We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Must be available for weekends." Actually that's a line at top? The posting starts: "Must be available for weekends. Rooted in our Christian faith, Bethany Christian Services works to ensure children are safe, loved, and connected through family. Across 29 states, we strengthen families, support foster care and adoption, and walk alongside refugees with compassion. Here, living out your faith means using your gifts to bring hope and make a lasting impact. Are you passionate about supporting youth in a structured, therapeutic environment? As a Residential Youth Specialist, you will provide afternoon and evening supervision and care to adolescent residents. Your role is essential in helping youth navigate their daily routines, build positive relationships, and work toward their treatment goals." That's about the role description. Then "How Your Role Makes A Difference" bullet list: Supervise and support residents during afternoon and evening routines; Encourage positive peer interactions and participation in program activities; Respond to crises using nonviolent crisis prevention intervention (CPI) techniques when necessary; Maintain safe, structured, and nurturing environment; Document observations, incidents, and resident progress accurately; Participate in team meetings and provide updates on resident behavior and progress; Assist with transitions such as mealtimes, study periods, and bedtime preparations; Other duties as assigned. That's responsibilities. Then "What Will Make You Successful": list of qualifications/requirements: High School Diploma or equivalent; Minimum of one year of child welfare experience working with children and/or adolescents; Bilingual in English/Spanish preferred; Prior experience working with youth in a residential setting, preferred; Excellent verbal and written communication skills; Must have an ability to provide excellent and compassionate customer service; Ability to work independently and exercise a high level of confidentiality; Must be reliable with time sensitive deadlines and tasks; Have the ability to serve as positive role model; Demonstrated ability to nurture and provide structure, support, and respect to others; Must be able to work effectively as a member of a multi-disciplinary treatment team; Must be able to pass required medical examinations and have the physical ability to fulfill the essential job functions, including physical restraints of a resident; Successfully pass an annual TB test and document preference to receive or decline Hepatitis immunization; This position requires the availability for night shifts, weekends shifts, and holiday coverage; Computer skills sufficient to perform essential functions including knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite; Must be 21 years old with a valid driver’s license with at least 3 years of driving experience in the U.S. to operate a vehicle on behalf of Bethany; Must pass a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check and maintain a reliable vehicle with proof of adequate insurance coverage; Pass a criminal history screen, including state and local child protection agency registries; Subscription to and integration of the agency Statement of Faith, Mission Statement, and Commitment to Unity. Then "We Invest in You": benefits: Experience a team environment with other professionals who are motivated by faith, support one another, pursue excellence, and are in it for the long haul; Access to training, professional development, and career growth opportunities; Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, and vision); 403(b) retirement plan with employer match eligibility; Generous time off (11 paid holidays, PTO YourWay, paid parental leave, separate sick and paid absence banks); Access to education reimbursement for those that qualify; Comprehensive employee assistance and wellness program; Employer paid long-term disability and group term life insurance. No explicit Pay or Schedule sections, though schedule info appears in requirements: "This position requires the availability for night shifts, weekends shifts, and holiday coverage". That's schedule info but not a separate schedule section. According to rules, we should only include Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does mention schedule availability, but not as a separate heading. Should we create a Schedule section? The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." Also: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the 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." The posting does state schedule availability (night shifts, weekends shifts, holiday coverage). That is specific content. So we could include a Schedule section with that content. However we also have schedule info in requirements; but we could still create a Schedule section with that sentence. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule availability, so we can create Schedule section. Similarly Benefits: we have benefits listed under "We Invest in You". So we should include Benefits section. Pay: no mention of pay/salary, so we should NOT include Pay section. Now sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (the bullet list under "How Your Role Makes A Difference"), Requirements (maybe combine qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe communication etc). But we need to decide which headings to use. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose among those. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: - About the role: intro paragraph describing role, mission, etc. Good. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. - Requirements: maybe education, experience, age, driver license, background checks, medical, TB test, Hepatitis preference, MVR, criminal history, Statement of Faith subscription. That's a set. - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications: bilingual, prior residential experience, etc. Could combine with Requirements but we could separate. - Skills: communication, customer service, confidentiality, reliability, role model, nurturing, teamwork, computer skills (Microsoft Office). Could be a Skills section. - Benefits: as described. - Schedule: night/weekend/holiday availability. