We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Hiring Agency: Supreme Court - Agency 5
- Location: Blair, NE, Fremont, NE
- Hiring Rate: $20.608 (maybe hourly? but they also give Starting Salary: $42,863.87 annually (Hiring Rate). So we have pay info.
- Job Posting: JR2026-00028823 (should be dropped)
- Applications No Longer Accepted On: 10-23-2026 (date). This is metadata; could be folded into short p.
- Job Description: includes note about not sponsoring visas, then "The Judicial Branch Offers:" list of benefits (Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Paid Time Off & Leave, Professional Growth). That's benefits.
- Then "Job Description:" again with description of entry level position, training, duties.
- Then "Location and Office Coverage: ..." (location details)

- Benefits: Already covered earlier; also later "Benefits We offer a comprehensive package..." but that's generic; we already have benefits list.
- Equal Opportunity Statement: boilerplate to remove.
We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (job duties), Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to decide which sections have substantive content.
- About the role: Could be the initial description: "This entry level position involves job orientation and training under close supervision for a period of one year to afford the trainee an opportunity to gain experience and develop ability. Incumbents of this classification are trained in performing investigatory and supervisory responsibilities involving offenders, under direct supervision for an assigned district." That's substantive. So we can have About the role.

Incumbents of this classification are trained in performing investigatory and supervisory responsibilities involving offenders, under direct supervision for an assigned district." That's substantive. So we can have About the role.
- Responsibilities: The Job Duties section (list of duties). We'll put as - .
- Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications education and knowledge? Usually Requirements includes education, experience, etc. We'll have Requirements section for education and maybe knowledge? But we also have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we need to split.
We have:
Minimum Qualifications: Education: Bachelor’s degree in social services or criminal justice; consideration if degree within 120 days; accredited institution.
Knowledge: list of knowledge areas.
Skills: list of skills.
Physical Requirements: maybe part of Requirements? Could be included in Requirements or separate? Not a heading we have; we could include under Requirements.
Thus:
- Requirements: Education and Knowledge (maybe also Physical Requirements). We'll include education bullet points and knowledge bullet points.
- Qualifications: maybe we treat as same as Requirements? But we need both headings if content distinct. Could put Qualifications as the same as Requirements? Might be redundant. However we need to follow instruction: use headings for those sections if posting has real specific content. The posting has "Requirements / Qualifications:" heading that includes both. We could split: Requirements = Education and Knowledge; Qualifications = Skills? But Skills is separate heading. Actually they have Skills list separate. So we could assign:
Requirements: Education and Knowledge.
Qualifications: (maybe nothing else) but we could put Physical Requirements under Qualifications? Not ideal.
Better: Use Requirements for Education and Knowledge; Qualifications for Skills; and Skills heading maybe duplicate? But we have separate Skills heading. The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we need three sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to allocate content accordingly.
We have:
- Education (minimum qualifications) -> could go under Requirements.
- Knowledge list -> could go under Qualifications? Or Requirements.
- Skills list -> Skills section.
- Physical Requirements -> maybe under Requirements as well.
Thus:
Requirements: Education and Physical Requirements.
Qualifications: Knowledge list.
Skills: Skills list.
That seems plausible.
Now Benefits: we have detailed list under "The Judicial Branch Offers:" with subcategories: Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Paid Time Off & Leave, Professional Growth. We'll output as

Schedule: Work Schedule: Core hours Monday–Friday daytime. Some non-traditional hours may be required. Also Travel Expectations? Travel is separate but could be part of Schedule? The instruction says Schedule section for schedule info. We'll include work schedule and maybe travel expectations as part of Schedule? But Travel Expectations is separate; we could include under Schedule as bullet about travel. However we might create a separate section for Travel? Not in allowed headings. So we incorporate travel expectations into Schedule.
Also Location and Office Coverage: location details; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in headings list. Could fold into About the role as a paragraph.
We also have Hiring Agency and Location metadata; we can fold into short

We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa note, application instructions, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
