for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: location, onsite flexibility, contract details, pay rate, shift/schedule, work authorization, role overview, responsibilities, required skills, preferred skills, education requirements, about client, about GTT, benefits. We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (role overview), Responsibilities (key responsibilities), Requirements (maybe education requirements + work authorization?), Skills (required skills + preferred skills?), Benefits (benefits listed), Pay (pay rate), Schedule (shift/schedule). Also maybe Location? Not a specified heading but could be part of About the role or a short paragraph. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay, Schedule, Benefits. We must not repeat job title heading. Use
for each section heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to include - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like location Gaithersburg, MD, onsite flexibility, contract duration 3-4 months, pay rate $40-50/hr, shift schedule, work authorization, role overview text, responsibilities list (many bullet points), required skills list, preferred skills list, education requirements, about client paragraph, about GTT paragraph, benefits list (Medical, Vision, Dental Insurance Plans, 401k Retirement Fund). Also maybe mention Job Number? Could fold into short p or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. The posting has many repeated responsibilities (two sections). We should combine into one list without duplication. Ensure we include all unique responsibilities.

We could include location and contract details in a short paragraph under About the role or separate section like "Job Details". But we only have headings list; we could add a short
after the role overview that includes location, contract type, duration, work authorization. That's okay.
We must not create sections for Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does, so we include those sections.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual.

We could split into Required and Preferred but heading only Skills. Could include two sub-lists? Might be okay to have two under Skills: one for Required, one for Preferred with headings inside? But we cannot add extra headings besides . Could use
