We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Who We Are", "Your Impact at SAM", "What You Bring to SAM", "Our Perks". We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Who We Are: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. "Who We Are" is company overview, not role. Could be omitted? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We could put "About the role" maybe not appropriate. Could we use "About the role" for company description? Probably not. Better to omit "About the role". Use "Responsibilities" for "Your Impact at SAM". Use "Requirements" or "Qualifications" for "What You Bring to SAM". Use "Benefits" for "Our Perks". No Pay or Schedule info given, so omit those sections. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. There's no cookie/navigation etc. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content: Who We Are: "Founded in 1994, Surveying And Mapping, LLC (SAM) is a nationwide leader in geospatial and construction-phase solutions. With more than 50 offices and 1,600 professionals, we deliver the scale, technology, and expertise needed to support projects of any size. SAM streamlines project delivery through a single, coordinated team, offering in-house capabilities across land surveying, aerial mapping, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), utility coordination (UC), GIS, BIM, and construction engineering inspection (CEI). By combining advanced technology, digital workflows, and decades of experience, we provide accurate, actionable data that helps clients move critical infrastructure projects forward with confidence. At SAM, you’ll be part of a team that values innovation, growth, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the built environment." That's prose; could be placed in a

    . Could be under a heading like "About the Company"? Not allowed. Maybe we can omit this section? But instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit, we lose info. We need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can put it under a heading like "About the role"? Not accurate but maybe acceptable? The instruction says use

    for section 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. ...). Likely they expect only those headings. But we could still use "About the role" heading and put company overview there? Might be considered filler? However they said include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The company overview is real content, so we could put it under "About the role". Even though it's not exactly about the role, it's still substantive. Might be acceptable. Alternatively we could create a custom heading like "About SAM" but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to use one of the allowed headings. Which one fits best? "About the role" is about the role, but we could stretch to include company overview as part of role context. Probably okay. Next: Your Impact at SAM: list of duties. We'll put under

      or

      Qualifications

      . Both are allowed. We need to decide which to use. The content includes experience, skills, abilities. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications? But we prefer few substantive sections. Could combine into one section, maybe "Requirements". Use
