We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes Overview (Who Are We?), Work Arrangement, Why Join Crowley?, What You'll Do, Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities, Additional Responsibilities), Qualifications (Education & Credentials, Experience, Technical Skills, etc.), What We Offer (benefits). Also there is "Overview Who Are We?" which could be "About the role" or "Overview". We need to map to headings: maybe "About the role" for overview, "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Benefits". There's also "Work Arrangement" maybe not a standard heading; but we could include as a paragraph under overview? The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can use other headings if appropriate? It says use

We must not include Pay or Schedule unless specified; not present. So omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). There's none.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

We need to extract lists: Responsibilities have many bullet-like sentences; we can turn each into

Benefits: list items.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Keep all details.
