We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of Abbott, working at Abbott, The Opportunity, What You'll Work On, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits (some mentioned), Pay (base pay). Also schedule? Not mentioned. So we include sections: About the role (maybe combine description?), Responsibilities (What You'll Work On), Requirements (Required Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Skills?), Benefits (list benefits), Pay (base pay). Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not needed. We need to include only sections that have real content. Let's extract content: - About Abbott: first paragraph: "Abbott is a global healthcare leader that helps people live more fully at all stages of life. Our portfolio of life-changing technologies spans the spectrum of healthcare, with leading businesses and products in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic medicines. Our 122,000 colleagues serve people in more than 160 countries." - Working at Abbott: paragraph about work that matters, etc. Then bullet list of benefits: "Career development with an international company where you can grow the career you dream of. Employees can qualify for free medical coverage in our Health Investment Plan (HIP) PPO medical plan in the next calendar year. An excellent retirement savings plan with a high employer contribution Tuition reimbursement, the Freedom 2 Save student debt program, and FreeU education benefit - an affordable and convenient path to getting a bachelor’s degree.

A company that is recognized as one of the best big companies to work for as well as the best place to work for diversity, working mothers, female executives, and scientists." We could treat that as Benefits section. - The Opportunity: description of role: "Abbott Rapid and Molecular Diagnostics (RMDx) – Infectious Disease (ID) is seeking a dynamic, results oriented Sales Development Manager to drive new business acquisition in New England (CT/RI/MA/NH/ME).

We can turn each sentence into

  • . - Pay: "The base pay for this position is $68,000.00 – $136,000.00. In specific locations, the pay range may vary from the range posted." We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes. We should not include Schedule (not mentioned). No. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. The posting includes "Learn more about our health and wellness benefits..." and "Follow your career aspirations..." and "Abbott is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." and social media links. Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Thus final HTML fragment:

    About the role

Our portfolio of life-changing technologies spans the spectrum of healthcare, with leading businesses and products in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic medicines.

    Working at Abbott, you can do work that matters, grow, and learn, care for yourself and your family, be your true self, and live a full life.

    But we might combine "Working at Abbott" into Benefits? Actually we have a Benefits section separate. The "Working at Abbott" paragraph is more about culture; could be part of About the role or separate section like "About Abbott". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role for company overview and culture. Responsibilities for What You'll Work On. Requirements for Required Qualifications. Qualifications maybe for Preferred? Or Skills for Preferred? But we can also have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications under Requirements and Skills? The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Required Qualifications), Skills (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. We must not create empty sections. Thus:
