We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where there is real content. The posting includes: Summary, Ministry Functions (with subcategories: Spiritual Development, Leadership Development, Resource Development, Direct Ministry, Ministry Support), Training Core Training, Education, Qualifications Required For The Job, Work Conditions, Job Specific Working Conditions (pay range). Also there is internal note about Young Life staff not applying, statement of faith, etc. Those are boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The statement about internal staff not applying, statement of faith, etc. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about eligibility, but it's specific to Young Life. The instruction says remove legal/EEO etc. The statement of faith is likely part of job requirements? It says Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith. That is a requirement. Should we keep? It's substantive. However the instruction says remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The statement of faith is not boilerplate; it's a specific requirement. So we should include it maybe under Qualifications or a separate section? The posting includes a paragraph about Statement of Faith before the summary. We'll keep that as part of Qualifications or a separate "Requirements" section. We need headings: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings. The posting doesn't have explicit headings; we need to infer. We have: - Summary: "YL Staff Associate II Summary Through both formal training and direct field ministry experience, learn how to effectively carry out and manage Young Life ministry, while holding some of the area responsibilities." That's a summary; could be under "About the role" or "Summary". The instruction list includes "About the role" as example heading. We'll use

About the role

and put that summary paragraph. - Ministry Functions: detailed bullet-like paragraphs under Spiritual Development, Leadership Development, Resource Development, Direct Ministry, Ministry Support. These are responsibilities/duties. So we can have

Responsibilities

with subheadings? Not required but we can keep paragraphs. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The content is paragraph style; we could break into list items for each bullet. Might be better to create
      with each major area as
    • containing subpoints? But the instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into list items. We'll create a
          with each major area as
        • and inside maybe further detail as

          or nested

            ? Simpler: each major area as
          • with its description as text. - Training Core Training: could be under "Training" or "Qualifications". We'll make a section

            Training

            with paragraph. - Education: "College degree preferred." Could be under "Qualifications" or "Education". We'll make

            Education

            . - Qualifications Required For The Job: list of qualifications: Experience in direct ministry. Proven relational skills with both kids and adults. Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills. Ability to maintain confidentiality. Also statement of faith requirement. We'll put under

            Qualifications

            with
            • . - Work Conditions: includes extremes of camp etc. Could be under "Work Conditions" but not in heading list; we could put under "Responsibilities" or separate

              Work Conditions

              but not in list. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate work conditions into Responsibilities or Qualifications? It's about working conditions, maybe we can put under a

              Work Conditions

              but not in the given examples; but we can still use

              Work Conditions

              as a heading; the instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings or others? It says e.g., implying those are examples; we can use other headings but better to stick to those. Work Conditions could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications. I'd include it under Responsibilities as a bullet. - Job Specific Working Conditions: pay range $40,000-$60,000. That's Pay. So we need a

              Pay

              with that info. - Benefits: not mentioned, so omit. - Schedule: not mentioned, omit. - Skills: not explicitly listed; we have proven relational skills, communication skills, etc. Those are qualifications. Could be under Skills but we already have Qualifications. We'll keep Qualifications. - Requirements: maybe same as Qualifications. We'll use Qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like "If you are currently on Young Life staff, please do not apply through this external jobs board..." That's application instructions; remove. Also remove statement about Statement of Faith? It's a requirement; we keep. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the statement of faith paragraph? It's long. We'll include it as part of Qualifications maybe as a

              before list. Let's extract substantive content: Statement of Faith paragraph: "Young Life requires all employees to sign a Statement of Faith. We recommend you read this statement before applying for any position. Because of Young Life’s exclusive Christian purposes of evangelism and discipleship as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and in these Bylaws, and to reflect what has always been and will continue to be the position of Young Life, specifically the Christian belief that each and every employee and volunteer of the corporation should minister as a servant of God with the primary responsibility of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and, as such, is an integral part of the Christian mission and ministry of the corporation, Young Life shall only employ individuals or enlist volunteer leaders who: (a) profess a belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord; and (b) subscribe to the statements and policies required of all Young Life staff, including the Young Life Statement of Faith.
