We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Kestra (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe not present. Could be "About the company". But headings list includes "About the role". We can use that for company overview? The instruction: use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Kestra (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe not present. Could be "About the company". But headings list includes "About the role". We can use that for company overview? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content exists.
We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting:
- Role description: "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 Tucson, AZ. This is a paid per fitting position."
That's about the role.
- ESSENTIAL DUTIES list: many bullet points.
- COMPETENCIES list: many bullet points.
- REQUIREMENTS: Education/Experience Required: list.
- Preferred: list.
- WORK ENVIRONMENT: bullet points.
- PHYSICAL DEMANDS: bullet points.
- TRAVEL: bullet.
- OTHER DUTIES: statement.
We need to map to headings: Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (education/experience required), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (competencies?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have mention of "paid per fitting position" and "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". So Pay and Schedule have some content: "paid per fitting position" and "competitive pay provided". Also "Flexibility of work schedule". So we can include Pay and Schedule sections.
Benefits: Not explicitly mentioned besides maybe "competitive pay". No benefits like health insurance etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits. So skip Benefits.
We need to include About the role? Could use that heading for company overview and role summary. The posting includes intro about Kestra and role summary. That could be under About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put "ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS)" as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections.
We must not include duplicated lines (the intro appears twice). We need to deduplicate.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement: "Kestra Medical Technologies, Inc does not discriminate...". That's boilerplate; we should remove it.
Also "OTHER DUTIES: This job description is not designed to cover..." maybe keep? It's substantive but generic. It's not boilerplate; it's part of job description. We can keep it under maybe Responsibilities or a separate section like "Other Duties". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put it under Responsibilities as a paragraph.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like numbers, locations, etc.

We need to output HTML with sections.
We must not include headings for sections that have no real specific content. Benefits: none. So skip Benefits.
Pay: we have "paid per fitting position" and "competitive pay provided". So we can include Pay section with those statements.
Schedule: we have "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided" (already in Pay) and "Ability to accept an assignment that could include daytime, evening, and weekend hours". Also "Extended hours when needed". So Schedule section can include those.
We also have "Variable conditions during travel" etc under Work Environment. Could we create a Work Environment section? Not in allowed headings list but we could incorporate under Responsibilities or maybe under a generic section? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g...). Likely they expect us to use only those headings. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus we need to fit Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel, Other Duties into one of the allowed headings. Perhaps under Responsibilities we can include duties and also work environment etc. But we must preserve all info; we can include them as paragraphs under Responsibilities.
Qualifications: could be used for preferred qualifications? Or we could put Requirements under Requirements heading, and Qualifications under Qualifications heading (maybe for preferred). Skills could be for Competencies.
Thus:
- About the role: company overview + role summary.
- Responsibilities: essential duties list + other duties statement.
- Requirements: education/experience required list.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications list.
- Skills: competencies list.
- Pay: pay info.
- Schedule: schedule info.
We must not include Benefits.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g...). Likely they expect us to use only those headings. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus we need to fit Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel, Other Duties into one of the allowed headings. Perhaps under Responsibilities we can include duties and also work environment etc. But we must preserve all info; we can include them as paragraphs under Responsibilities.
Qualifications: could be used for preferred qualifications? Or we could put Requirements under Requirements heading, and Qualifications under Qualifications heading (maybe for preferred). Skills could be for Competencies.
Thus:
- About the role: company overview + role summary.
- Responsibilities: essential duties list + other duties statement.
- Requirements: education/experience required list.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications list.
- Skills: competencies list.
- Pay: pay info.
- Schedule: schedule info.
We must not include Benefits.

We need to ensure we preserve all specifics. Let's craft each section. About the role paragraph: combine company description and role summary.
