We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Key info: - Alternate Locations: Charlotte, NC; Omaha, NE; Work from Home Work Arrangement: Remote: Work at home employee residing outside of a commutable distance to an office location. Relocation assistance: is not available. - Requisition #: 76659 (metadata, not heading) - The Role at a Glance: description. - What You'll Be Doing: list of duties. - What We’re Looking For: Must-have and Nice-to-have. - Application Deadline: posted through Friday, October 9th, 2026. - What’s it like to work here? (company culture) maybe not needed. - What’s in it for you: list of benefits. - Pay range: $59,250 - $94,800 with anticipated pay for new hires between min and midpoint. - About The Company: description. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Application Deadline"? That's maybe considered metadata but could be included as a short paragraph? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short

for location, work arrangement, relocation assistance, maybe requisition # and deadline? But we should drop minor metadata? It says fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with location and work arrangement. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. We need sections: About the role (maybe from "The Role at a Glance"): we can put that under

About the role

with paragraph. Responsibilities: from "What You'll Be Doing": list of duties. Requirements: maybe combine Must-have and Nice-to-have? Could have Requirements (must-have) and Qualifications (nice-to-have) or Skills. But we need to decide. We have "What We’re Looking For" with Must-have and Nice-to-have. Could map Must-have to Requirements, Nice-to-have to Skills or Qualifications. We also have Benefits: from "What’s in it for you:" list. Pay: we have pay range. Schedule: maybe from Work Arrangement: Remote. Could be schedule? Not exactly schedule but work arrangement. Could include Schedule section if we have info: remote work arrangement. The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state Work Arrangement: Remote. So we can include Schedule section with remote work. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. Alternate Locations: Charlotte, NC (North Carolina); Omaha, NE (Nebraska); Work from Home Work Arrangement: Remote : Work at home employee residing outside of a commutable distance to an office location. Relocation assistance: is not available for this opportunity. We can combine: Locations: Charlotte, NC; Omaha, NE; Remote (work from home). Relocation assistance not available. We could put that in a short

under maybe a heading? Not a heading; just a paragraph before sections. Now sections: About the role: "We are excited to bring on a Short Term Disability Appeals Specialist to our team within Workplace Solutions.

Pay is based on non-discriminatory factors including but not limited to work experience, education, location, licensure requirements, proficiency and qualifications required for the role. The base pay is just one component of Lincoln’s total rewards package for employees. In addition, the role may be eligible for the Annual Incentive Program, which is discretionary and based on the performance of the company, business unit and individual. Other rewards may include long-term incentives, sales incentives and Lincoln’s standard benefits package. We need to include Pay section with that content. Schedule: Work Arrangement: Remote : Work at home employee residing outside of a commutable distance to an office location. So we can put schedule: Remote work arrangement. We could also include location info in schedule or a separate paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, fraud warnings, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline" maybe we can drop as minor metadata. But we could include as short paragraph? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with location, work arrangement, relocation assistance, requisition #, deadline? But better to drop minor metadata like requisition # and deadline. Keep location and work arrangement maybe as part of Schedule section? We'll include location in a short paragraph before sections. Let's craft HTML:

Locations: Charlotte, NC; Omaha, NE; Remote (work from home). Relocation assistance not available.

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Check for any duplicated lines: we must not duplicate. Now verify we haven't missed any substantive info: The "What’s it like to work here?" paragraph about Lincoln Financial culture maybe could be considered substantive but not under any heading; we could incorporate into About the role? But it's separate. The instruction: include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We could add a section "About the company" maybe but we have About The Company later. That is substantive. Should we include a section for About the company? The headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not About the company. But we could treat that as part of About the role? Might be okay to omit. However the instruction says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not exhaustive. We could add another heading like About the company if we want, but better to stick to given examples. The About The Company paragraph is substantive; we could incorporate into About the role? Might be redundant. But we could add a section "About the company" as a heading, but not in the list. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add extra headings. We could incorporate company info into About the role paragraph or maybe into Benefits? Better to add a short paragraph after About the role maybe as part of same section? But About the role currently is about the role; we could add a sentence about company. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can add it to About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph will include both role description and company overview.
