We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Summary: This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. Must meet specific individual eligibility requirements in accordance with VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment. Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) and eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after complete review of the EDRP application. - Qualifications: long text about education, internship, licensure, grade determinations, KSAs, etc. - Duties: includes a list of duties (starting with "Total Rewards: Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Duties include - but not limited to:" then bullet-like sentences separated by line breaks). Also includes "Work Schedule: Monday-Friday - 8:00am-4:30pm". Also includes "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not Authorized EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive Contact vhaedrpprogramsupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance Learn more Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases When setting pay - a higher step rate of the appropriate grade may be determined after consideration of higher or unique qualifications or special needs of the VA (Above Minimum Rate of the Grade) Paid Time Off: 37-50 days of annual paid time offer per year (13-26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year) Selected applicants may qualify for credit toward annual leave accrual - based on prior [work experience] or military service experience Parental Leave: After 12 months of employment - up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave in connection with the birth - adoption - or foster care placement of a child Child Care Subsidy: After 60 days of employment - full time employees with a total family income below $144 -000 may be eligible for a childcare subsidy up to 25% of total eligible childcare costs for eligible children up to the monthly maximum of $416.66 Retirement: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA Insurance: Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retire" We need to separate sections: maybe "About the role" (summary), "Qualifications", "Responsibilities" (duties), "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Also maybe "Skills" could be derived from KSAs but they are part of qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content for: - About the role: summary about EDRP eligibility, application timeline, award amount, eligibility period. - Qualifications: extensive details about education, internship, licensure, grade determinations, KSAs. - Responsibilities: duties list. - Benefits: includes Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance. - Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases, higher step rate etc. - Schedule: Work Schedule Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm. We also have mention of EDRP Authorized etc. Could be part of Benefits? But we already have Benefits. We need to avoid duplication and boilerplate. Remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. The posting includes some repeated lines? Not obvious. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from summary, qualifications, duties, benefits, pay, schedule. We must format using

    for each section heading. Inside sections, use

    for prose, and

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to decide what constitutes a list. For qualifications, there are many sub-items (education, internship, licensure, grade determinations, KSAs). Could be represented as a list. For duties, there is a list of duties (starting with "Provides a range of psycho-diagnostic services..." etc). For benefits, list of benefits (Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance). For pay, maybe just prose. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to avoid putting Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. None present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, maybe start with

      About the role

      then

      containing summary. Summary text: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. You must meet specific individual eligibility requirements in accordance with VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment. Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) and eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after complete review of the EDRP application." Note there is a weird spacing "$200 -000" maybe should be "$200,000"? But we must preserve as given. We'll keep exactly as in text: "$200 -000". Also "one to five years". Keep. Now Qualifications section:

      Qualifications

      . Inside we could have
      • for each major category: Education, Internship, Licensure, Grade Determinations (GS-11, GS-12, GS-13), Knowledge - Skills - and Abilities (KSAs). But we need to preserve all details; we can embed paragraphs inside each li if needed. Better: Use
        • for each bullet, and inside li we can have

          for prose. However spec says use

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

            for prose. It doesn't forbid having

            inside

          • . We'll do that. We'll need to capture the lengthy qualification text. Let's extract qualification text: "Qualifications Applicants pending the completion of educational or certification/licensure requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met.
