We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. The posting includes: About This Role (we can map to About the role). Responsibilities: "In This Role, You Will Be Responsible For ..." includes bullet-like sentences. Requirements: there is "Required Qualifications" with subpoints. Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections we have content for.
We have:
- About the role: content from "About This Role" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: content from "In This Role, You Will Be Responsible For ..." list.
- Requirements: maybe the "Required Qualifications" includes Experience, Licensing, Technical Expertise, Project Management Skills, Leadership & Mentorship, Problem-Solving & Analytical Skills, Compliance & Safety, Business Acumen, Communication Skills, Technology Proficiency, Availability & Flexibility, Driver’s License, Physical Requirements. That's a lot; could be considered Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe we could separate "Required Qualifications" as Qualifications, but we already used Requirements. Could combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering all required qualifications), Benefits, Pay (they mention Competitive pay based on experience, Sales commission, Commission pay, Weekly Paychecks). Also Schedule? They mention flexible schedules, willingness to respond after-hours, evenings and weekends as needed. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule.
We should not include sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". But we have actual statements: Competitive pay based on experience, Sales commission on selected projects, Commission pay on all revenue, Reliable, Year-Round Work, Weekly Paychecks, Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays, Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision Benefits, Company Matched 401k. That's benefits and pay.
Pay section: we have "Competitive pay based on experience Sales commission on selected projects Commission pay on all revenue". That's specific enough.
Schedule: "flexible schedules, professional and on-the-job training, and growth plans." plus "Willingness to respond to after-hours emergencies and take on flexible work schedules, including evenings and weekends as needed." So schedule content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove "Southern Home Services is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "This is a non-exempt position." maybe not needed but it's substantive? It's about classification; could be considered part of requirements? Might be minor metadata; we could drop or include in a short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can drop the EEO and non-exempt line. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details from the posting. We'll produce HTML with sections:
