We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. We have:
- About the role: The introductory paragraph about TJX and the opportunity. Could be "About the role". We'll include that.
- Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" section with bullet points.
- Requirements: The "What You'll Bring: Requirements" bullet list.
- Qualifications: Might be similar to requirements; but we can treat "What You'll Bring: Requirements" as Requirements; maybe also "Additional Attributes" could be Skills? Actually "Additional Attributes" are more like skills/competencies. Could put under Skills.
- Benefits: The benefits list.
- Pay: The salary range.
- Schedule: The hybrid position requiring minimum 2 days per week in Framingham, MA headquarters.
We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, legal, contact, address? Address maybe not needed; but location is part of schedule? Could include location in schedule or about role. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Address maybe minor metadata; we can include in a short p under About the role or schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No markdown fences. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
