We need to output only HTML fragment, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (like contact email? Might be considered application instructions; but contact info maybe not needed? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So contact email likely considered application instructions, remove. Also remove "All applicants for entry-level positions are required to create an account through the National Testing Network (NTN)..." That's application instructions, remove. Also "All required documents (listed below) must be uploaded..." remove. Also "Any candidate who has not completed their NTN test or attached the required documents will not be considered." remove. Also "Certified officers who are not currently employed must complete the entry-level application and are not eligible for lateral entry." remove. Also "The Grandview Heights Division of Police is accepting applications for an eligibility list for the position of Police Officer." That's about the role? Might be considered about the role. Keep description of eligibility list etc. Keep details about service area, staffing, shifts, core values, essential functions, equipment, physical requirements, education and experience, qualifications, salary info, documents required (maybe considered application instructions? It's about required docs; but we might keep as part of Requirements? The instruction says remove application instructions, but documents required could be considered part of requirements. However they said "Remove ... application instructions." The list of required documents is likely part of application instructions. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. However we must remove application instructions. This is contradictory. The instruction says remove application instructions, but also preserve ALL substantive information. Likely they consider the NTN account creation etc as boilerplate/application instructions, not substantive job content. The required documents list maybe also considered application instructions. But they said "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The documents required are substantive for eligibility. However they also said remove application instructions. I'd interpret that the NTN account creation and submission instructions are application instructions, but the list of required documents is part of qualifications/requirements. Might keep it under Requirements or Qualifications. However the list includes specifics like NTN Personal History Questionnaire, copy of driver's license, birth certificate, OPOTA certificate, college diploma, military experience. That is substantive. I'd keep it under Requirements (or maybe under Qualifications). We'll decide. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role: description of division, service area, staffing, shifts, core values, eligibility list validity, etc. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. Requirements: Education And Experience, Special Requirements (age, citizenship, etc), maybe also documents required? Could be under Requirements. Qualifications: Knowledge Of, Skill In, Ability To etc. Skills: maybe overlapping with Qualifications; but we can separate: Knowledge as Qualifications, Skills as Skill In, Abilities as Skills? The instruction says use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both Knowledge and Skill and Ability sections. Could combine into Qualifications and Skills. We'll put Knowledge under Qualifications, Skill under Skills, Ability under Skills? Might be redundant. Better: Qualifications: Knowledge Of ... ; Skills: Skill In ... ; Abilities: Ability To ... but we only have Skills and Qualifications headings allowed. We could put Skill In under Skills, Ability To under Qualifications? But Ability To is more like skills. Let's decide: Qualifications: Knowledge Of ... ; Skills: Skill In ... and Ability To ... combined. Benefits: Not explicitly stated besides shift differential? There's shift differential of $1.30 mentioned under Salary Information. Benefits maybe not given. No explicit benefits like health insurance etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not. So omit Benefits. Pay: Salary Information with steps and shift differential. Include that. Schedule: The posting mentions twelve-hour (12) shifts, guaranteeing members every other weekend off. Also mention works irregular, on-call, emergency hours, evenings, weekends, holidays. So we have schedule info. Include Schedule section. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must not include markdown fences. Let's craft. About the role: paragraph(s) describing division, service area, staffing, shifts, core values, eligibility list validity. Responsibilities: list of essential functions. Requirements: include Education And Experience, Special Requirements (age, citizenship, etc), maybe also documents required? We'll include documents required as list under Requirements. Qualifications: Knowledge Of list. Skills: Skill In list and Ability To list combined? Could separate into two

      under Skills. Pay: Salary Information with table? We'll use
