We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting has a Summary, Qualifications, Duties, Benefits (VA offers...), Pay? It mentions "Competitive salary - regular salary increases - potential for performance awards" under VA offers... So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: "Work Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm". Also Telework unavailable, Virtual not a virtual position. So schedule section.
Benefits: list of PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real content. The posting includes Summary (could be About the role). Qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations). Duties (Responsibilities). Benefits (VA offers...). Pay (competitive salary...). Schedule (Work schedule...). Possibly Skills? Not explicit. Could omit.
