We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, we have a lot of boilerplate: "1165972_RR00123325 Job ID: ..." we should drop Job ID. We have description about NYU Grossman School of Medicine: that's about the organization, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role summary. The posting includes "Position Summary" and then description of role. So we can put that under

About the role

with

containing the position summary and maybe the intro about the school? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph about the organization maybe as part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all responsibilities, qualifications, etc. We need sections: maybe About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits (benefits and wellness package), Pay (salary range), Schedule? Not mentioned schedule specifics, so we should not include Schedule section unless present. The posting does not mention schedule (like full-time, part-time). So omit Schedule. Skills: maybe we can include a Skills section if there is explicit skill list. The posting mentions "Light, accurate keyboarding skills required. Excellent organizational, interpersonal and communications skills required." Also "Background in computer literacy preferred." Could be considered skills. But we have a Qualifications section for minimum and preferred qualifications. Might combine. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits, Pay. That seems enough. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we have salary range: $79,093.35 - $79,093.35 Annually. That's a specific number (same min and max). So we can include Pay section with that. Benefits: we have description of benefits and wellness package. So include Benefits. Now we need to format responsibilities as

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences; we need to break into list items? The instruction: "Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose." So we need to identify lists. The responsibilities section includes many duties separated by commas and periods. We could treat each sentence as a list item. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can convert each duty into a

    • . However we must be careful not to lose nuance. The instruction says "any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The responsibilities are effectively a list; we can format as
      • each duty. That seems appropriate. Similarly for minimum qualifications: we can list as
        • . Preferred qualifications: also list. Benefits: we have a paragraph describing benefits; could be prose

          . But we could also list bullet points of the seven areas. The posting says: "holistic employee wellness program, which focuses on seven key areas of well-being: physical, mental, nutritional, sleep, social, financial, and preventive care." Also mentions financial security benefits, generous time-off program, employee resource groups. Could be list. But we can keep as prose

          if not explicit list. However instruction says use

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Benefits could be considered a list; we could bullet them. But we need to preserve all info; we can create a
              with items: financial security benefits, generous time-off program, employee resource groups, holistic employee wellness program (physical, mental, nutritional, sleep, social, financial, preventive care). That seems okay. Pay: we can put as

              with the salary range. Now we need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement and application instructions: "We require applications to be completed online. View Know Your Rights: Workplace discrimination is illegal." Also "NYU Grossman School of Medicine is an equal opportunity employer..." That's boilerplate; we should drop. Also drop lines like "For more information, go to med.nyu.edu, and interact with us on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, Facebook, X and Instagram." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered navigation? It's about contacting; but it's not a duty. Might be considered minor metadata; we could drop or fold into a short

              . The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

              or drop it." So we could drop it. Also drop duplicated lines: there may be duplicates like "Answers phones and screens incoming calls." appears twice? We need to check. In responsibilities there is "Answers phones and screens incoming calls." appears in two places: one under "Answers calls and takes messages." and later "Answers phones and screens incoming calls." Might be duplicate; we should deduplicate? The instruction: "remove duplicated lines". So we should ensure we don't repeat same duty. We'll need to parse responsibilities and eliminate duplicate sentences. Let's extract responsibilities section text: From the posting: "Job Responsibilities Schedules appointments for visits, treatments, and surgical procedures, Reviews appointment confirmation responses and manages waitlists, Communicates to patients on upcoming scheduled visits, including instructions, preparation, and forms, Obtains authorizations for services as needed, Answers calls and takes messages.
