We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "About The Department", "What You Should Bring", "Minimum & Additional Requirements", "Preferred Qualifications", "The Opportunity: Examples of Work". Also there is an overview earlier. We need to use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. The instructions: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It might be safer to stick to those headings. We can incorporate department info into About the role.
Check for any other substantive info: "The City of Alexandria is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's boilerplate to remove.
Now ensure we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to wrap each section in
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. The instructions: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (maybe "The Opportunity: Examples of Work" and overview tasks), Requirements (Minimum & Additional Requirements), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from "What You Should Bring" includes communication, problem-solving, etc.), Benefits (none mentioned), Pay (none), Schedule (maybe mention evenings/weekends, after-hours emergencies, ability to work nights and weekends as needed). There's schedule info: "must be available to work some evenings and weekends and be able to respond to after-hours emergencies" and later "Ability to work nights and weekends as needed". So we can include Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have concrete content.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from overview, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, schedule.
We must not include EEO boilerplate, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
