We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content: - About the role: The introductory paragraphs describing mission, role purpose. Could be considered "About the role". We'll put that in

. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Duties/Responsibilities:" list and "Other Duties/Responsibilities:" etc. We'll list as

  • . - Requirements: The "Job Qualifications/Requirements" includes Character/Spiritual, Personal Characteristics, Knowledge/Experience. Could be considered Requirements. We'll separate maybe into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what content goes where. We have: - Character/Spiritual (faith-based requirements) - Personal Characteristics (integrity, stress handling, team-oriented, etc.) - Knowledge/Experience (Bachelor's degree, 3-5 years experience, portfolio, Adobe CC, platform specs, thumbnail performance measurement, aptitude for learning) - Skills, Abilities, and Special Talents/Gifts: list of skills (attention to detail, organizational, design at scale, iteration, typography, photography selection, communication, limited supervision, adaptability, feedback, commitment to developing skills) Thus we could map: - Requirements: Knowledge/Experience (education, experience, technical) - Qualifications: Character/Spiritual + Personal Characteristics? Or maybe Qualifications includes Character/Spiritual and Personal Characteristics. - Skills: Skills, Abilities, and Special Talents/Gifts. We also have Pay Range: $62,431 to $74,783. So include Pay section. Benefits: The posting lists benefits for employees scheduled for 20+ hours and 30+ hours. That's specific content. So Benefits section. Schedule: There's mention of "Weekly publishing deadlines drive a steady cadence of design output" and "Physical presence at the Colorado Springs campus" and "Fast-paced office environment". Not explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. There's mention of employees scheduled for 20 hours or more per week eligible for benefits, 30 hours or more per week eligible for additional benefits. So schedule could be inferred as full-time? But we should only include Schedule if posting actually states them. It does not explicitly state schedule like "Full-time, 40 hours per week". It mentions eligibility based on hours. Might be considered schedule info? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state benefits and pay. For schedule, it does not explicitly state schedule like "Full-time" or "Part-time". It mentions "Employees scheduled for 20 hours or more per week are eligible..." and "Employees scheduled for 30 hours or more per week are eligible...". That implies schedule expectations but not explicitly stating the schedule for this role. I'd argue we should not include Schedule section because not explicitly stated. However we could include a short paragraph about schedule under About the role? But better to omit Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Use

    for each section heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove those. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all duties, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Let's extract content. About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to "Essential Duties/Responsibilities:" maybe. Original text: "Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Focus on the Family has nearly 700 employees who work to achieve the mission of enriching the lives of families, engaging the culture, advocating for life and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We'll put that in

    under About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Duties/Responsibilities list (bullet points). Also Other Duties/Responsibilities: "Performs other duties as assigned". Also Managerial Breadth/Scope of Job: None (maybe not needed). Working Environment/Physical Requirements: "Fast-paced office environment with frequently changing priorities Physical presence at the Colorado Springs campus Weekly publishing deadlines drive a steady cadence of design output".

            • maybe with sub-lists? Could just list all benefits, but we need to preserve the distinction. Could create two sections: Benefits (20+ hours) and Additional Benefits (30+ hours). But instruction says use
              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could have nested lists? Probably okay to have a

                • we could have another
