Respiratory Therapist I/II - $8K sign on

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Qualifications, Responsibilities. Also maybe "Navajo Preference Employment Act" is a note but not a section heading. We should not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Overview (could map to About the role). Qualifications (maybe Requirements). Responsibilities. No Benefits, Pay, Schedule mentioned. So we include About the role (Overview), Qualifications (maybe combine Education, Credentials, Experience, Other Skills), Responsibilities. Also maybe Skills? The posting includes "Other Skills And Abilities" list; could be placed under Skills section. But we can also include under Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities. Within Qualifications we can include subpoints but we must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to break down qualifications into lists. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from Overview, Qualifications (both I and II), Responsibilities (I). There's also mention of RESPIRATORY THERAPIST II qualifications. We need to include both? The posting includes both I and II. We should capture both sets. Could combine but need to preserve details. Might be lengthy but okay. We must remove boilerplate: Navajo Preference Employment Act text? It's substantive? It's about preference; maybe we should keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate; it's policy. Should we keep? It's part of job description. It's not cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. It's a preference policy. Likely we should keep it as part of About the role. However it's a bit long; but we must preserve all substantive information. So include that paragraph. We need to format with

  headings and

  for prose,

  • for lists. Let's extract: Navajo Preference Employment Act paragraph: "In accordance with Navajo Nation and federal law, TCRHCC has implemented an Affirmative Action Plan pursuant to the Navajo Preference in Employment Act. Pursuant to this Plan and corresponding TCRHCC Policy, applicants who meet the necessary qualifications for this position and (1) are enrolled members of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, or San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe will be given preference in hiring and employment for this position, (2) are legally married to enrolled members of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, or San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe and meet residency requirements will be given secondary preference, and (3) are enrolled members of other federally-recognized American Indian Tribes will be given tertiary preference." Overview: two position summaries for I and II (identical). We'll combine? Might duplicate. We'll keep one summary but note both levels? The text repeats same for I and II. We'll include once. Qualifications: For I (NEW GRADUATE) and II. We'll need to list both sets. Could separate with subheadings? But we only allowed headings from list; we could not add custom headings. Could embed both in same qualification section with notes. We must not invent headings like "Education". Use

    only for those specific headings. So we cannot add

    Education. We must use

    for prose and

    • for lists. So qualification details can be in paragraphs and lists. We need to preserve all details: Education, Credentials (license, certifications), Experience, Other Skills And Abilities, plus for II: Experience requirement of two years, etc. We'll create a qualification section with paragraphs describing each bullet. We'll need to be careful not to miss any detail. Let's draft:
