We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First paragraph: "At Northwestern Medicine, every patient interaction makes a difference..." This is about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About Northwestern Medicine". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create an "About the role" section with that prose. Then "Job Description" heading is not needed; we can treat as part of description. We need to extract responsibilities list: after "Responsibilities:" there is a long list of duties separated by periods. We need to convert to
  • items. Each sentence seems a duty. We'll split by period? But need to preserve content. We'll create list items for each duty sentence. Then "Quality Management Responsibilities" maybe part of responsibilities; but we can include as part of responsibilities list or separate? Probably keep within responsibilities. Then "Qualifications Required:" list: High School Diploma, Illinois Pharmacy Technician License (IDFPR), Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) certification through PTCB or ExCPT through NHA required for all those licensed after 2008. Newly licensed Technicians have 2 years from license effective date to obtain their certification. Preferred: Completion of a Technician Training Program, Previous experience as a Pharmacy Technician. We need to separate Required and Preferred maybe as subheadings? Not required but we can include as list items with notes. Then "Additional Information" includes EEO etc which we should remove (boilerplate). Also Background Check, AI Disclosure - remove. Then "Benefits" section: "We offer a wide range of benefits that provide employees with tools and resources to improve their physical, emotional, and financial well-being while providing protection for unexpected life events. Please visit our Benefits section to learn more." That's vague; not specific benefits listed. According to rule: do NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states generic benefits but not specific. It says "Please visit our Benefits section to learn more." That's not specific. Likely we should not include Benefits section because no concrete benefits listed. However earlier there is a paragraph: "We pride ourselves on providing competitive benefits: from tuition reimbursement and loan forgiveness to 401(k) matching and lifecycle benefits, our goal is to take care of our employees." That's specific benefits: tuition reimbursement, loan forgiveness, 401(k) matching, lifecycle benefits. That is before the Job Description. So we have specific benefits mentioned. So we should include Benefits section with those items. Pay: Not mentioned. Schedule: Scheduling: This position is regularly scheduled to work full-time, 40 hours weekly. Shift times are subject to change based upon departmental/patient care needs. Currently this position is anticipated to work rotating shifts (AM and PM shifts). Weekend Commitment: Every other weekend (Saturday and Sunday) Holiday Commitment: 1 winter and 1 summer holiday. So we have schedule details. So include Schedule section. We also have location: "The primary work location for this position is the Prentice 10th floor pharmacy. However, this position could rotate to other pharmacies, subject to the needs of the work group." Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in list of headings; we could incorporate into About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, Background Check, AI Disclosure, Sign-on Bonus Eligibility (though it's somewhat specific but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about sign-on bonus eligibility; could be considered benefit? But it's conditional. Might be considered part of Benefits? But it's about eligibility; we could include as part of Benefits? However it's not a benefit per se; it's eligibility rule. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Sign-on bonus eligibility is not exactly those but could be considered part of benefits? Might keep? But it's quite specific. However it's under "Additional Information". Might be considered not boilerplate. But we already have Benefits section; we could add a note about sign-on bonus eligibility. However the rule: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could add to Benefits. But we need to decide. Let's extract benefits specifics: tuition reimbursement, loan forgiveness, 401(k) matching, lifecycle benefits. Also maybe sign-on bonus eligibility details. We'll create Benefits
      with those items. Now schedule: full-time 40 hours weekly, rotating shifts AM/PM, every other weekend, 1 winter and 1 summer holiday. Now responsibilities: need to parse list. Let's copy responsibilities text: "Prepares medication orders for inpatients. Prepares prescriptions for outpatients. Picks up orders and delivers medications to nursing units. Schedules intravenous admixture solutions according to the patient’s medical record. Reports any variance from the record to a pharmacist. Answers the telephone according to hospital policy. Screens the call to determine if the call should be handled by a pharmacist or a technician. Enters new drug orders and renewal/refill information into the computerized patient medication profile. Uses the computer system to assist in all dispensing and inquiry functions. Compares the patient medication bin with the pharmacy and nursing record. Returns unnecessary and/or outdated medication to the pharmacy. Reconciles use records and reports any discrepancies to a pharmacist. Receives, prepares, and distributes floor stock requisitions and requisitions for other clinical locations. Compounds dosage forms needed for dispensing to patients. Assists in maintaining adequate inventory levels in the dispensing areas. Packages extemporaneous and STAT single doses of medications under the supervision of a pharmacist. Prepares and maintains the emergency medication systems. Prepares sterile products for administration to patients. Selects proper diluents and vehicles and determines the appropriate stability. Prepares cytotoxic agents for administration employing hospital and department aseptic and protective procedures. Plans and performs the daily tasks required to provide department services under the direction of a pharmacist. Prepares and delivers narcotics and narcotic admixtures. Conducts narcotic perpetual inventories as directed. Meets quality and quantity requirements for new orders, unit doses, and IV admixtures. Ensures compliance with hazardous waste collection and disposal procedures. Quality Management Responsibilities This position assists in maintaining emergency carts, inventory, and controlled substances records. Accurate completion of responsibilities is essential to an efficient, error free drug distribution system." We need to split into items. The last two sentences maybe not a duty but a statement; we could still include as list item? Might be better to keep as prose? But rule: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make each duty a list item. The last two sentences are more general statements; maybe we can include them as list items as well, but they are not duties. Could incorporate into a

