Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About the role / Who We Are: description of organization, mission, impacts, B Corp, etc. That's substantive.
- What We Are Looking For: description of hiring a Physical Education Coach in NJ location, experience coaching group sports, core values list.
- What You’ll Be Doing: description of PE classes, shifts, responsibilities broken into categories: Lesson Planning & Facilitation, Assessment & Progression, Engagement..., Communication & Collaboration, Safety & Supervision, Professionalism & Representation.

We need to decide which sections to output.
We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can map:
- About the role: Who We Are, mission, impacts, B Corp.
- Responsibilities: What You’ll Be Doing (including subcategories). Could also include Weekly Hours & Communication Commitment as part of responsibilities or schedule.
- Requirements: maybe combine qualifications and requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe separate but we can combine.
- Skills: maybe core values list? Could be skills.
- Benefits: maybe OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU? Not exactly benefits but could be benefits.
- Pay: Compensation section.
- Schedule: Weekly Hours & Communication Commitment (shifts 8am-2pm). Could also include seasonal part-time.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range.
We must not create Benefits unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits like health insurance, etc. OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU is more about culture, not benefits. Might be considered benefits? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Benefits: we don't have explicit benefits like health, retirement, etc. So we should omit Benefits section.
Similarly, Skills: we could include core values as skills? Might be okay if we have content. The posting lists core values: Positivity, Empathy, Commitment, Ambition, Inclusivity. Those could be considered skills/attributes. We could create a Skills section with those as list.
Qualifications: we have list of qualifications (degree preferred, experience, etc.). Could be separate.
Requirements: maybe same as qualifications? But we can split: Requirements = mandatory requirements (experience, background checks, certifications). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (degree, adaptive experience). However we need to avoid duplication.
Better to have:
- About the role (h3)
- Responsibilities (h3) with subheadings? We cannot use headings other than h3 for section headings. Inside we can use
and
- . Could we include subheadings as ? Not prohibited. We'll just list responsibilities as bullet points grouped maybe.
- Requirements (h3) for mandatory: experience, background checks, TB test, etc.
- Qualifications (h3) for preferred: degree, adaptive experience, CPR etc.
- Skills (h3) for core values.
- Pay (h3) for compensation.

We must not repeat job title.
We must preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract details.
