We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "About The Opportunity" and "Summary". Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have content: About The Opportunity (description). Could map to "About the role". Then responsibilities: many bullet-like paragraphs describing duties. Could group under "Responsibilities". Requirements: qualifications section includes education, experience, etc. Could map to "Qualifications". Skills: maybe part of qualifications but we can separate? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Pay and Schedule not present (no specific pay or schedule details). Benefits present: there is a Benefits, Compensation & Workforce Diversity paragraph. So we can include Benefits section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "FirstEnergy proudly supports workforce diversity..." That's EEO boilerplate; should be removed. Also safety section at end maybe boilerplate? It's about safety core value; might be considered boilerplate but could be relevant? It's generic safety statement; likely boilerplate; remove. Also "No recruiters or agencies..." etc. Remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract the substantive paragraphs. Let's parse the posting: - FirstEnergy at a Glance: description of company. Might be considered substantive? It's about the company; could be part of About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's generic but maybe relevant. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "FirstEnergy at a Glance" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered company overview; might be okay to keep as part of About the role? However we already have About The Opportunity section. Might combine. Better to include a short paragraph about company as part of About the role. - About The Opportunity: description of position being open with Ohio Edison, full-time on-site located at any FirstEnergy location within Ohio footprint. That's substantive. - Summary: description of Supervisor of Customer Accounts role responsibilities. - Then a long list of responsibilities broken into sections: Customer Engagement & Representation, Technical Account Management, Communication & Relationship Building, Leadership, Performance Management, Financial And Fiscal Management. We can combine these under Responsibilities as a series of
  • items, each maybe a paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not lose details. We'll create

    About the role

    with paragraphs: FirstEnergy at a Glance + About The Opportunity. Then

    Responsibilities

    with
    • each responsibility bullet. We need to break down the responsibilities into list items. The text includes many sentences; we can split by major headings: Customer Engagement & Representation, Technical Account Management, Communication & Relationship Building, Leadership, Performance Management, Financial And Fiscal Management. Each heading contains multiple sentences; we could make each heading a list item with its content. Alternatively we could make each sentence separate but that may be too many. Keep each heading as a list item. Now Qualifications: we have a paragraph with bullet-like sentences: Bachelor's degree... Demonstrated Management/leadership with 7 years... In lieu of a degree... Related work experience includes... Experience in Customer Accounts preferred. Leadership experience a plus. Broad background... Exceptional leadership... Strong business and financial acumen... Highly driven... Experience in process/project development... Superior customer relations skills... Demonstrated initiative... Ability to adapt communication... Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects... Demonstrated ability to both develop and execute an agreed upon strategy... Willingness to work off hours... We can turn each sentence into
    • . Benefits: paragraph about total rewards philosophy: competitive pay plus incentive compensation, company-sponsored pension plan, 401(k) savings plan with matching employer contribution, choice of medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, and life insurance programs, skills development training with tuition reimbursement. Also mention website for more info. That's substantive. We should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Now produce HTML. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft. First, opening maybe not required; just output fragment. We'll do:
