2. **Analyze the Job Posting Text:**
Let me extract the meaningful content, structure it, and identify what to include/exclude.
**Posting text analysis:**

- "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10538007"
**Identify sections to include based on rules:**
- Headings: `
` for: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule
- Rules about including sections ONLY when there's real content:
- "About the role": The posting has a description paragraph. I can use this as "About the role" or similar. But rule says: "Do NOT repeat the job title as heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid "About the role" if there's content. The description is substantive. I'll consider using `About the role
` with the prose.
- "Responsibilities": Has "Key Job Responsibilities" with lots of content. Definitely include.
- "Requirements" vs "Qualifications": The posting has "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". I need to map these. Rules: use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. I should probably have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" or merge sensibly. Rule: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". Both qualifications sections have content. I'll use `Requirements
` and `Preferred Qualifications
` or map to "Qualifications". Let's see. The rule lists examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. I can pick and choose. I'll do "Requirements" for Basic Qualifications, and maybe "Preferred Qualifications" under Qualifications or separate. But rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." I'll combine Basic + Preferred under one or two headings, or keep them separate if substantive. Both are substantive. I'll use `Requirements
` and `Preferred Qualifications
` but careful: rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder. Both have content, so okay.
- "Skills": Not explicitly separate, but qualifications imply skills. I might not create a "Skills" section if there's no distinct "Skills" section in the posting. The posting doesn't have a "Skills" heading explicitly, but the qualifications describe skills. I'll skip "Skills" section unless I can map genuine content without filler. Better to omit.
- "Benefits": Has comprehensive benefits description. Rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits. So include `Benefits
`.
- "Pay": Has salary ranges per location. Rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay ranges. So include `Pay
`.
- "Schedule": Not mentioned. I should NOT create a Schedule section. Omit.
- "Job ID / requisition numbers": Fold into short `
` or drop. Rule: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll fold it into a `
` at the bottom or somewhere, but not as heading. The posting has "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10538007". I'll handle this.
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
- The EEO statement is present: "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate...". Rule says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So I should remove that entire block.
- "If you have a disability and need a workplace accommodation..." - this is part of the EEO/application instructions. Rule says remove application instructions and boilerplate. I'll remove this whole block.
- "If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed..." - remove.
- Duplicated lines, cookie/navigation - not present beyond what's in text, but the EEO stuff is there. I'll remove it.
- "Application instructions" - not explicitly separate, but the accommodation links are application-related. I'll remove them.
Let me re-read the removal rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So yes, remove the EEO statement, the accommodation link, the "contact Recruiting Partner" part.
What about "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10538007"? The rule says: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I can put it in a `
` at the end, maybe after Benefits or before, but not as a heading. I'll fold it into a `
` with the company name, or just drop the Job ID if it's minor. The rule says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll include company name in a `
`, and maybe omit Job ID, or include it briefly. I'll see. To be safe, I'll put "Amazon.com Services LLC" in a `
`, and drop the Job ID, or include it as "Job ID: A10538007" in a small `
`. The rule says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll fold it: `
Amazon.com Services LLC
` and maybe not include Job ID, or include it as "Requisition: A10538007" in parentheses in a ``. I think dropping it or minimal is fine. I'll just put the company name in a `
`.
Now, structure the HTML fragment.
Allowed headings:
