We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Kestra (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role and company. We can put company overview under "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role for description of role and company.
- Responsibilities: list of essential duties (the bullet list). Use
- .
- Requirements: list of requirements (Education/Experience Required etc). Use
- .
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? The posting has "Preferred: Knowledge of MS Office..." and "Direct cardiac patient care experience – RN, RT, CVIS, Paramedic, CRM". Could be under Qualifications or Skills. We'll decide.
- Skills: list of competencies (Passion, Integrity, etc). Those are competencies/skills. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can use lists for duties, requirements, benefits. Work environment etc could be considered part of duties? Not exactly. But we could still include them as
paragraphs under About the role or Responsibilities. The instruction says: "Use
for prose." So we can put prose paragraphs for those sections. Thus we can have:
About the role

The company was founded in 2014 by industry leaders inspired by the opportunity to unite modern wearable technologies with proven device therapies. Kestra’s solutions combine high quality and technical performance with a wearable design that provides the greatest regard for patient comfort and dignity.

The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities in support of the sales organization and the team of Regional Clinical Advisors (RCA). The APS will serve as the local patient care representative to provide effective and efficient patient fittings. We have an opening in Spartanburg, SC. This is a paid per fitting position.
Then Responsibilities: list of essential duties (including flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided? Actually that is a benefit but we could still include it there; but we will later separate Pay and Schedule. Might duplicate. Better to keep Pay and Schedule separate and not duplicate. So in Responsibilities we list duties excluding the flexibility/competitive pay line. We'll keep that line for Pay and Schedule sections. Thus Responsibilities list: - Act as a contractor ASSURE® Patient Specialist (APS) to fit and train local patients with a wearable defibrillator via training assignments dispatched from corporate headquarters. - The APS will be trained and Certified as an ASSURE Patient Specialist by Kestra. - Ability to provide instruction and instill confidence in Assure® patients with demonstrated patient care skills - Willingness to contact prescribers, caregivers and patients to schedule services - Ability to accept an assignment that could include daytime, evening, and weekend hours - Travel to hospitals, patient’s homes and other healthcare facilities to provide fitting services - Measure the patient to determine the correct garment size - Review and transmit essential paperwork with the patient to receive the Assure® garment and services - Manage inventory of the Assure®
- .
- Benefits: The posting mentions "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". Also "paid per fitting position". Also maybe "competitive pay". Benefits maybe not explicit beyond pay and schedule. We have "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". That could be Benefits and Pay and Schedule. But we need to only create sections if posting actually states them. It states competitive pay (but not amount). It says "paid per fitting position". It also says "Flexibility of work schedule". So we have Pay and Schedule info. Benefits maybe not explicit besides flexibility and pay. Could treat "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided" as Benefits? But we have separate Pay and Schedule headings allowed. We could put Pay section with "Competitive pay provided; paid per fitting." Schedule section with "Flexible work schedule; assignments may include daytime, evening, and weekend hours." Benefits maybe not present; we could omit Benefits section.
- Qualifications: Could include education/experience required (but that is also Requirements). Usually Requirements are mandatory, Qualifications are preferred. We'll separate: Requirements = mandatory (Education/Experience Required etc). Qualifications = preferred (Knowledge of MS Office, Direct cardiac patient care experience). Also maybe "Completion of background check" etc are requirements.
- Skills: Competencies list.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can group them.
Let's extract all substantive info:

We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement at end is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also duplicated lines: The intro about Kestra appears twice; we should keep only once.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all the details listed above (except removed boilerplate). We need to format into sections.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: Could include company overview and role description (including location, paid per fitting). Might also include "We have an opening in Spartanburg, SC. This is a paid per fitting position."
- Responsibilities: essential duties list.
- Requirements: mandatory requirements list.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications list.
- Skills: competencies list.
- Benefits: maybe not present; we have "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided" which could be considered Benefits? But we have separate Pay and Schedule sections allowed. The posting mentions flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided under Essential Duties (makes sense). So we could put Pay section: "Competitive pay provided; paid per fitting position." Schedule section: "Flexible work schedule; assignments may include daytime, evening, and weekend hours." Benefits: maybe not explicit; we could omit Benefits section.
But we need to ensure we don't create a section with filler like "not specified". We have actual info for Pay and Schedule, so we can include them.
We also have Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel, Other Duties. Those are not in allowed headings list; we could possibly incorporate them into Responsibilities or About the role? But instructions: Use headings only from the list; we should not create other headings. However we must preserve all substantive information. We could include those details under Responsibilities as additional bullet points? But they are not duties exactly; they are work environment, physical demands, travel. Could we put them under Responsibilities? Might be stretching but we need to preserve info. Perhaps we can include them under About the role as additional description. But better to incorporate them under Responsibilities as they are still part of job details. However the instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can use lists for duties, requirements, benefits. Work environment etc could be considered part of duties? Not exactly. But we could still include them as
