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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep all substantive info. We need to parse the posting.

Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a encouragement. Might keep as part of About the role? Probably we can include a short paragraph about encouraging veterans. But the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This is not exactly EEO but a encouragement. Might keep as part of About the role? Not sure. Safer to keep as part of About the role? It's not a legal boilerplate. Could include. - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties. - Required Skills and Experience: list. - Professional Certifications: None required, but ITIL Foundation, CMII, or equivalent CM certifications are a plus - Years of Professional Experience: n/a (maybe not needed) - Desired experience: EDI X.12 etc, HL7, FHIR - Formal Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical discipline and 10+ years’ relevant experience; eight (8) or more years of relevant experience may be substituted for education - Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizenship required - Security Clearance Requirements: Must possess or qualify for a Public Trust (MBI) - CRITICAL NOTES: SSG will not make assumptions regarding your qualifications... etc. Also note: Recruiters or Third parties will not be considered.

(EEO boilerplate) remove. - Powered by JazzHR MV89cjptVn (remove) We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about location, remote, department, type, salary range, security clearance, citizenship requirement, state restrictions, W-2, interview details, LinkedIn profile request, background investigation, etc. We need to decide sections. Possible sections: - About the role: could include brief overview: Syms Strategic Group seeking Senior Configuration Analyst - II, remote, VA department, full-time, etc. - Responsibilities: list of essential duties. - Requirements: could include required skills and experience, certifications, education, citizenship, security clearance, state restrictions, etc. - Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including skills, experience, education, certifications), Qualifications (maybe education/experience), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see what we have: - Pay: Salary Range given: $74,325 - $82,500. So we can have Pay section. - Schedule: Not explicitly given besides Full Time. Could we consider Schedule as Full Time? The posting says Type: Full Time. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with Full Time. - Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits details. So we should NOT create Benefits section. - About the role: we can include overview. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements: could include required skills and experience, certifications, education, citizenship, security clearance, state restrictions, etc. - Qualifications: maybe we could separate education/experience vs required skills? But we might combine into Requirements to avoid thin sections. However we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes skills, experience, education, certifications, citizenship, clearance, state restrictions, etc), Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Already not. We need to use

for section headings. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details. About the role prose: "Syms Strategic Group (SSG) is seeking a talented Senior Configuration Analyst - II. Location: Remote. Department: Veterans Affairs (VA). Type: Full Time. Min. Experience: Experienced. Security Clearance Level: Public Trust (MBI). Salary Range: $74,325 - $82,500. Military Veterans are highly encouraged to apply! If you have previously applied to Syms Strategic Group (SSG), there is no need to reapply. Applications are still under review." We could incorporate that. But we need to avoid duplication: Salary will be in Pay section, so maybe not repeat in About the role. But we can keep brief overview without salary. Better: About the role: brief description of role and company. Responsibilities: list of essential duties. Requirements: list of required skills and experience, certifications, education, citizenship, security clearance, state restrictions, etc. Pay: salary range. Schedule: Full Time.
