We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Summary (EDRP info), Qualifications (detailed), Duties (clinical responsibilities, admin, case management, additional responsibilities), Work Schedule (Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm). Also mentions Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional (maybe benefits?). It says "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional Work Schedule: Monday - Friday - 8:00am - 4:30pm Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent". So we have schedule and maybe benefits? It mentions Total Rewards but not specifics. We should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only says "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional" but no detail. Likely we should not create Benefits section. Pay: not mentioned. So we can include sections: About the role (maybe summary?), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (requirements), Schedule (work schedule). Also maybe "Education Debt Reduction Program" could be part of About the role? The summary mentions EDRP eligibility. That's substantive. So we can put that under About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. That's a lot of detail in qualifications. We need to represent them accurately, maybe as paragraphs or lists. We need to decide structure: Could have

    About the role

    with paragraph about EDRP eligibility. Then

    Responsibilities

    with sub-sections? Could use
    • for each duty bullet. The duties are described in paragraphs with percentages. We could break into list items: Clinical Responsibilities (85% of time) ... then list subitems. Administrative responsibilities (5-10% of time) ... list. Case Management Responsibilities (up to 5% of time) ... list. Additional Responsibilities (2% of time) ... list. We need to preserve all details, not summarize away. So we need to include each bullet as given. Qualifications: Very long. We need to preserve all details. Could use
      • for each basic requirement, licensure, English language proficiency, grade determinations, etc. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include the text as is, maybe as paragraphs. However using lists may break the detail if we split incorrectly. Safer to use

        for prose blocks, but the instruction says: Use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list of items (like bullet points), we should use list. The qualifications section contains many enumerated items (Basic Requirements: United States Citizenship, Education (1)... etc). Those are effectively a list. So we can use
          • for each major bullet. Within each li we can have further detail as needed (maybe nested lists). That seems acceptable. We must not create sections like Pay, Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does not state pay or benefits specifics. So omit. Schedule: we have work schedule Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm. So

            Schedule

            with

            Monday - Friday - 8:00am - 4:30pm

            . We also might include a section for "Education Debt Reduction Program" maybe under About the role. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. The posting includes none besides maybe the YouTube link? There's a line: "VA Careers - Psychologist: https://youtube.com/embed/77qHlLw9Xck". That's likely a link; we should keep it? It's not boilerplate; it's a link to a video. Should we keep? It's substantive? It's a link to a video about the role. Probably we should keep as part of About the role? Could include as a

            with the link. But the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The YouTube link is not those; it's likely part of the posting. We'll keep. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
