We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, qualifications, duties, benefits (VA offers...), work schedule, maybe pay? It mentions "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards" but no specific numbers. According to rules: do NOT create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits: VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: includes pay, PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, work schedule, telework, virtual, etc. So we can include Benefits section (since it lists benefits). Also Work Schedule is stated: Full-time - Monday- Friday - Days. Some weekends may be required. Telework: Ad-hoc. Virtual: not a virtual position. So we can include Schedule section. Pay: they mention "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards". That is substantive? It's not a specific number but it's stating pay details. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay info (competitive salary etc). So we can include Pay section. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's stating competitive salary etc. So we can include.
