We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have content: "About Oregon Humane" is description of organization. Could be considered "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content about organization, team, position description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, work environment, physical requirements, etc. We need to map to headings. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. There's EEO statement at end; we should remove that. Also Diversity, Equity & Inclusion maybe considered boilerplate? It's substantive? Might be considered part of culture but could be kept? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is similar to EEO; might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove that section. Also "At-Will Employment" is legal boilerplate; remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide sections: - About the organization (maybe "About the role"? but we have "About Oregon Humane". Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Could use "About the Organization" but not in list. The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. So we should map content to those headings. Thus we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay (if present), Schedule (if present). We have no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We have "Eligible Benefits" list: Medical/Dental/Vision, Paid Time Off + Sick Time + Holidays, 401(k) with employer match, Professional Development Opportunities, One free Oregon Humane adoption / year, Perks & Discounts. That's benefits. We have "Essential Responsibilities" with subcategories: PERSONAL LEADERSHIP, LEARNING, INFLUENCE & REPRESENTATION, Primary Responsibilities, SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITY. Those are responsibilities. We have "Qualifications" section: Minimum Qualification & Transferable Skills includes bullet-like list. We have "Skills" maybe separate? Could embed within Qualifications. We have "About the role": could be the introductory paragraphs about Oregon Humane and The Team, The Position. Thus we will produce:

    About the role

    About Oregon Humane ... The Team ... The Position ...

    Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each responsibility item as
    • maybe grouping? We could break into sub-items but still
    • . Could also nest? Not required. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break long paragraphs into multiple
    • items for each bullet. We have many responsibilities; we can list them as separate
    • . Similarly for Qualifications. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections. We must not include empty sections. Let's extract content. First, About Oregon Humane paragraph: "About Oregon Humane Founded in 1868, Oregon Humane is the Northwest's oldest and largest animal welfare organization with one of the highest adoption rates in the nation. We are working toward our vision of a world where all animals are treated with compassion, kindness and respect. With campuses in Portland and Salem, Oregon Humane is an Oregon-based nonprofit that relies on donor support for its adoption, education, medical and humane law enforcement programs. Visit oregonhumane.org to learn more about how we’re creating an ecosystem where all of us – animals and humans – feel safe, valued and part of something bigger." Then "The Team The Veterinarian works collaboratively with the medical and operations leadership team to ensure the hospital’s overall performance in accordance with all the medical standards set forth by our executive leadership and in compliance with the OVMEB veterinary practice act." Then "The Position The veterinarian is responsible for providing day-to-day delivery of exceptional diagnostic, treatment and surgical services to animals served by Oregon Humane. As a state licensed DVM, the veterinarian is also a primary care giver and must deliver exceptional services in accordance with Oregon Humane and state standards. Medical cases are both outpatient and inpatient with the majority being canine and feline patients and a small percentage being exotics (small mammals and birds) or other species. Additional responsibilities include providing clinical leadership to veterinary staff and student interns, as well as providing expert consultation to medical support staff regarding complex medical cases and decisions." We can combine into a paragraph.

SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITY: - Supervises: None - ACCOUNTABILITY Reports Directly To: Medical Director Often Engages Directly With: Medical Staff We could treat Supervisor Responsibility as part of responsibilities.

Also there is a paragraph before: "We are interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. We welcome applicants who bring a diversity of identity, culture, experience, perspective and thought. We encourage you to apply, even if you do not believe you meet every one of the qualifications described. You are also encouraged to address how your professional and lived experience, scholarship, mentorship and/or service will contribute to the Oregon Humane." This is encouraging but could be considered part of qualifications? It's more about encouraging applicants; could be kept as prose in Qualifications section. Work Environment Conditions & Physical Requirements: This could be considered part of Requirements or maybe Skills? It's about work environment. Could be placed under Requirements or maybe a separate section but not in list. Since we only have headings from list, we could put under Requirements (or maybe Skills). The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements section for work environment and physical requirements. Thus we need to extract work environment and physical requirements paragraphs. Work Environment Conditions & Physical Requirements: "This position interacts and collaborates will all levels of the organization, including Oregon Humane staff, executive team members, donors, general public, external vendors, volunteers, and supporters.
