Also later sections: Technical Responsibilities, Project and Task Management, Management Responsibility, Communication Skills, Physical Requirements. We need to decide which sections to use: Responsibilities (list of duties). Could combine all duty-like statements under Responsibilities. But also there are sections like "Technical Responsibilities", "Project and Task Management", "Management Responsibility", "Communication Skills", "Physical Requirements". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those generic headings, not create custom headings like Technical Responsibilities. So we need to place relevant content under appropriate generic headings. Thus: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (essential duties, business development, etc.) - Requirements: experience required (16 years, etc.) and maybe education, certification. - Qualifications: maybe education, certifications? But we have Education and Certification/Licensure. Could put under Qualifications. - Skills: communication skills, technical skills, etc. - Benefits: benefits section. - Pay: mention sign-on bonus? Also maybe "May serve as the Project Manager for certain projects with prior approval from GAI's President up to $150,000 per year." That's a pay reference. Also "Competitive Pay & Recognition Market based, competitive compensation Performance driven recognition and development bonuses". So we have pay info. - Schedule: not mentioned; maybe physical requirements includes percentages of day but not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section if no specific schedule info. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Avoid empty sections. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like percentages, up to 50 lbs, etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "#GAI" at end maybe a hashtag; we can drop. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
