We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The description includes "Get To Know The Role" which is like About the role. Then responsibilities: "What You’ll Do". Then qualifications/requirements: "What You Bring". Also location/hybrid info maybe part of About the role? Could be separate but we can include in About the role. Pay/Benefits: there is Pay/Benefits Information but it's generic: "Actual starting pay is determined by various factors..." and then benefits list. This is substantive? It mentions benefits but not specific amounts. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they do state benefits: health care, wellness, 401(k), life and disability, employee stock purchase, paid time off, paid sick leave, parental leave, discretionary bonuses. That's specific enough? It's not vague like "varies". It lists actual benefits. So we can include Benefits section. Pay: they say actual starting pay determined by various factors, not a specific number or range. That's vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. Schedule: they mention hybrid, full time, in-person collaboration may be required. That's schedule info? It's about work arrangement. Could be Schedule section? The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. They do state hybrid, full time, in-person may be required. That's schedule info. However "Schedule" heading might be considered for work schedule (full-time, hybrid). The posting includes "Job Schedule : Full time" and hybrid description. So we can include Schedule section with that info. But we must avoid filler like "varies". The schedule info is specific: full time, hybrid, in-person may be required. So we can include. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which sections we have: About the role (Get To Know The Role), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do), Qualifications/Skills/Requirements (What You Bring). Benefits (Pay/Benefits Information). Schedule (hybrid, full time). Possibly also Location? Not required as heading; could be part of About the role. We must use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
    • . For qualifications list also
      • . For benefits list also
        • . For schedule maybe not a list but could be

          . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all points from each section. Let's extract content. About the role / Get To Know The Role: paragraphs: "Responsible for examining and measuring proto, fit and production samples to ensure accurate execution of requested measurements, quality, and construction and overall fit of garments. Aid Designers in achieving desired point of view of garments when creating technical packages and evaluating overall fit and construction." That's the description. Also location/hybrid: "Location: This role will be hybrid, based in our New York Design Office". Also later: "Able to work in a hybrid environment, which may/will require working in person/in-office for a portion or all of a week based on the needs of the business In person/in-office collaboration may be required for work centralized around product development, milestone meetings, fittings, and approvals." We can combine location/hybrid info in About the role. Responsibilities (What You’ll Do): list: - Represent the Company interest of universal and consistent fit and proper construction. - Liaise with Design and Production to communicate company point of view to vendors. - Lead / facilitate fit sessions. - Communicate development and fit information, from initial concept through pre-production samples, through written reports, phone conversations, and sketches and/or pattern corrections, in a timely manner. - Maintain fit standards, written reports, records and samples. - Create and maintain tracking reports of sample status. - Perform other duties as assigned. Also maybe the hybrid environment line is not a duty but a condition; but we already placed in About. Qualifications/Requirements/Skills (What You Bring): - Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience and education. - 5+ years related experience; pattern skills required. - Apparel and/or Active experience preferred - Strong written and verbal communication skills required. - Ability to partner between many departments / internal business partners. - Strong Microsoft Suite & Google skills required. - Must be detail oriented and able to handle multiple tasks at once. Benefits (Pay/Benefits Information): - Actual starting pay is determined by various factors, including but not limited to relevant experience and location. - Subject to eligibility requirements, associates may receive health care benefits (including medical, vision, and dental); wellness benefits; 401(k) retirement benefits; life and disability insurance; employee stock purchase program; paid time off; paid sick leave; and parental leave and benefits. - Paid Time Off, paid sick leave, and holiday pay vary by job level and type, job location, employment classification (part-time or full-time / exempt or non-exempt), and years of service. - AEO may also provide discretionary bonuses and other incentives at its discretion. We should not include the line "For additional information, please click here ." That's a link; we can drop as boilerplate? It's a reference; maybe we drop as it's not substantive? It's a link to more info; but it's not content. We'll drop. Schedule section: - Hybrid role based in New York Design Office. - Full time. - Able to work in a hybrid environment, which may/will require working in person/in-office for a portion or all of a week based on the needs of the business. - In person/in-office collaboration may be required for work centralized around product development, milestone meetings, fittings, and approvals. We could combine with About the role but we need a Schedule section if we have content. However we already placed hybrid info in About the role; but we could still have Schedule section with specifics: Full time, hybrid expectations. To avoid duplication, we could keep hybrid info in Schedule and not repeat in About the role. But About the role currently includes location/hybrid; we could keep it brief: "Location: This role will be hybrid, based in our New York Design Office." Then Schedule section details expectations. Let's decide: About the role: brief description of role responsibilities? Actually About the role should be a summary of the role, not duties. The "Get To Know The Role" paragraph is about responsibilities; but we already have Responsibilities section. So About the role could be just location/hybrid? But the instruction: "Use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role as a short summary. The posting has "Get To Know The Role" which is essentially a summary of responsibilities. But we already have Responsibilities section with detailed list. To avoid duplication, we could put the summary in About the role and keep Responsibilities as detailed list. However the "Get To Know The Role" paragraph is not a summary but a description of responsibilities. It might be okay to treat that as About the role (overview) and then Responsibilities as bullet list. But the paragraph includes two sentences: "Responsible for examining and measuring proto, fit and production samples to ensure accurate execution of requested measurements, quality, and construction and overall fit of garments. Aid Designers in achieving desired point of view of garments when creating technical packages and evaluating overall fit and construction." That's indeed an overview of responsibilities. Then the "What You’ll Do" list is more detailed duties. So we can keep About the role as those two sentences (maybe plus location/hybrid?). Then Responsibilities as the bullet list. Let's extract About the role text: "Responsible for examining and measuring proto, fit and production samples to ensure accurate execution of requested measurements, quality, and construction and overall fit of garments. Aid Designers in achieving desired point of view of garments when creating technical packages and evaluating overall fit and construction." We'll put that in a

          . Then Responsibilities: bullet list as above. Qualifications: bullet list as above. Benefits: bullet list as above. Schedule: we need to capture full-time and hybrid expectations. The posting includes: "Job Schedule : Full time". Also hybrid description. We'll put in Schedule section: maybe a

          stating "Full-time hybrid role based in New York Design Office; may require in-person/in-office work for a portion or all of the week based on business needs, with in-person collaboration required for product development, milestone meetings, fittings, and approvals." We should not repeat location/hybrid in About the role if we already have it there; but we can keep location in About the role as brief: "Location: This role will be hybrid, based in our New York Design Office." However we already have location/hybrid in Schedule; duplication is okay? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited but we should avoid unnecessary repetition? Not explicitly forbidden. But better to avoid duplication. Let's put location/hybrid in About the role as a short sentence, and Schedule section just about full-time and expectations? But Schedule expects schedule details; we can include full-time and hybrid expectations there. Let's think. We could have About the role: brief overview of role (the two sentences). Then Responsibilities: detailed list. Then Qualifications: list. Then Benefits: list. Then Schedule: full-time, hybrid expectations (including location). That way location/hybrid appears only in Schedule. The About the role would not have location. That's okay because About the role is just a summary of the role; location is not essential to role summary but it's substantive. However we could include location in About the role as a short sentence; but then Schedule would also mention location/hybrid causing duplication. I'd rather put location/hybrid in Schedule only, and keep About the role as the two-sentence overview. Check if we lose any substantive info: The location/hybrid info is substantive; we keep it in Schedule. Good. Now we need to ensure we don't create Pay section (we omitted). Good. Now produce HTML fragment:
