We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Company Description: we can include as maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" could be under "About the role" or maybe we can have a section "About the role" containing description of role and company? The instruction: use

We have: - Job Description: description of role, responsibilities. That's "Responsibilities" (list of duties). Also there is "What You Will Be Doing" bullet list. - Qualifications: list of qualifications. - Preferred Qualifications: could be under "Qualifications" or separate "Preferred Qualifications"? Not in list of headings but we could include under Qualifications. - Additional Information: includes Pay range, benefits description. - POSITION LOCATION: hybrid location info. - Also "Company Description" at top.

That's schedule/location. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". We have actual content for each. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, reasonable accommodations, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information: ensure we keep details like responsibilities bullet points, qualifications bullet points, benefits description, pay range, location/hybrid schedule. We must format using

  About the role

  Company description + role overview paragraphs.

  Responsibilities

  • ... each bullet

  Qualifications

  • ... required qualifications
  Maybe also include Preferred Qualifications as part of same list? Could separate but heading not in list. Could add another

  Preferred Qualifications but not in allowed headings list; but we could still include if we want? The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list. So we could add Preferred Qualifications as a heading if we want, but better to keep under Qualifications. We could include both required and preferred in same list, but maybe separate with a note. However we must not invent headings like "Preferred Qualifications" if not in the list? It's not prohibited; they gave examples but not exclusive. Safer to include under Qualifications with a note. We'll put required qualifications as list, then a paragraph "Preferred qualifications:" then another list. But we need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists. For Benefits: list. For Pay: maybe a paragraph with salary range and bonus info. For Schedule: paragraph. Let's craft. We must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Equal Employment Opportunity", "Reasonable Accommodations", "Important Notice: Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Job Postings". Remove those. Now produce final HTML. Check for any repeated content: ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's write.
