We need to output only HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading with filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes: - About the role (first paragraph after title): "This role focuses on managing end-to-end prior authorization and insurance verification processes for specialty medications, ensuring patients gain timely access to therapy while receiving accurate, high-quality support. You will work in a hybrid office and remote environment, handling detailed pharmacy and insurance tasks, communicating with patients and healthcare providers, and supporting a rapidly growing specialty pharmacy operation dedicated to improving outcomes for individuals with rare and complex diseases." - Responsibilities: list of bullet points (the long list). We'll need to convert each line into

  • . - Essential Skills: list of bullet points. - Additional Skills & Qualifications: list. - Work Environment: paragraph(s) describing hybrid, schedule, etc. - Job Type & Location: maybe not needed as heading? Could be part of About? But we can include maybe "Job Type & Location" as a heading? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Job Type & Location into About the role or maybe omit if not needed. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include it in a paragraph under About the role or separate section like "Job Details". But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills (combining Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications), Work Environment, Pay and Benefits, Schedule (if present). There's also "Pay And Benefits" section with details. Also schedule info in Work Environment. We need to include Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does: Pay range $22.50 - $22.50/hr (same). Benefits list. Schedule: The posting mentions flexible shift options and hours. So we can include a Schedule section. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must remove boilerplate: The sections about Actalent, equal opportunity, etc. Remove. Also remove "Application Deadline", "Job Type & Location" maybe we can keep location in About the role or Work Environment? The location is Cary, NC. Could be included in About the role paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include location, job type (Contract to Hire), maybe mention that it's contract to hire. That's substantive. We could include a short paragraph under About the role that includes location and job type. Let's extract details: - Role: Pharmacy Technician (title not repeated as heading) - About the role: This role focuses on managing end-to-end prior authorization and insurance verification processes for specialty medications, ensuring patients gain timely access to therapy while receiving accurate, high-quality support.

Could be separate. But we already have schedule info in Work Environment. Could create a Schedule section with the shift options and hours. However we might avoid duplication. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we keep Work Environment covering environment and schedule. But we also have Pay and Benefits separate. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills (maybe combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications into one Skills section), Work Environment, Pay and Benefits. We need to use

    for each section heading. Inside each section, we need

We must remove boilerplate: Actalent description, EEO, etc. We must not include application instructions, deadline, etc. We must preserve all substantive information: location, job type, etc. Let's craft HTML.

You will work in a hybrid office and remote environment, handling detailed pharmacy and insurance tasks, communicating with patients and healthcare providers, and supporting a rapidly growing specialty pharmacy operation dedicated to improving outcomes for individuals with rare and complex diseases.
