We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay Band 3, Overtime Status, Appointment Type, Salary Information Base salary $42,500, Hiring incentives, Hours per week 40-hour work week; alternating shifts; primarily nights and weekends. So we have Pay and Schedule info. Benefits? Not explicit benefits listed besides maybe hiring incentives? Not explicit benefits like health insurance. So we should not create Benefits section unless there is real content. There's mention of hiring incentives but not benefits. Could treat hiring incentives as part of Pay? Might be considered compensation. Probably not a Benefits section. We'll include Pay and Schedule sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph about Public Safety Division). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Experience Required? Actually there is "Experience Required Qualifications" then "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" then "Employment Conditions" then "Physical Requirements" then "Preferred Qualifications". We need to map to sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide what goes where. We have: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph about Public Safety Division and role purpose. - Responsibilities: list of specific responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe "Experience Required" and "Employment Conditions" (must be high school graduate, age, citizenship, background checks, drug screen, psychological assessment, certifications within 180 days). Also Physical Requirements? Might be separate but could go under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications". Also "Demonstrated experience involving public contact." etc. Actually "Experience Required Qualifications" includes both experience and qualifications. Might split. - Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" list. We need to avoid duplication. Also we must not create sections with placeholder text. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "The Public Safety Division at Virginia Tech is comprised of the Police Department, Environmental Health & Safety, and the Office of Emergency Management and has a critical role in supporting the well-being of our community. We are essential in planning for and responding to emergency events, and in creating a culture of preparedness where employees and students are safe in their work and living environments."
