We need to output HTML fragment with sections: use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Summary (which could be About the role), Duties (Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications), maybe Skills (Competencies), Work Schedule (Schedule). Benefits, Pay not present. So we should not include Benefits or Pay sections. Also maybe include "Qualifications" heading for qualifications. Also maybe "Skills" for competencies. Also "Schedule" for work schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Note: A full year of work is considered to be 35-40 hours..." but that's part of qualifications; we keep it. Also "Physical Requirements" etc. Should we include? It's part of qualifications. We'll keep under Qualifications. We need to format lists with

  • . The duties are a paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to split into list items. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should create a list. We'll extract each duty sentence.

    • . Some lines are split weirdly (like "quality and quantity standards met" separate line). We'll combine into one bullet? Probably each line is a duty. We'll keep as separate

We'll do that. 20. procedural - policy - and regulatory compliance 21. and technical competence These also seem like continuations.
