We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Who We Are", "How You’ll Make An Impact", "What You’ll Do", "What You’ll Need". We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes description of role (How You'll Make Impact, What You'll Do) which could map to Responsibilities. "What You'll Need" maps to Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. There's also Pay info: salary range $106,600 to $190,000. Also mention discretionary short-term and long-term incentives. So we can include Pay section. Benefits? Not mentioned explicitly. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits or Schedule unless present. Also we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID etc. Also we need to remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also we need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide headings: Use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes description of role (How You'll Make Impact, What You'll Do) which could map to Responsibilities. "What You'll Need" maps to Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. There's also Pay info: salary range $106,600 to $190,000. Also mention discretionary short-term and long-term incentives. So we can include Pay section. Benefits? Not mentioned explicitly. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits or Schedule unless present. Also we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID etc. Also we need to remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also we need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide headings: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate ones: "Responsibilities" for What You'll Do and How You'll Make Impact maybe combined. "Requirements" for What You'll Need. "Pay" for salary range. Possibly also "Qualifications" but we can combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have three sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from the posting.
We need to format responsibilities as list items? The responsibilities are many bullet-like sentences. We can turn each sentence into
- . Similarly requirements as list.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
Who We Are: descriptive about company. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is not present; but we could include a section "About the Company" maybe not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should stick to those. The "Who We Are" is company overview, not strictly about the role but could be considered "About the role"? Might be okay to include as a
under a heading like "About the role"? But the instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings. It didn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings where appropriate. The "Who We Are" could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could include a short paragraph under "About the role" summarizing the company description. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can preserve the content as prose under that heading. That seems acceptable.
