We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: mission statement? It's part of description; we can keep as prose under About the role maybe. Must not include EEO etc. Must not include application instructions, links like "click here". Should we keep mention of benefits? The posting says "For information about City of Chicago employee benefits, please click here" - that's a link, but no actual benefit details given. Since no specific benefit details, we should not create Benefits section because no real content. Similarly Pay: Starting Salary: $83,052.00/Year is given, so we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: Days: Monday - Friday (May include occasional Saturdays) Shift: 8:30am — 4:30pm. Participate in rotating on-call coverage, including additional hours as needed. Work after hours and on weekends during Summer Special Events season. That's schedule info, so include Schedule section.
Qualifications: Education and experience requirements: Bachelor's degree etc. Also Licensure, Certification, Or Other Qualifications: Must be licensed as Environmental Health Practitioner within six months, valid driver's license, permanent use of automobile insured. Also maybe "Graduation from an accredited college..." etc. We'll put under Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which content goes where. Likely:
- About the role: mission and general description (mission statement, supervises sanitarians, etc.)
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties list.
- Requirements: maybe education/experience? Or Qualifications? Could split: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = licensure/certifications. But we can combine if needed. However we must only include headings when there is real content. We'll include both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content.
- Skills: Desired Skills list.
- Pay: Starting salary.
- Schedule: days/shift/on-call.
We must not include Benefits section because no specifics.
We must not include navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
