Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive info, no invention, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). The posting includes many details: description of work, summer/winter tasks, hours, minimum qualifications for TG and TA, preferred qualifications, physical requirements, additional requirements (background check, drug test), benefits list, pay ranges, schedule info. We need to decide sections. - About the role: could include overview paragraph about role, mission, multi-level posting, trainee etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties (summer and winter tasks). Use

• . - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Could be separate sections: Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). But guidelines: Use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills maybe from physical requirements? Could include physical requirements under Skills? Or maybe Skills separate. But we can include Skills if there is content: physical requirements, ability to work nights, etc. Could treat as Skills. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: salary ranges. - Schedule: hours of work (summer/winter, overtime, shifts). We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections we include must have real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

  maybe but not required. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph with location, job ID, etc. But we might drop it to keep focus. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Is Job ID substantive? It's metadata; maybe not essential but could be considered minor. The instruction says we can drop it. So we can drop Job ID, location? Location is substantive? Might be considered important. But location is given: Effie. Could be included in a short

  . We'll include location maybe in About the role paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, etc. The posting includes some boilerplate: "The Minnesota Department of Transportation does not sponsor applicants for work visas..." etc. That's not boilerplate? It's about work visa sponsorship; maybe we keep as part of About the role? It's substantive? Might be considered relevant. But we can keep it as part of About the role. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:
