We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: Who We Are, What You’ll Do, What You’ll Bring, What You Can Look Forward To, Physical & Work Environment Requirements. Also we have Expected Pay Range, Bonus, Benefits Eligible, Benefits Available, Shift Differential. According to rules: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings where appropriate. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statements, disclaimer about AI, etc. Also remove the "Physical & Work Environment Requirements" maybe we keep as a section? The allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay (Expected Pay Range, Bonus). Benefits (Benefits Eligible, Benefits Available, Shift Differential). Also we have "What You’ll Do" (Responsibilities). "What You’ll Bring" (Qualifications/Requirements/Skills). "Who We Are" maybe About the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings where appropriate. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.

Also we have "What You’ll Do" (Responsibilities). "What You’ll Bring" (Qualifications/Requirements/Skills). "Who We Are" maybe About the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings as appropriate. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content. So we will include:
- About the role (maybe "Who We Are" and overview). Could combine "Who We Are" and maybe a brief intro. We'll put About the role
then
About the role
thenwith description of company and mission. - Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then- for each bullet from "What You’ll Do".
- Qualifications: maybe combine "What You’ll Bring" and "Physical & Work Environment Requirements"? But Physical & Work Environment Requirements could be under Requirements or maybe separate? The allowed headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could use
Qualifications
for education/experience, andSkills
for facilitation etc. Or we could just have one Qualifications section covering all. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. - Benefits:Benefits
then list medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid holidays, vacation, tuition assistance, 401(k) with match, plus note about Benefits Eligible: Yes, Benefits Available: 2026-benefits-summary.pdf, Shift Differential: Yes. Could include those as list items. - Pay:Pay
then list Expected Pay Range: $125,000 - $150,000, Bonus: supplemental compensation etc. We should not include Schedule section because no schedule info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, AI statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Physical & Work Environment Requirements" maybe we can incorporate some physical requirements into Qualifications or a separate section? But we have no specific heading for physical requirements; we could include them under Qualifications as a list item. However the instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we could have aRequirements
that includes physical & work environment requirements plus maybe education/experience. But we already have Qualifications for education/experience. Might be better to have Requirements for physical & work environment, and Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for facilitation etc. But we prefer few sections. Let's think: The posting has distinct sections: Who We Are (About the role), What You’ll Do (Responsibilities), What You’ll Bring (Qualifications + Skills + Experience), What You Can Look Forward To (Benefits), Physical & Work Environment Requirements (maybe Requirements), Pay and Benefits details. We could make sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. And maybe include physical requirements inside Qualifications as a list item. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to preserve all substantive information. If we combine, we must still include all details. Let's extract details: Who We Are: "At Van Drunen Farms, we’re not just providing ingredients; we’re providing people with purpose and possibility.
