0120 - Assistant Store Manager FT

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Brief Description Assistant Store Manager About Our Company". The content includes About Our Company, General Position Summary, Principle Duties & Responsibilities (with subheadings People & Training, Customer Experience, Operations, Product & Inventory Management), Job Required Knowledge & Skills, What We Offer, Physical Demands & Requirements, Reports To, Additional Information (but we need to drop boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc). Also need to include sections only if they have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Reports To Store Manager" maybe keep as a short paragraph? It's minor metadata; we can fold into a short

  or drop it. Probably keep as a short p. We need to include sections: About the role? Actually "General Position Summary" could be a section heading "About the role". But we need to use headings exactly as given? The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. We have sections: About Our Company (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About Our Company". Could treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use those example headings, but we can use any appropriate heading as long as it's

  . Probably better to use headings that reflect content: "About the Company", "Position Summary", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Skills", "Benefits", "Physical Demands". However they gave examples; we can use those exact headings if appropriate. Let's decide: - About the role: could be General Position Summary. - Responsibilities: Principle Duties & Responsibilities (with subpoints). - Requirements: Job Required Knowledge & Skills (maybe also Employment Requirements? but we drop boilerplate). - Skills: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. - Benefits: What We Offer. - Physical Demands: Physical Demands & Requirements. - Pay: not present, so omit. - Schedule: not present, omit. We also have "Reports To Store Manager" maybe as a short p under Additional Information? Could be omitted. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info: include company description, position summary, duties broken down, required knowledge/skills, benefits, physical demands. We need to format lists: For duties, we have subcategories with bullet points. We'll create

  • for each duty item. Could also nest subheadings? Probably just list all duties under Responsibilities heading. Similarly for requirements/skills: list items. Benefits: list items. Physical demands: list items. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove sections: Equal Employment Opportunity, Notice to Applicants, Need Accessibility Assistance, etc. Also remove "Additional Information" that includes employment requirements, legal stuff. We'll drop that. We need to keep "Reports To Store Manager" maybe as a short p. Let's extract content: About Our Company: "At Lids Sports Group, we don’t just sell hats — we fuel fandom.

Reports To Store Manager: maybe short p: "Reports to: Store Manager" Additional Information: we drop. Now produce HTML. We'll have sections:

    About the Company

    (or About the role? but we have company description). Use

    for prose.

    Position Summary

    ...

    Responsibilities

    then maybe subheadings? Could keep subheadings as

    ? But instruction only mentions

    for section headings. Could still use

    for subheadings? Not prohibited. Safer to just list all duties under Responsibilities without subheadings, but we lose some structure. Could keep subheadings as

    or . I think using

    is okay. But to be safe, we can use

    for each major section: People & Training, Customer Experience, Operations, Product & Inventory Management as subsections under Responsibilities? Might be too many headings. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine all duties under one Responsibilities section, using

    • for each duty. We can keep the subheadings as inside
    • or as preceding text. Let's do:

      Responsibilities

      • People & Training: ... list items? Could embed sublist. Simpler: just list all duties as separate
      • items, preserving the text exactly as given (including subheading text). Eg: "
      • Act as Manager on duty for any employee scheduling issues, customer complaints, etc. when Store Manager is not present.
      " etc. For subheadings we could include them as part of the item: "
      • People & Training: Act as Manager on duty ..." but that changes text. Better to keep original wording: The original had heading "People & Training" then bullet points. We could output:

        People & Training

        then
        ... but that adds extra heading. Might be okay. Given instruction to prefer few sections, but we can still have subheadings inside Responsibilities as

        . Not prohibited. I'll do that. Similarly
