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 need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Title: West Plains Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent (not to be repeated as heading). - About This Role: description of role, duties. - About Us: description of organization. - Worksite Description: location, on-site. We need to map content to sections: "About the role" corresponds to About This Role. "Responsibilities" maybe from duties listed. "Requirements" maybe not explicit; but there may be qualifications implied? The posting does not list explicit qualifications (like degree, experience). It mentions responsibilities and duties. There's no explicit "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". So we should only include sections where we have substantive content: About the role, Responsibilities, About Us (maybe could be "About Us" but not in list; we have only prescribed headings. The list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's no "About Us" heading allowed. Should we omit About Us? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. But we could also include "About Us" as a heading? The instruction says use those for section headings; maybe we should stick to those. However, we need to preserve all substantive information; we can't drop About Us info. Could we incorporate About Us content under "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Probably better to create a section "About the role" that includes both role description and about us? But that might mix. Alternatively, we could treat "About Us" as "About the role"? Not ideal. Maybe we can include a section "About the role" for the role description, and another section "Responsibilities" for the duties list. Then we could include "About Us" as a paragraph under "About the role" or as its own section with a heading not in list? The instruction says use those headings for section headings; it doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but it's implied to use those. Safer to stick to those headings and place the About Us info under "About the role" as part of the role description. Thus sections: - About the role: combine About This Role and About Us and Worksite Description? Worksite Description could be under "Schedule"? No, schedule is about work schedule. Not present. Worksite description maybe could be under "About the role" as location. But we need to avoid filler headings. We'll produce:

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: role description, duties, about us, worksite. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule if not present. Thus output only those two sections. Now craft content.
