Primary Keeper C, Senior Keeper A or B, African Savanna and Rainforest
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map sections accordingly. We have Position Summary could be "About the role". Essential Job Duties could be "Responsibilities". Who You Are could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We have both Requirements and Qualifications; we can combine. Knowledge, Skills, and Qualities could be "Skills". Benefits as Benefits. Pay as Pay. Schedule? Not provided, so omit. Also we have Work Environment and Physical Considerations maybe could be part of "Work Environment" section? Could create a section "Work Environment" with those details. But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Work Environment and Physical Considerations into a single "Work Environment" section. Also "Knowledge, Skills, and Qualities" could be "Skills". We'll produce sections: About the role (Position Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Job Duties), Requirements (Who You Are minimum requirements + maybe also include bonus? but bonus is optional; we can include as part of Requirements or Qualifications). Could have Qualifications separate but we can combine. Let's do: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting except application instructions and boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive info:

- Benefits: Oakland Zoo offers a comprehensive benefits package, including Health insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, Flexible spending account, Retirement plan, Paid time off, Employee Assistance Program, and Zoo Membership options.
- Salary Description: $28.45 to $31.92 per hour (also earlier Payrate: $29.08 to $31.92 per hour). There's a slight discrepancy; we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Both ranges appear. We should include both? The posting says: Payrate: To maintain internal equity, we have identified the pay range for this position at the Oakland Zoo to be between $29.08 to $31.92 per hour. An offer within this range will be determined... Then later Salary Description $28.45 to $31.92 per hour. Both are substantive; we should include both maybe as separate statements. Could combine as "Pay range: $29.08–$31.92 per hour (salary description: $28.45–$31.92 per hour)". But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep both sentences.
We must not include application deadline, application process, etc.
Now produce HTML with
headings for each section we include.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (Position Summary + maybe full-time collective bargaining note). Responsibilities (Essential Job Duties). Requirements (minimum requirements). Qualifications (bonus/desired). Skills (Knowledge, Skills, and Qualities). Benefits. Pay.
We could also include Work Environment and Physical Considerations as part of About the role or a separate section "Work Environment". Since we prefer few sections, maybe we can incorporate Work Environment and Physical Considerations into About the role or Responsibilities? But they are distinct. Could create a section "Work Environment" that includes both. That adds another section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having many sections is okay if each has substantive content. We have about 7 sections already; adding another makes 8. Might be okay. But we could merge Work Environment and Physical Considerations into a single "Work Environment" section. That seems reasonable.
Thus sections:
- About the role (Position Summary + full-time collective bargaining note)
- Responsibilities (Essential Job Duties)
- Requirements (minimum requirements)
- Qualifications (bonus/desired)
- Skills (Knowledge, Skills, and Qualities)
- Work Environment (Work Environment + Physical Considerations)
- Benefits
- Pay
That's 8 sections. Could be okay.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Animal Keeper" maybe but we won't.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll use for each heading, then
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info; ensure we don't lose any bullet points.
Let's craft.
About the role: include full-time subject to collective bargaining agreement and Position Summary paragraph.
We'll put:
