We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: Position Summary (description), Essential Job Duties (list), Professional And Ethical Responsibilities (list), Additional Job Responsibilities (list), Supervisory Functions (list), Requirements (with subparts: QUALIFICATIONS Education And Experience Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Other Requirements), WORKING CONDITIONS (list). Also maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present. So we should not create those sections.
We need to use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: Position Summary (description), Essential Job Duties (list), Professional And Ethical Responsibilities (list), Additional Job Responsibilities (list), Supervisory Functions (list), Requirements (with subparts: QUALIFICATIONS Education And Experience Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Other Requirements), WORKING CONDITIONS (list). Also maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present. So we should not create those sections.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all content from the description, but we can structure into sections.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" for position summary paragraph. "Responsibilities" could combine Essential Job Duties, Professional And Ethical Responsibilities, Additional Job Responsibilities, Supervisory Functions. Could separate but we can combine into one Responsibilities section with sublists? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. However we must not create sections with filler. We have content for Qualifications (Education And Experience Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Other Requirements). Also we have Skills maybe part of Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. Could separate Skills section? But we have "Skills" as a possible heading; we could put the Skills And Abilities there. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Requirements" section? But they gave separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide.
We have content: Education And Experience Required (qualifications), Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required (skills/knowledge), Other Requirements (additional). So we could have a section "Requirements" with subheadings? But we cannot use headings other than . Could we use for each subheading? Possibly but they'd be considered sections. Might be okay.
Better: Use sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (combining Essential Job Duties, Professional And Ethical Responsibilities, Additional Job Responsibilities, Supervisory Functions). Requirements (Education And Experience Required). Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required). Skills (Other Requirements). But that seems odd.
Alternatively, we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including Education, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities, Other Requirements). That would be fewer sections.
Given instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine.
Thus sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (all duty lists). Requirements (Education And Experience Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Other Requirements). Working Conditions (maybe as its own section? Not in the list of headings but we could still include if content present. The instruction gave examples but not exclusive; we could add a section for Working Conditions if we want. However they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests those are typical but not exhaustive; we could add others if needed. But better to stick to those headings. Working Conditions could be part of Requirements? Not ideal. Could create a section "Working Conditions" as though not in examples but permissible. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. I'd include Working Conditions as a section.
Thus final HTML:

Requirements