        after list. However rule says use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid having prose after list. We'll keep the duties as list items, and then maybe a

          for the quality management responsibilities statement. But the "Quality Management Responsibilities" heading could be considered a subsection; but we can just include as part of responsibilities list. Simplify: create

            with each sentence ending with a period as
          • . For the last two sentences, we can combine into one
          • maybe. Let's split: 1. Prepares medication orders for inpatients. 2. Prepares prescriptions for outpatients. 3. Picks up orders and delivers medications to nursing units. 4. Schedules intravenous admixture solutions according to the patient’s medical record. 5. Reports any variance from the record to a pharmacist. 6. Answers the telephone according to hospital policy. 7. Screens the call to determine if the call should be handled by a pharmacist or a technician. 8. Enters new drug orders and renewal/refill information into the computerized patient medication profile. 9. Uses the computer system to assist in all dispensing and inquiry functions. 10. Compares the patient medication bin with the pharmacy and nursing record. 11. Returns unnecessary and/or outdated medication to the pharmacy. 12. Reconciles use records and reports any discrepancies to a pharmacist. 13. Receives, prepares, and distributes floor stock requisitions and requisitions for other clinical locations. 14. Compounds dosage forms needed for dispensing to patients. 15. Assists in maintaining adequate inventory levels in the dispensing areas. 16. Packages extemporaneous and STAT single doses of medications under the supervision of a pharmacist. 17. Prepares and maintains the emergency medication systems. 18. Prepares sterile products for administration to patients. 19. Selects proper diluents and vehicles and determines the appropriate stability. 20. Prepares cytotoxic agents for administration employing hospital and department aseptic and protective procedures. 21. Plans and performs the daily tasks required to provide department services under the direction of a pharmacist. 22. Prepares and delivers narcotics and narcotic admixtures. 23. Conducts narcotic perpetual inventories as directed. 24. Meets quality and quantity requirements for new orders, unit doses, and IV admixtures. 25. Ensures compliance with hazardous waste collection and disposal procedures. 26. Assists in maintaining emergency carts, inventory, and controlled substances records. 27. Accurate completion of responsibilities is essential to an efficient, error free drug distribution system. Now qualifications required list: - High School Diploma - Illinois Pharmacy Technician License (IDFPR) - Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) certification through PTCB or ExCPT through NHA required for all those licensed after 2008. - Newly licensed Technicians have 2 years from license effective date to obtain their certification. Preferred: - Completion of a Technician Training Program - Previous experience as a Pharmacy Technician We could make two sublists or just one list with notes. We'll create
              with items; maybe add a note for preferred. Now benefits: tuition reimbursement, loan forgiveness, 401(k) matching, lifecycle benefits. Also maybe sign-on bonus eligibility? We'll include sign-on bonus eligibility as a note? Might be considered benefit but it's conditional. I'd include it as a separate bullet: "Sign-on bonus eligibility (see policy)". But to be safe, maybe omit sign-on bonus eligibility as it's not a direct benefit. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can keep benefits with those four items. Now schedule: full-time 40 hours weekly, rotating shifts AM/PM, every other weekend, 1 winter and 1 summer holiday. Now About the role: combine initial paragraph plus location maybe. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "At Northwestern Medicine, every patient interaction makes a difference in cultivating a positive workplace. This patient-first approach is what sets us apart as a leader in the healthcare industry. As an integral part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to join our quest for better health care, no matter where you work within the Northwestern Medicine system. We pride ourselves on providing competitive benefits: from tuition reimbursement and loan forgiveness to 401(k) matching and lifecycle benefits, our goal is to take care of our employees. Ready to join our quest for better? The primary work location for this position is the Prentice 10th floor pharmacy; however, this position could rotate to other pharmacies as needed." We need to avoid repeating job title. That's fine. Now we must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we didn't duplicate. Now output HTML fragment: sections with

              headings. Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly also Skills? Not present. We
