for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them.
We need to extract substantive content: Introduction, Position Highlights, Job Duties, About Us, Selection Plan (but that's application instructions, we should remove). Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Purpose of Job Class, Examples of Duties, Knowledge, Skill and Ability, etc. Also there is mention of schedule: "This is a full-time, 40 hour per week position. Schedule is Monday-Friday on first shift, with hybrid work opportunities available." That's schedule info, so we can include a Schedule section.
Pay: Not mentioned; no salary. So we should NOT create Pay section.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly; maybe not. So no Benefits section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Introduction/Position Highlights/About Us?), Responsibilities (Job Duties), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (Knowledge, Skill and Ability). Could also have a separate "Qualifications" for Minimum and Preferred? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Possibly also "About Us" could be part of About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not include heading like "Research Analyst". We'll just output sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from the posting.
