We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Job Summary, Specific Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Minimum Competencies, Preferred Qualifications, Preferred Competencies, Benefits, Work-Life And Wellness, Professional Growth & Development. Also Salary/Grade and Target hiring range. So we need sections: About the role (maybe Job Summary), Responsibilities (Specific Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications + Minimum Competencies?), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications + Preferred Competencies?), Benefits, maybe Work-Life And Wellness and Professional Growth & Development could be part of Benefits or separate sections? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Specific Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications and Minimum Competencies), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications and Preferred Competencies), Benefits (Benefits, Work-Life And Wellness, Professional Growth & Development maybe combined). Pay: we have salary range $70,000 - $85,000. So include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodations, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information. So include salary range and note that offer determined by education etc. Should we include that sentence? Yes, it's substantive. So in Pay section we can include that sentence. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . For sections like Requirements we have both education/experience and competencies; we can list them as

      . Similarly Qualifications: preferred qualifications and competencies. Benefits: list items. Work-Life And Wellness and Professional Growth & Development could be included as subpoints under Benefits? But they are separate sections maybe. However instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine them into Benefits section as subpoints. But they are distinct topics; still could be under Benefits as list items. However they are not benefits per se but programs. Might be okay to include them as separate sections if they have content. But to keep few sections, we can include them under Benefits as list items. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Now craft HTML. About the role: use

      with Job Summary text. Responsibilities:

      • each bullet from Specific Responsibilities. Requirements: combine Minimum Qualifications (education/experience) and Minimum Competencies (skills). Could split into two sublists? But we can just list all items as
      • . Might be long but okay. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications and Preferred Competencies. Benefits: list benefits items from Benefits paragraph plus Work-Life And Wellness and Professional Growth & Development items. Pay: include salary range and note about determination. Make sure not to include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now extract text.

We need to exclude Department line? It's metadata but could be included in Pay section? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it. Department is minor metadata; we could include in a short p before Pay section or incorporate into Pay paragraph. Probably include in Pay section as part of text. Now construct HTML. We'll output:
