We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Role Overview: description of role, responsibilities. - How Will You Drive Impact: sections: Team & Leadership Impact, Fan & Customer Impact, Innovation & Problem Solving, Ownership & Execution, AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY. - Required Qualifications: bullet list. - Nice To Have: bullet list. - Education: bullet. - Where You’ll Work And What’s Required: location, hybrid schedule, travel up to 10%. - Salary Range: $170,000 - $210,000 USD. - Benefits: mention "For information about our benefits, please visit https://benefitsatfanatics.com/". So we have a benefits link. Thus we have content for sections: - About the role: could be the Role Overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: could be the "How Will You Drive Impact" subsections (Team & Leadership Impact etc.) maybe combine. - Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Education? Or we could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, and Nice To Have as Qualifications? But spec: Use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping. We have content for: - About the role: Role Overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: The impact sections (Team & Leadership Impact, Fan & Customer Impact, Innovation & Problem Solving, Ownership & Execution, AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY). Could be bullet list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Education bullet list? Or maybe Nice To Have as Qualifications? But we already have Requirements; Qualifications could be Education + Nice To Have? However spec says we should not create thin sections; better to combine Education into Qualifications, and Nice To Have maybe as Skills? But Skills heading could contain technical skills: Python, Spark, etc. Actually Required Qualifications includes capabilities & experience: Python, SQL, Spark, time series forecasting, discrete optimization, simulation, feature engineering, communication skills. That's more like Skills. Nice To Have includes visualization tools, domain experience, mentoring. Thus we could map: - About the role: Role Overview. - Responsibilities: Impact sections. - Requirements: Required Qualifications (capabilities & experience). - Qualifications: Education. - Skills: Nice To Have? Or maybe Skills: technical skills from Required Qualifications? But we already used Required Qualifications for Requirements. Might be overlapping. Better: Use sections as they appear in posting: About the role (Role Overview), Responsibilities (How Will You Drive Impact subsections), Requirements (Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Education), Skills (Nice To Have), Benefits (benefits link), Pay (salary range), Schedule (location, hybrid, travel). Check if any section content is placeholder or vague: Benefits: we have a link; that's specific enough. Pay: salary range specific. Schedule: location, hybrid schedule, travel up to 10% - specific. Thus we will output:
