We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Requisition #: req12471 (metadata) - Shift: Varies (but we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states schedule specifics; "Varies" is vague; we should not create Schedule if it's just "Varies" (non-specific). The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we should not create Schedule section because shift varies is vague. - FTE status: 0.9 (metadata) - On-call: No - Weekends: Yes These are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with those details. - General Summary: description. - Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: includes many bullet-like statements. - Essential Functions And Responsibilities: long list. - Then advanced job duties etc. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be the General Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions And Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe the Knowledge, Skills And Abilities includes requirements like age, education, licenses, certifications, experience. - Qualifications: maybe similar to Requirements; but we need to avoid duplication. Could combine. - Skills: maybe the skills like math, communication, etc. - Benefits: none mentioned. - Pay: none. - Schedule: not specific. Thus we will include sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Skills (h3). Possibly Qualifications if distinct; but we can treat Requirements as qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those specific headings if content exists. We have content for Requirements (education, license, certifications, experience). We have content for Skills (math, communication, etc). We could also have Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements). To avoid duplication, we could put Requirements and Qualifications together? But they'd be separate headings; we could decide to not include Qualifications if it's redundant. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we think Qualifications content is same as Requirements, we could still include Qualifications but it would be duplicate; better to omit Qualifications and just have Requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists. We must not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). No job title given in snippet; we ignore. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph at top with Requisition #: req12471, Shift: Varies, FTE status: 0.9, On-call: No, Weekends: Yes. That's minor metadata. Now we need to extract the content. General Summary paragraph: "The pharmacy technician performs the full range of technical and clerical level duties to assist the Pharmacist in the formulation, preparation, maintenance of patient records, dispensing and delivery of medications and pharmaceutical supplies. The Pharmacy Tech works under the direct supervision of the Pharmacist." That's prose; put in

    . Knowledge, Skills And Abilities section: includes many statements. We need to split into Requirements and Skills. Let's parse: "Must be 18 years of age or older." -> requirement (age). "Education: High school graduate or equivalent required. College courses or completion of a higher degree preferred." -> requirement (education). "Licenses: One of the following license types are required (in order of preference): Michigan Pharmacy Technician License, Michigan Pharmacy Technician License – Limited, Michigan Pharmacy Technician License – Temporary The temporary license allows an applicant to begin employment while preparing to take the examination required for full licensure. Full licensure must be obtained within the 210 day temporary licensure period." -> requirement (licenses). "Certifications: Pass certified pharmacy technician examination from either of the following: Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) – Preferred, or National Healthcareer Association (NHA) Note: Pharmacy technicians that have not completed the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) certification program MUST obtain this certification within 1 year or 3 attempts from date of hire." -> requirement (certifications). "Preferred experience: (In order of importance): 1-2 years of hospital pharmacy experience or 1-2 years of retail pharmacy experience." -> requirement (experience). "Good math/basic algebra background mandatory; as obtained through formal education or prior experience as a pharmacy technician." -> skill (math). "ASHP / USP 797 based certification in aseptic technique preferred." -> could be qualification/skill; maybe skill/certification. "Is an accurate, independent worker, possesses good communication skills, and, cooperates and takes direction from others." -> skill (soft skills). Thus we can put Requirements: age, education, licenses, certifications, experience, ASHP/USP 797 preferred (maybe as preferred). Skills: math/basic algebra, accurate independent worker, good communication skills, cooperates/takes direction. Now Essential Functions And Responsibilities: huge list. We need to capture all duties as list items. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty as a list item. However the list is long with many sentences; we can break each sentence into a
