VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION COUNSELOR - MASTERS - 09222026-81117

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like Opening Date/Time, Closing Date/Time, etc? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Opening/closing dates maybe considered metadata; they said "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with opening/closing dates maybe. But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine some. We need sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience), Skills (competencies), Benefits (none given), Pay (salary given), Schedule (maybe hybrid position indicates schedule? It says "This is a hybrid position". That's schedule info? Could be schedule: hybrid (some remote, some onsite). So we can include Schedule section with that. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay we have salary range, so include Pay. Benefits: not mentioned, so omit. We need to preserve all substantive info: location, department, supervision, hybrid, criminal background check, qualifications details, overview, responsibilities, competencies, tools & equipment. We need to format using

headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We must not repeat job title. The job title is VR Counselor? Not explicitly but implied. We'll not add heading for it. We'll produce something like:
