We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Career Summary, What You Will Do, What You Bring, What ANE Offers, Work Schedule, etc. Need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. We have: - Career Summary: could be "About the role" (or maybe "Career Summary" but we need to use allowed headings). Use "About the role" for summary. - Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" includes many bullet-like paragraphs; we can put under

Responsibilities

with
  • items. - Requirements/Qualifications: "What You Bring To The American Nurses Enterprise" includes Education, Related Work Experience, etc. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications? But we can combine under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Since we have both headings allowed, we could use "Qualifications" for education and experience, and "Skills" for skills list. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: Education, Work Experience, etc. That's qualifications. Then Skills list separate. Thus:

    About the role

    Career Summary paragraph(s).

    Responsibilities

    • ... each responsibility as list items.
    We need to preserve all substantive info; we can break responsibilities into multiple list items. Then

    Qualifications

    • Education: Bachelor’s degree in ...
    • Related Work Experience: At least 15 years ...
    • etc. Then

      Skills

      • Strategic leadership and business acumen
      • ... etc. Then

        Benefits

        What ANE Offers You ... includes benefits description.

        Then

        Schedule

        Work Schedule Employees are considered Remote ...

        We should not include Pay section because salary only says "Competitive salary commensurate with experience" which is placeholder; we must not include Pay if it's just that phrase. So omit Pay. We must not include sections like "About the role" if filler; we have real content. We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive info: need to include the mission/goals, core values, etc? Those are in Career Summary paragraph after "Join the American Nurses Enterprise (ANE) and help build a healthier world through The Power of Nurses™." That's part of About the role. We'll include that. We need to include location info? It's under Work Schedule? Actually location is separate after Work Schedule paragraph: "Location: ANE Headquarters office located at: 8403 Colesville Road, Suite 500, Silver Spring, MD 20906". That's substantive; we could include under Schedule or maybe a separate section like "Location". But only allowed headings are those listed; we could put location under Schedule or maybe under About the role. Since location is not Pay/Benefits/Schedule, but we could add to Schedule section as extra sentence. Or we could create a separate section not in allowed list? The instruction: Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should prefer those headings. It says "Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to fit location into one of those. Probably Schedule is appropriate as it includes work schedule and location. We'll add location sentence there. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove the Equal Opportunity Employer block. We must not include duplicated lines. Now craft HTML. We'll need to ensure we don't include markdown fences. Let's draft:
