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 if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content. Job title: Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year. This is a one-on-one position. Also FLSA status Non-Exempt. But we should not repeat job title as heading; we can include metadata in a short

. We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Qualifications Documentation...), Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities), Benefits (Benefits/Compensation), Pay (Salary range), Schedule (6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year). Also maybe other sections like Other Requirements? Could be part of Requirements. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay: Salary range: New employees will start at the minimum hourly rate... Salary schedules can be accessed here. That's specific enough. So include Pay section. Schedule: 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year. That's specific. Include Schedule. Benefits: described. Include Benefits. Qualifications: includes documentation verifying high school diploma or GED AND one of the following... Also one year of related experience preferred, etc. That's qualifications. Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities section. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about position, one-on-one, FLSA status, etc. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits we need lists. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some boilerplate like "We appreciate your interest..." etc. That's not boilerplate? It's generic but maybe considered application instructions? It says "All applications are considered and reviewed..." etc. That's part of hiring process; maybe we should remove as it's application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove paragraphs about application process, reference checks, background check, résumés should include..., internal applicants must have official transcripts..., etc. Also "All district employees are encouraged to review their personnel file..." etc. That's also boilerplate. So we should exclude those. We need to keep substantive content: job description, qualifications, skills, essential functions, benefits, pay, schedule.
