We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay. No schedule specifics beyond occasional work after hours and travel 15-20% (that's schedule? It's about travel and occasional after hours; could be considered schedule but not explicit schedule like shift times. Probably we can include Schedule if we have info: occasional work after normal business hours or over weekends, travel 15%-20%. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Also remove "We’d Love To Hear From You" maybe not needed? It's a call to action; we can drop as application instructions. Also remove "This position is located in Charlotte, NC." That's location info; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? Not sure. It's substantive but not a heading. Could be placed in a paragraph under About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to capture responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits list, pay range, schedule info. We must use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills maybe combine? The instruction says use headings for those specific headings if content exists. We have qualifications: Bachelors degree or equivalent work experience, written communications, 3 years experience in customer service in manufacturing, experience managing inventory, analyzing product pricing, familiarity with converted products, ability to multi-task, occasional work after hours, travel 15-20% (that's schedule). Also skills: maybe multi-task, follow-up. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one section? But better to separate if we have distinct content. However we risk thin sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine Requirements, Qualifications, Skills into one section called "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we need to follow headings list: we can use any of those headings if we have content. If we combine, we need to choose one heading. Perhaps "Qualifications" covers education, experience, skills. Then we can have a separate "Responsibilities". Then "Benefits". Then "Pay". Then "Schedule". That seems reasonable. We need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract: About the role: The introductory paragraph: "From a small family business to a multi-billion-dollar global company, Sonoco has been changing the face of products and packaging since 1899 — all while keeping the heart of “People Build Businesses” alive. Our talented people are at the core of our growth, constantly reinventing the Sonoco wheel with brilliant solutions every year. Today we are a world leader in global packaging solutions with diversified operations in over 34 countries. We're extremely proud of our portfolio of brands, our achievements in sustainability and industrialization and the groundbreaking work accomplished by our people.

Actively engages in growing sales, creating Customer value through daily execution of quotes, manufacturing specifications, sales management and on-time delivery." That's substantive. We'll put that in
