Also remove "Excited about this role but don’t think you meet every requirement listed? We encourage you to apply anyway..." etc. Also remove "ADM requires the successful completion of a background check". Also remove "Base pay offered may vary..."? Actually pay info is present: "The pay range for this position is expected to be between: $69,700.00 - $120,000.00". That's specific pay range, so we can include Pay section with that. Also "If hired, employees will be in an “at-will position” and the Company reserves the right to modify base pay..." That's boilerplate maybe but still part of pay? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about pay modification; but we can keep only the range. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine some.

Req/Job ID 113632BR Ref ID We need to strip boilerplate: EEO, diversity statement, "About ADM" maybe considered boilerplate? It's descriptive of company but maybe not required. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The diversity statement is EEO-like; we should remove it. Also "About ADM" maybe not required but could be considered company overview; not sure if it's boilerplate. It's not EEO but it's generic company description; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include a short paragraph about ADM as part of About the role. However the "About ADM" section is quite generic; could be considered boilerplate but it's about the company. The instruction didn't explicitly say to remove company overview, only EEO etc. I'd keep a brief summary maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with

then a paragraph summarizing the introductory text: "Are you ready to launch your career with a global leader that values innovation, collaboration, and growth?

A few highlights about ADM: ..." We can include the highlights but maybe keep them. Responsibilities: from Job Description paragraph. Requirements: from Job Requirements (list). Could be a
    . Qualifications: from Required Qualifications (list). Skills: maybe combine abilities like communication, documentation, organizational, coaching, etc. Could be a section. Benefits: from Benefits And Perks. Pay: from pay range. Schedule: from on-call rotation, occasional travel, maybe also mention ability to work in extreme temperatures, climb stairs, lift 40 lbs, confined spaces, heights, etc. That's more physical requirements; could be part of Requirements or Skills. But schedule section: on-call rotation for off-hours, holiday and weekend coverage; occasional company travel may be required. That's schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific content. Now produce HTML fragment. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Also remove the "Excited about this role..." paragraph and background check line etc. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine the intro and highlights. Responsibilities: bullet list? The description is a paragraph; we can keep as

    or break into

      if multiple sentences. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are not a list but could be turned into list items. Safer to use

        for prose. But we could also split into

          if we treat each sentence as duty. I'd use

          for responsibilities. Requirements: list of items from Job Requirements. We'll make

          • . Qualifications: list from Required Qualifications. Skills: maybe list of soft skills: communication, documentation, organizational, coaching, teamwork, self-starter, etc. Could be