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract each. First, About the role: The paragraph(s) before responsibilities: "Must be available for weekends. Rooted in our Christian faith, Bethany Christian Services works to ensure children are safe, loved, and connected through family. Across 29 states, we strengthen families, support foster care and adoption, and walk alongside refugees with compassion. Here, living out your faith means using your gifts to bring hope and make a lasting impact. Are you passionate about supporting youth in a structured, therapeutic environment? As a Residential Youth Specialist, you will provide afternoon and evening supervision and care to adolescent residents. Your role is essential in helping youth navigate their daily routines, build positive relationships, and work toward their treatment goals." Note the first line "Must be available for weekends." That is schedule info but also appears at top. Might be redundant with schedule section. We'll keep it in About the role? Might be better to move schedule info to Schedule section and remove duplicate. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can't remove it. If we put it in Schedule section, we still need to include it somewhere. We could keep it in About the role but then Schedule section would duplicate. Better to keep it in About the role and not create Schedule section? But schedule info is also stated later: "This position requires the availability for night shifts, weekends shifts, and holiday coverage." That's more specific. The first line just says "Must be available for weekends." That's less specific. We could keep the more specific schedule info in Schedule section and drop the generic line? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; dropping the generic line would lose info (though it's covered by the more specific). The generic line is redundant but still substantive. However we could keep it in About the role and also include schedule specifics in Schedule section; that would duplicate some info (weekends). Duplication is discouraged? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating the same info. So we should not repeat the same sentence. We can keep the more specific schedule info in Schedule section and omit the generic line from About the role (since it's duplicated). However the generic line is not exactly duplicated; it's a subset. But to avoid duplication, we could keep the generic line in About the role and not include Schedule section? But we have more specific schedule info later; we could incorporate that into About the role as well, making About the role longer. But then we wouldn't have a Schedule section. The rule says we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state schedule specifics, so we could create Schedule section. But then we need to avoid duplication: we could keep the generic line in About the role? That would duplicate the weekend part. Better to remove the generic line from About the role and keep schedule specifics in Schedule section. The generic line is not essential if we have the specifics. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; removing the generic line might be considered losing info, but the specifics cover it (weekends). The generic line only says weekends; specifics include nights, weekends, holidays. So the generic line is redundant. Removing it is okay as it's not losing unique info. So we can drop it. Thus About the role will be the paragraph(s) without the first line. Let's craft About the role: "Rooted in our Christian faith, Bethany Christian Services works to ensure children are safe, loved, and connected through family. Across 29 states, we strengthen families, support foster care and adoption, and walk alongside refugees with compassion. Here, living out your faith means using your gifts to bring hope and make a lasting impact. Are you passionate about supporting youth in a structured, therapeutic environment? As a Residential Youth Specialist, you will provide afternoon and evening supervision and care to adolescent residents. Your role is essential in helping youth navigate their daily routines, build positive relationships, and work toward their treatment goals." Now Responsibilities: bullet list from "How Your Role Makes A Difference". We'll put each as
  • . Now Requirements: we need to decide what goes here. Could include: High School Diploma or equivalent; Minimum of one year of child welfare experience working with children and/or adolescents; Must be 21 years old with a valid driver’s license with at least 3 years of driving experience in the U.S. to operate a vehicle on behalf of Bethany; Must pass a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check and maintain a reliable vehicle with proof of adequate insurance coverage; Pass a criminal history screen, including state and local child protection agency registries; Must be able to pass required medical examinations and have the physical ability to fulfill the essential job functions, including physical restraints of a resident; Successfully pass an annual TB test and document preference to receive or decline Hepatitis immunization; Subscription to and integration of the agency Statement of Faith, Mission Statement, and Commitment to Unity. Also maybe "Must be reliable with time sensitive deadlines and tasks" could be Skills? But we can put in Requirements. Now Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications: Bilingual in English/Spanish preferred; Prior experience working with youth in a residential setting, preferred; Excellent verbal and written communication skills; Ability to work independently and exercise a high level of confidentiality; Have the ability to serve as positive role model; Demonstrated ability to nurture and provide structure, support, and respect to others; Must be able to work effectively as a member of a multi-disciplinary treatment team; Computer skills sufficient to perform essential functions including knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite. But many of these are skills. Could combine Qualifications and Skills. However we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: we could have Requirements (mandatory) and Skills (preferred/skills). Qualifications maybe not needed. The list of headings includes Qualifications; we could use it for preferred qualifications. But we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section
