We'll include those.
Requirements: Could combine "Required Qualifications", "Language Proficiency Requirements", "Security Clearance Requirement". Let's list them.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in education, foreign language, or linguistics with 8–12 years of prior relevant experience or Master’s degree with 2–10 years of prior relevant experience. Additional years of experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.

We could put these under Requirements heading.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience within the U.S. Intelligence Community, military, or law enforcement.
- Ability to communicate fluently and professionally in multiple languages is highly desirable.
- Prior exposure to cryptologic or national security environments a plus.
- Linguists who are proficient in multiple languages are strongly desired.
We could put under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe combine language proficiency and MS Office etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could still have Skills section for "Proficient in MS Office and basic internet research. Excellent communication and presentation skills in both English and the foreign language." But that's duplicate. Might be better to put under Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in original? But we should not repeat same content unnecessarily? It didn't forbid duplication, but we should aim to not repeat. However we can place MS Office etc under Skills, and language proficiency under Skills as well. But then Requirements would lose those details. Better to keep them in Requirements and maybe Skills for other skills like "Ability to develop class materials and training aids" etc. But that's also in responsibilities.
Given the headings list, we can include Skills for things like "Proficient in MS Office and basic internet research. Excellent communication and presentation skills in both English and the foreign language." Also maybe "Ability to develop class materials and training aids". But that's more responsibility.
We'll decide: include Skills section with those two bullet points.
Benefits: from "Pay And Benefits" section: "Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement." Also "Leidos will sponsor and upgrade security clearances for eligible candidates." Also maybe "Take Your Expertise to the Next Level – Join Leidos as a Language Instructor" not benefit.
We'll list benefits as bullet list.
Pay: explicit Pay Range.
Schedule: we have "Deliver 3–5 hours of daily instruction". That's schedule info. Could be under Schedule.
We'll include Schedule with that bullet.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role? The posting includes description: "Vietnamese Language Instructor Looking for an opportunity to make an impact? Unleash your potential at Leidos..." That's more about company mission. Could be "About the role" or "About Leidos". But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for: - Responsibilities: list of duties (deliver instruction, become tester, etc.) - Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" and "Language Proficiency Requirements" and "Security Clearance Requirement". Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications". Could be separate. - Skills: maybe "Proficient in MS Office and basic internet research. Excellent communication and presentation skills in both English and the foreign language." Also language proficiency. - Benefits: there is a section "Pay And Benefits" describing benefits: competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. Also mention "Leidos will sponsor and upgrade security clearances for eligible candidates." That's a benefit. - Pay: explicit Pay Range $92,300.00 - $166,850.00. - Schedule: maybe not explicit; there is mention of "Deliver 3–5 hours of daily instruction". That's schedule info. Could be under Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include if we have real content. Let's extract: About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph describing the role and mission. We have: "Vietnamese Language Instructor Looking for an opportunity to make an impact?
