or drop it. So we can include a short p for location and maybe "No Relocation Assistance Offered". But we can drop that as minor metadata. Probably include a p with location and note about relocation assistance? The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a p with location and note about no relocation assistance. But we need to preserve all substantive information; location is substantive? It's location of job: Hodges, South Carolina, United States. That's substantive. So we should include that. Also "No Relocation Assistance Offered" is maybe minor but we can include in same p. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, inclusion, etc. Also remove "Our Commitment to Inclusion" and "Equal Opportunity Employer". Also remove "Work visa sponsorship is not available for this position." That's minor metadata; we can include in p or drop. Probably include in p. We need sections: About the role? The posting has "Who We Are" which is about company. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about company. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map sections accordingly. We have:
- Who We Are -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the job, but we have description of role after that. Could treat "Who We Are" as "About the company" but not in list. Maybe we can treat it as "About the role"? But better to follow the posting: we have a paragraph describing the company, then a paragraph describing the role. We could combine into a section "About the role" with that description. Or we could have "About the role" heading and include the description of role and company? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should create headings that match the content. We have:
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" bullet list.
- Requirements: "Required Qualifications"
- Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications" could be under Skills? But we can have separate sections: "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". The instruction says we can use those headings.
- Benefits: "Compensation And Benefits" includes salary range and benefits.
- Pay: maybe separate? But we can combine Pay and Benefits under one heading "Compensation And Benefits". The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we have salary range and benefits details, so we can have a section "Compensation And Benefits". Could also split into Pay and Benefits but we have both.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus we will output:
