We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting: - Title: Now Hiring: Youth Specialists – Independent Living Boys' Group Home - Location: Royal Oak ~ by Royal Oak High School - Status: Weekend Hours Shifts Available: ALL SHIFTS Working on-site to support the adolescent boys living in the home - Intro paragraph: Are you calm under pressure... etc. - "What You’ll Do:" list of duties. - "What We’re Looking For:" list of qualifications. - "Why Join Us?" includes Pay, Incentives, Benefits, Growth opportunities, mission-driven team, etc. - Then "Duties and Responsibilities" list (more detailed). - Then "Job Qualifications" sections: Education, Training, and Licensure/Certification; Experience; Additional Work Requirements. We need to combine and avoid duplication. Provide sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (education, experience, etc.), Benefits (maybe include incentives?), Pay (explicit pay), Schedule (maybe weekend hours?), but we need to only include if posting actually states them. Pay: "$18.00 per hour" plus incentives: +$1/hour for weekend or overnight shifts +$2/hour for shifts that qualify as both. So we have pay info. Schedule: "Weekend Hours Shifts Available: ALL SHIFTS" indicates schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: "Comprehensive benefits" mentioned, also "Growth opportunities in youth services and trauma-informed care", "Be part of a mission-driven team making a real impact". So we can include Benefits section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading for title. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, status maybe as part of About the role paragraph. We need to remove boilerplate like hashtags at end. Let's craft:
