for section headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the specifics: e.g., list of responsibilities exactly as given (maybe rephrase? Must preserve meaning but not invent. We can keep bullet points as given. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". We have actual content. Let's extract details. Position Overview paragraph: "We are seeking an exceptional Senior Technical Report Writer / Environmental Regulatory Specialist to support a client's environmental reporting department on a part-time and/or as-needed basis. The primary requirement is exceptional technical writing and technical report review/editing ability. The successful candidate must be able to take complex environmental data, field information, laboratory results, regulatory requirements, technical memoranda, tables, figures, and input from multiple technical professionals and integrate them into clear, concise, technically accurate, internally consistent, well-organized, regulator-ready reports. The position is particularly suited for an experienced environmental professional who can independently perform senior-level technical writing, report review, and QA/QC as project needs arise." We'll put that in

    under About the role. Key Responsibilities list (each bullet). We'll copy each bullet as

    Requirements

    Maybe combine Required Education & Experience, Required Regulatory Knowledge, Required For Consideration, Professional Registration. We could split into sub-sections but only allowed headings h3. Could have multiple h3 sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. We have: - Requirements: education, experience, regulatory knowledge, ability to provide examples, professional registration (maybe as qualification). - Qualifications: preferred background, ideal candidate. - Skills: maybe technical writing, report review, QA/QC, etc. But we already have responsibilities covering skills. Could put skills as separate but might be thin. Better to have:

    Requirements

    (education, experience, regulatory knowledge, professional registration, sample requirement)

    Qualifications

    (preferred background, ideal candidate)

    Skills

    maybe not needed; we could omit if thin. But we need to include all substantive info. If we omit Skills, we might lose some specifics like "exceptional technical writing and technical report review/editing ability" etc. Those are in overview and responsibilities. Could be covered. We could include Skills as a bullet list of key competencies: technical writing, report review, QA/QC, data integration, regulatory interpretation, mentoring. But that might be derived from responsibilities; we risk summarizing. Safer to not add a Skills section if not explicitly present. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; it's embedded. So we can omit Skills section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Check if we need Benefits: none. Now ensure we don't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. We need to be careful to preserve line breaks? Not needed. We'll output:
