Pharmacist (Facility Program Manager)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Summary (which is like About the role). Duties (Responsibilities). Qualifications (Basic Requirements etc). Work Schedule (Schedule). No explicit Pay, Benefits, Skills sections. So we should include About the role (maybe from Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Qualifications (Qualifications), Schedule (Work Schedule). Possibly also Requirements? The Qualifications section already includes requirements. Could separate Requirements and Qualifications but we have only Qualifications content. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include only those with content. So we will have:

About the role

... summary text ...

Responsibilities

• ... each duty ...

Qualifications

... qualifications text ... maybe split into

for subpoints? The qualifications are long with many subpoints. We could keep as

but it's huge. Better to break into

• for each major bullet: Basic Requirements, Education, Licensure, etc. But we must not invent headings inside. We can just put the qualifications text in

  preserving all info. However it's huge and may be okay. But we could also split into

  for each enumerated item (1), (2), etc. That would preserve detail. The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So qualifications include requirements list; we should format as list. So we can parse the qualifications section into list items. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all the qualification text exactly as given, but we can format as list items preserving the content. Must not omit any detail. We also need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes lines like "VA Careers - Pharmacy: https://youtube.com/embed/Fn_ickNBEws" which is maybe a link; should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's a link to a video. Might be considered part of posting; but it's not a duty/requirement. It's maybe extra info. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, and application instructions. The YouTube link is not those; we could keep it as part of About the role? It's after duties. Might be considered a resource; but we can keep it in About the role paragraph. Also "Work Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm (with rotating shift 1:00pm- 9:30pm) Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position" That's schedule info. Also "Functional Statement #: 63215F Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized PCS Appraised Value Offer (AVO): Not Authorized" This is metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Since it's minor metadata, we could drop it or include in a short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we could include a short p for Functional Statement etc. But better to drop as it's not substantive? It's metadata; maybe we can drop. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Metadata like Functional Statement may be considered not substantive for the job description? It's ambiguous. Safer to include as a short p under maybe a heading? But we don't have a heading for metadata. Could just add a

    after the sections containing that info. However the instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short p after the sections, maybe without heading. Thus final HTML:
