We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like FLSA Status, Earliest Start Date, Salary (if not specific), Hours per Week, Hiring Department, Required Application Materials, etc? The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also "Required Application Materials" is application instructions? Probably remove. Also "FLSA Status Non-Exempt Earliest Start Date Immediately Salary Salary commensurate with experience Hours per Week 40 hours weekly Hiring Department Office of General Counsel Required Application Materials ..." This is metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with some of that info? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a

that contains things like FLSA status, start date, hours, department, etc. But we must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Salary is "commensurate with experience" which is not specific, so we should NOT create a Pay section. Hours per Week 40 hours weekly is schedule info; but schedule is only to be included if posting actually states them. It does state Hours per Week 40 hours weekly. That's specific. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine schedule into a paragraph? But they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create a Schedule

with the hours. But we need to ensure we don't create Pay section because salary is not specific. Benefits: there is mention of retirement plan TRS etc. That's benefits info. So we can create Benefits

with that info. Also there is Working Conditions etc. Could be under Requirements? Might be separate? But we can include a Working Conditions maybe as part of Requirements? Not listed as standard heading but we could put under Requirements or Skills? Probably better to include a "Working Conditions" as part of Requirements? But they only gave examples; we can add other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are typical but not exclusive? It says use

for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings; we can omit others. So we need to map content to those headings. We have: - About Us (description of UT System) -> could be "About the role"? Actually About Us is about organization, not role. Could be "About the role"? But we have a "Purpose of Position" and "Essential Functions". Those correspond to Responsibilities. So we can have:

About the role

maybe containing Purpose of Position? Or we could have

Responsibilities

for Essential Functions. And

Qualifications

for Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.

Skills

for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities.

Benefits

for retirement plan etc.

Schedule

for Hours per Week 40 hours weekly. Also we might include

Pay

only if specific salary; not present, so omit. We also have FLSA status, earliest start date, hiring department, required application materials - we can fold into a short

maybe before sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, background check details? Background check is part of Additional Information; might be considered substantive? It's about hiring process; maybe we can include as part of Additional Information but not a standard heading. Could fold into a

under Additional Information? But we are told to remove application instructions; background check is not exactly application instruction but part of hiring process. Might keep as a short paragraph. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: "Provides advanced legal administrative support to The University of Texas System Office of General Counsel attorneys responsible for advising and representing UT System institutions and UT System Administration on matters involving the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) and related open government issues." etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment.

Candidates under final consideration will also be required to submit professional references, college degree information, and employment history to an online third-party vendor. We need to remove application instructions (the Required Application Materials). So we can drop that paragraph. We can fold minor metadata into a short

. Let's create a

that includes: FLSA Status Non-Exempt, Earliest Start Date Immediately, Hours per Week 40 hours weekly, Hiring Department Office of General Counsel. Salary is not specific, so we can omit or mention "Salary commensurate with experience" maybe as part of same paragraph but we should not create Pay section. It's okay to include in paragraph. Thus:

FLSA Status: Non-Exempt. Earliest start date: Immediately. Hours per week: 40 hours. Hiring Department: Office of General Counsel. Salary: commensurate with experience.

Now sections:

About the role

maybe we put Purpose of Position here.

Responsibilities

for Essential Functions (list).

Qualifications

for Required and Preferred Qualifications (maybe combine).

Skills

for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities.

Benefits

for retirement plan TRS etc.

Schedule

for Hours per week 40 hours (though we already included in metadata; but we could still include schedule section; but we might avoid duplication. Since we already put hours in metadata paragraph, we could omit schedule section to avoid thin sections. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we omit Schedule section and keep hours in metadata paragraph. Benefits section is substantive. We also have Working Conditions and Additional Information (background check). Could we incorporate those into Qualifications or Skills? Not really. Could we add a

Working Conditions

? Not in examples but maybe allowed. However instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those. We could fold Working Conditions into Qualifications or Skills? Not ideal. Could we add a
