HybridFull-time
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 only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting: - Who We Are: description of firm. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about firm, not role. Could be "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections like About the role (maybe summarizing role overview), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe experience), Qualifications (education/license), Skills (interpersonal etc), Benefits (benefits described), Pay (salary range info), Schedule (maybe not present). We must only include sections if posting has real specific content. Let's see content: Overview: "We are seeking an attorney to join the Real Estate Department in our Mankato, Madison, or Minneapolis offices. The ideal candidate will have over five years of wide-ranging transactional real estate experience, with significant experience performing core real estate transactional tasks. In particular, we are looking for candidates with deep experience negotiating and drafting complex commercial leases for both landlords and tenants. An ideal candidate will also have experience negotiating and drafting purchase and sale agreements and related ancillary documents for both sellers and buyers in commercial real estate transactions; managing real estate due diligence for sale and purchase and financing transactions and for corporate transactions involving real estate; representing developers in negotiating and drafting various agreements for real estate developments; representing borrowers in mortgage loan transactions; and managing the closing of real estate sale and purchase and financing transactions. This role offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated, high-impact real estate transactions, develop trusted client relationships, collaborate closely with M&A and corporate and finance colleagues, and grow your career within a thriving practice." That's responsibilities/duties. Then "Our Ideal Candidates Will Have" bullet list: 5+ years of transactional real estate experience, with a demonstrated ability to independently handle core real estate transactional tasks; Significant experience with negotiating and drafting complex commercial leases; Excellent interpersonal, analytical, and writing skills; Strong academic background; J.D. from an ABA-Accredited Law School; Active attorney license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and ability to promptly get admitted in the state of Minnesota. That's qualifications/requirements/skills. Then "Our Benefits" paragraph describing benefits. Then "The salary range for this position varies by geographical market. The compensation offered will be dependent on the candidate’s experience, skills, education, professional background, overall qualifications, and geographic market location." That's pay info but vague; we should not include Pay section if content is just "varies" or "dependent on...". The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they say varies by geographical market, dependent on experience etc. That's essentially not a specific number or range. So we should NOT include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned. Benefits: they have specific benefits listed: medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, short-and long-term disability, employee resource benefits (inclusive of counseling, coaching, and care-giving guidance), paid-parental leave, parenting classes, pre-tax parking and transportation options, and much more! Retirement plan includes financial planning, Social Security/Medicare planning, 401k/Roth investment options, and a firm-paid profit-sharing contribution. Benefits are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms and conditions. That's specific enough to include Benefits section. Now we need sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe experience), Qualifications (education/license), Skills (interpersonal etc), Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for job title. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We need to avoid boilerplate: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must cut out the "Applying For This Position" paragraph, the "About Fredrikson" duplicate, the EEO statement, etc. We must keep substantive info: Who We Are (firm description) maybe part of About the role? Actually "Who We Are" is about firm, could be part of About the role? But we have "About the role" heading; we could put firm overview there. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can put the firm description under About the role. But we also have "Overview" which is about the role. Could combine. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract substantive paragraphs: - Who We Are: Fredrikson & Byron is the premier Midwest-based law firm working collaboratively to help businesses achieve their goals regionally, nationally, and globally. - Overview: We are seeking an attorney to join the Real Estate Department in our Mankato, Madison, or Minneapolis offices. The ideal candidate will have over five years of wide-ranging transactional real estate experience, with significant experience performing core real estate transactional tasks. In particular, we are looking for candidates with deep experience negotiating and drafting complex commercial leases for both landlords and tenants. An ideal candidate will also have experience negotiating and drafting purchase and sale agreements and related ancillary documents for both sellers and buyers in commercial real estate transactions; managing real estate due diligence for sale and purchase and financing transactions and for corporate transactions involving real estate; representing developers in negotiating and drafting various agreements for real estate developments; representing borrowers in mortgage loan transactions; and managing the closing of real estate sale and purchase and financing transactions. This role offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated, high-impact real estate transactions, develop trusted client relationships, collaborate closely with M&A and corporate and finance colleagues, and grow your career within a thriving practice. - Our Ideal Candidates Will Have: bullet list (5+ years experience, ability to independently handle core tasks; Significant experience with negotiating and drafting complex commercial leases; Excellent interpersonal, analytical, and writing skills; Strong academic background; J.D. from an ABA-Accredited Law School; Active attorney license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and ability to promptly get admitted in the state of Minnesota). - Our Benefits: paragraph describing benefits. We should not include the "Applying For This Position", "About Fredrikson" duplicate, EEO statement. Now we need to decide sections: About the role: Could combine Who We Are and Overview? But maybe better: About the role: Overview (role description). Who We Are could be considered "About the firm" but not a heading we have. Since we only have allowed headings, we could put firm description under About the role as well. Or we could create a section "About the role" containing the overview of the role and maybe firm description. That seems fine. Responsibilities: list of duties from overview (negotiating leases, drafting agreements, managing due diligence, representing developers, representing borrowers, managing closing, etc). Could be a list. Requirements: maybe the experience requirement (5+ years, ability to independently handle core tasks). Could be separate. Qualifications: education/license (J.D., ABA-accredited, active license, ability to get admitted in MN). Skills: interpersonal, analytical, writing skills; strong academic background maybe also skill? But we already used strong academic background in qualifications. Could keep. Benefits: list of benefits. We must not create Pay or Schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:

    We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "much more!" phrase is vague; we can omit as it's filler. The retirement plan details we captured. Also we omitted "Benefits are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms and conditions." That's a generic statement; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not boilerplate but it's a condition. Might be considered minor metadata; we could include as a paragraph. But the instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. This is minor metadata about benefits eligibility; we could include a short p after the list. However we already have a list; we could add a

    after the list:

    Benefits are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms and conditions.

    That's acceptable. Also we missed "Our comprehensive benefits options include
