We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Company Description and Main Job Objective, Job Description sections. We need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have content: Company Description (WHO WE ARE) – could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical. But we have company description and main job objective. Could combine into "About the role" or "About Fresh". The instruction: use
Requirements for that. However the instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use Requirements heading for physical requirements. But we also have Qualifications heading for qualifications. That seems okay.
Thus sections: About the role (company description + main job objective), Responsibilities, Requirements (physical requirements), Qualifications (profile), Benefits, Pay.
We must not include empty sections.
Now we need to format lists: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have content: Company Description (WHO WE ARE) – could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical. But we have company description and main job objective. Could combine into "About the role" or "About Fresh". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content matches.
We have responsibilities list (JOB RESPONSIBILITIES) – that's a list.
We have Qualifications (PROFILE) – that's qualifications.
We have Benefits (WHAT WE OFFER YOU) – includes many bullet points.
We have Pay: The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $160,000 USD.
We have Schedule? Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section.
We have maybe "Skills" not explicit; but we could embed skills within Qualifications. Not needed separate.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement and confidentiality line; we should drop that.
Also drop "Physical Requirements:" maybe? It's substantive? It's about physical requirements; could be included maybe under a section? Not in list of headings; but we could include as a
under Qualifications? But it's not a heading we have. Could we create a section? Not in allowed headings list but we could still include as
without heading? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings; other info can be in
under appropriate sections. Physical Requirements could be placed under a
within Qualifications or maybe a separate section "Requirements"? But we have Requirements heading not used; we could use Requirements for physical requirements? However we already have Qualifications covering experience/education. Physical requirements could be separate but not in list; but we could still use
Requirements for that. However the instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use Requirements heading for physical requirements. But we also have Qualifications heading for qualifications. That seems okay.
Thus sections: About the role (company description + main job objective), Responsibilities, Requirements (physical requirements), Qualifications (profile), Benefits, Pay.
We must not include empty sections.
Now we need to format lists: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
Responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences. We'll make
- each.
Benefits: many bullet points; we'll make
- .
Requirements: physical requirements bullet? It's a paragraph with multiple sentences; could be
- each requirement? Might be okay to keep as
. But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Physical requirements is a list of requirements; we can make list.
Qualifications: list of items; we can make
- .
Now we need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract content.
