We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes "POSITION OBJECTIVE" then "Essential Functions", "Nonessential Functions", "CONTACTS", "Supervisory Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Required Skills", "WORKING CONDITIONS". Also salary range and benefits mentioned at top: "Case Western Reserve University is committed to providing a transparent estimate of the salary range... The salary range is between $40,375 and $50,864..." and "Employees receive more than just a paycheck. University employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that includes excellent healthcare, retirement plans, tuition assistance, paid time off, and a winter recess."
Thus we have Pay and Benefits sections. Also schedule? Not explicit schedule beyond "Some weekend and evening hours are required. This position is eligible for hybrid work arrangement up to two remote days per week". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide sections: Pay, Benefits, About the role (maybe POSITION OBJECTIVE), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Qualifications + Required Skills?), Skills maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create those headings if content exists.
We have Pay: salary range.
Benefits: list of benefits.
About the role: could be POSITION OBJECTIVE paragraph.
Responsibilities: Essential Functions (list with percentages). Could be a list.
Requirements: maybe Qualifications (Experience, Education). Could be list.
Skills: Required Skills list.
Schedule: Some weekend and evening hours required; hybrid work arrangement up to two remote days per week.
Also Supervisory Responsibilities maybe part of Responsibilities? Could be separate but we can include under Responsibilities.
Contacts maybe not needed as a section; but we could include under About the role? Probably not required; but we must preserve all substantive info. Contacts is substantive; we could include under a section like "Contacts" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings when appropriate; but we could also add other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those headings and embed contacts within About the role or Responsibilities? Might be okay to add a Contacts section as h3 if we think it's substantive. But instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we can incorporate contacts into About the role or Responsibilities.
We also have "Supervisory Responsibilities" which could be part of Responsibilities.
Thus sections: Pay, Benefits, About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All have content.
