We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real specific content. Use
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to parse the posting.
First, job title is Mortgage Lending Officer (but we do not repeat as heading). We need to include About the role: likely the introductory paragraph(s) describing role.
Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities:" bullet points.
Requirements: maybe "Qualifications" includes experience, education, etc. The posting has "Qualifications:" then bullet list. Also "Education:" separate. Could combine under Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where.
We have content: description of role (first paragraph). Then responsibilities list. Then qualifications list (experience, etc). Then education. Then registration requirement. Then job family group etc (metadata). Then salary range (Pay). Then benefits description. Then skills sections (Most Relevant Skills, Other Relevant Skills) but they say see requirements above. So we may not need a Skills section if no specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The "Most Relevant Skills" says "Please see the requirements listed above." That's not specific content, so we should not create Skills section. Similarly "Other Relevant Skills" says see above. So skip Skills.
Pay: we have salary range: $120,000.00 - $120,000.00 (so a specific number). Also mention discretionary incentive etc. So we can include Pay section.
Benefits: we have description of benefits: medical, dental & vision coverage; 401(k); life, accident, disability insurance; wellness programs; paid time off packages. So we can include Benefits.
Schedule: we have Time Type: Full time. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule.
Requirements vs Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications:" list and also "Education:" separate. Could treat Qualifications as the list of experience, sales, product sales capability, FHA/VA & conventional loan experience preferred, ability to comprehend financial calculations, communication, knowledge of laws, customer service skills, self-motivated, relationship development, expertise of lending products. Education: Bachelor's/University degree or equivalent experience. Also registration requirement. So we could put all that under Qualifications. Requirements maybe could be empty; but we need to include a section only if there is real specific content. If we put everything under Qualifications, we might omit Requirements heading. But we could also split: Requirements could be the experience and education, while Qualifications could be skills? However the instruction says use those headings; we can decide to put experience/education under Requirements, and the specific skill-based qualifications under Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's examine: The posting says "Qualifications:" then bullet list of experience, sales, product sales capability, FHA/VA & conventional loan experience preferred, ability to comprehend and explain financial calculations, ability to communicate about documents, knowledge of laws, demonstrated customer service skills, self-motivated, strong relationship development, expertise of general lending products and overall mortgage industry. Then "Education: Bachelor's/University degree or equivalent experience". Then registration requirement.
Thus we could treat:
- Requirements: maybe the experience and education (5-8 years experience, 1+ year sales, etc, Bachelor's degree). But the bullet list includes many skill items; those could be Qualifications.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory experience and education; Qualifications for the preferred skills and knowledge.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine everything into Qualifications and skip Requirements. However we need to follow the headings list; we can omit Requirements if no specific content distinct from Qualifications. But we have content that could be considered Requirements (experience, education). So we could include Requirements with those items.
Let's decide:
Section About the role: introductory paragraphs describing role.
Responsibilities: the list after "Responsibilities:" (bullet points).
Requirements: experience (5-8 years residential mortgage, 1+ year sales/credit/finance, proven product sales capability) and education (Bachelor's/University degree or equivalent experience) and registration requirement (must register as mortgage loan originator with NMLS). Also maybe FHA/VA & conventional loan experience preferred? That's more qualification.
Qualifications: ability to comprehend financial calculations, communicate documents, knowledge of laws, customer service skills, self-motivated, relationship development, expertise of lending products, FHA/VA & conventional loan experience preferred.
Skills: we could skip because no specific content beyond what's in Qualifications.
Benefits: as described.
Pay: salary range and discretionary incentive.
Schedule: Full time.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, AI notice, etc.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract the About the role text: The first paragraph(s) before "Responsibilities:".
Original:

That's the About the role.
Now Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities:" until before "Qualifications:" (or before "> $50M or 150 units..."?). Actually after responsibilities there is a line: "> $50M or 150 units of annual production (not to be published publicly)" which seems like a performance target, maybe part of responsibilities? It's a bullet? It's not preceded by a bullet. It appears after responsibilities list and before Qualifications. It could be considered a responsibility or a performance expectation. We'll include it as a responsibility bullet.
Let's capture responsibilities bullet points:
- Consult with customers about their financial situation, financial and personal objectives and lending needs for the purpose of helping them achieve their home ownership goals.
