We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Job Summary" then "Duties & Responsibilities", "Position Work Schedule", "Physical Demands and Working Conditions", "Minimum Qualifications", "Knowledge, Skills and Abilities", "Appointment Information", maybe "Benefits". We need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Job Summary: Provide pharmaceutical support... includes duties. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The summary is short. - Duties & Responsibilities: long list. - Position Work Schedule: schedule Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm. - Physical Demands and Working Conditions: details. - Minimum Qualifications: registration, training/experience. - Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: list. - Appointment Information: full-time Civil Service, start date, hourly wage $19.176, etc. Also mention benefits later. - Benefits: later paragraph: "The university offers a highly competitive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and financial security. ... includes Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, a Retirement Plan, Paid time Off, and Tuition waivers for employees and dependents." Thus we have Pay (hourly wage) and Benefits and Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. So we can include: - About the role (maybe from Job Summary). Could be a

    . - Responsibilities (from Duties & Responsibilities) as

    • . - Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? But we need separate sections if content exists. Could have "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications, and "Skills" for knowledge, skills and abilities. - Schedule (from Position Work Schedule) as

      maybe. - Physical Demands and Working Conditions maybe as a section? Not in the list of allowed headings but we could still use

      with a custom heading? The instruction says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we could still use other headings? Probably better to stick to those headings; but we have Physical Demands and Working Conditions content that is substantive. Could we incorporate into "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? Not exactly. Might be better to create a section "Working Conditions". However 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 suggests those as examples. Safer to include a section for Physical Demands maybe as "Working Conditions". But not in list; maybe we can incorporate into "Requirements" as a bullet? But it's not a requirement; it's description of work environment. Could be part of "About the role". Might be okay to add a section "Working Conditions". The instruction didn't forbid; just gave examples. I'd include it. - Benefits: we have benefits details. - Pay: hourly wage. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We must remove application instructions, boilerplate, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each section. Let's extract content. Job Summary: "Provide pharmaceutical support to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital Medication Dispensary, including inventory management." Duties & Responsibilities: long paragraph with many duties.

We need to drop application instructions etc. Also drop the link maybe? It's minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop the link as it's not essential? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; the link is not substantive? It's a reference for classification; maybe we can keep as a short p.

This position is intended to be eligible for benefits . This includes Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, a Retirement Plan, Paid time Off, and Tuition waivers for employees and dependents." We need to remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The benefits paragraph includes some fluff about AI tools etc. That's still substantive? It's about benefits eligibility. We'll keep the benefits list. We need to output HTML fragment with sections. Let's decide sections: - About the role (Job Summary) as

      . - Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities) as

      • . - Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications) as
        • . - Qualifications? Actually we have Minimum Qualifications and Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Could combine into "Qualifications" and "Skills".

          maybe

            but it's prose. - Pay (hourly wage) as

            • . We must not create sections with filler. All have content. We need to avoid repeating job title. We need to ensure we don't include application instructions, EEO, etc. Let's craft. HTML:
