We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about company and role description. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have responsibilities list, qualifications (education, experience, etc.), benefits (medical plan, STD, voluntary options, 401k), pay (range). No schedule info. Skills maybe part of qualifications; but we can combine. The instruction: Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could have sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities, Qualifications (including education, experience, skills), Benefits, Pay. No Schedule. Also maybe "Skills" not needed if covered. We'll not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. We need to include details: company intro paragraph maybe as About the role. The intro: "Sonny's Enterprises is the world's largest manufacturer ...". That's about company; we can put as About the role paragraph. Responsibilities: list all bullet points from "Responsibilities" section. Need to convert each line into
  • . Ensure we keep all responsibilities sentences. Qualifications: include Education and Formal Training, Experience bullet list, Materials and Equipment Used maybe as part of qualifications? Could be separate but we can include under Qualifications. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list qualifications as list. Benefits: list medical plan, STD, voluntary options, 401k matching. Pay: include the range. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include application instructions. We must not include EEO statement. We must not include navigation/legal etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
