We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes description, essential duties and responsibilities (list), requirements (list), physical requirements (maybe part of requirements?), benefits (list). Also there is some boilerplate about equal opportunity etc which we should remove. Also there is a description paragraph at top: "Description Essential Duties and Responsibilities Operate machine effectively and safely according to standards to ensure a quality productReads and understands the job ticket, layout sheet, artwork, and other specifications before beginning assigned jobMake-ready and run all aspects of the saddle stitcher (pockets, gatherer, stitcher heads, in feed, trimmer, mail table and mail head, etc.)Fill in for other operators when neededAssist other operators with start-ups as possible when own line is downSupport material handlers during continuous and self-supported running (including mail-sacking, skid stacking, pocket filling, cover filling, etc.) and give work direction during downtime and clean-upResponsible for promoting, enforcing and sustaining Safety and look for ways to improve the operationResponsible for the ongoing training and development of other Finishing personnel and assisting Supervisors in documenting and improving procedures and processes by offering ideas and suggestionsCommunicate with Supervisors on any problems developing to help determine the best time to correct and prioritizeContinue learning new and improved processes to achieve increased productionPerforms routine and preventive maintenance on all assigned equipmentKeep ongoing list of maintenance issues to be addressed Ensures compliance with all applicable OSHA and EPA federal and state rules, regulations, policies and guidelines and Company safety rulesFacilitate teamwork on crews and between shifts" That's a run-on paragraph; we need to separate into prose and list. The instructions: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So we need to parse duties into list items. The description includes many duties separated by line breaks? In the raw text they are concatenated without punctuation. We need to split logically. Likely each sentence starts with a verb. Let's extract duties: - Operate machine effectively and safely according to standards to ensure a quality product - Reads and understands the job ticket, layout sheet, artwork, and other specifications before beginning assigned job - Make-ready and run all aspects of the saddle stitcher (pockets, gatherer, stitcher heads, in feed, trimmer, mail table and mail head, etc.) - Fill in for other operators when needed - Assist other operators with start-ups as possible when own line is down - Support material handlers during continuous and self-supported running (including mail-sacking, skid stacking, pocket filling, cover filling, etc.) and give work direction during downtime and clean-up - Responsible for promoting, enforcing and sustaining Safety and look for ways to improve the operation - Responsible for the ongoing training and development of other Finishing personnel and assisting Supervisors in documenting and improving procedures and processes by offering ideas and suggestions - Communicate with Supervisors on any problems developing to help determine the best time to correct and prioritize - Continue learning new and improved processes to achieve increased production - Performs routine and preventive maintenance on all assigned equipment - Keep ongoing list of maintenance issues to be addressed - Ensures compliance with all applicable OSHA and EPA federal and state rules, regulations, policies and guidelines and Company safety rules - Facilitate teamwork on crews and between shifts That seems comprehensive. Now Requirements: "Required Skills and Abilities" list: - High School Diploma or General Education Degree (GED) - 1 – 3+ years previous bindery experience - Previous experience operating a Mueller and Martini, Heidelberg, Osako saddle stitcher preferred - Experience on various bindery machines, such as a binder, cutter, folder, inserter, and poly wrapper is a bonus - Ability to meet quality expectations and productivity metrics - Must be able to read and understand a job ticket, layout sheet, artwork and other specifications - Effective communications skills with all levels within the organization - Ability to use basic math skills, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, measurements and critical thinking, to solve practical problems - Ability to interpret a variety of instructions furnished in written, oral, diagram, or schedule form - Must have the ability to work effectively in stressful situations and meet stringent deadlines - Be organized and able to plan, prioritize and follow through on projects assigned with minimal supervision - Has basic computer skills - Must be self-motivated, reliable, and quality, safety oriented Physical Requirements: list: - Requires use of proper body mechanics with pushing, pulling, reaching, lifting, squatting, kneeling, and bending - Pushing/pulling and lifting up to 50 lbs - Requires fine motor hand and arm movement, manual dexterity, and coordination - Requires near visual acuity - Requires working around and operating departmental equipment - Must be able to access and navigate each department in the facility - Requires the ability to function in a professional manner under stressful circumstances Benefits: list: - Medical - Dental - Vision - Life and AD&D Policies - Short and Long-Term Disability - 401K with Company Match - Paid Time Off - Paid Volunteer Time Off Also there is a paragraph about Mittera being leading-edge etc. That's descriptive prose about company; could be included as a

    maybe under a section? The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About the role" etc are section headings we can use. We have duties, requirements, physical requirements, benefits. Could also have a brief "About the role" paragraph summarizing? The description at top maybe could be considered as a short prose about role. But we already have duties list; we could put a short paragraph before list: maybe "Operate machine effectively and safely according to standards to ensure a quality product..." but that's already part of duties. The instruction: Use

    for prose. So we could have a

    containing the introductory sentence(s) before the list. However we already split that sentence as first duty. Might be okay to keep as duty. We need headings: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use

    Responsibilities

    for duties list.

    Requirements

    for skills/abilities. Could also have

    Physical Requirements

    but not in the list of examples; but we can still use heading? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but suggests those examples. Probably better to stick to those headings. Physical requirements could be part of Requirements. Benefits heading is allowed. Thus we can have:

    Responsibilities

      ...

    Requirements

      ...
    (including physical requirements maybe as sublist? but we can just include them in same list.)

    Benefits

      ...
    We should not repeat job title. No metadata. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. Check for any boilerplate: equal opportunity statement should be removed. Also the paragraph about Mittera being leading-edge company etc is maybe considered boilerplate? It's descriptive but not a duty/requirement/benefit. Could be considered "About the role" or company description. The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. This paragraph is specific content about company; we could put it under

    About the role

    as a

    . However the heading "About the role" is in examples. Might be appropriate. But we already have Responsibilities etc. Could add About the role paragraph before Responsibilities. Let's include:

    About the role

    Mittera is a leading-edge company that provides commercial and digital printing, finishing, graphic design, data analytics, direct mail processing, and fulfillment services. Mittera's full-service approach connects data-driven revelations, bar-raising creative, and expertly printed materials to give our customers' brand recognition it deserves.

    That is specific content. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "Competitive compensation and robust benefits plans are offered." That's vague; we should not include that as it's not specific. The benefits list is specific; we can include that. Thus final HTML:
