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 job posting. We have: Brief Description Assistant Store Manager About Our Company ... (company description). Then General Position Summary (role description). Then Principle Duties & Responsibilities (with sub-sections: People & Training, Customer Experience, Operations, Product & Inventory Management). Then Job Required Knowledge & Skills (list). Then What We Offer (benefits). Then Physical Demands & Requirements (maybe part of Requirements). Then Reports To Store Manager (metadata). Then Pay Transparency Statement (pay). Then Employment Requirements (legal). Then EEO etc (boilerplate to remove). Then Notice to Applicants (privacy) (boilerplate). Then Need Accessibility Assistance (contact) maybe not needed. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out EEO, Notice to Applicants, Accessibility Assistance? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Accessibility Assistance is not exactly those but could be considered contact info; but it's not application instructions? It's a contact for accommodation. Might be considered part of application instructions? Probably we should drop it as it's not substantive job content. Also "Reports To Store Manager" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So Reports To Store Manager is minor metadata; we can include in a short paragraph maybe under a generic section? But we should not create a heading for it. Probably we can include it in a

after the summary. We need to preserve all substantive information. Sections we can create: - About the role (maybe from General Position Summary). Could be "About the role" heading

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing role. - Responsibilities: from Principle Duties & Responsibilities (including sub-bullets). We'll need to convert each bullet into
  • . The subheadings like People & Training, Customer Experience, Operations, Product & Inventory Management could be either headings inside the list? But we only allowed

    for section headings; we could keep them as or just as part of list items? Probably better to keep them as part of list items with maybe a leading bold. But we can also create subheadings using

    ? Not allowed; only

    for section headings. So we should not create extra headings beyond those allowed. So we can keep the responsibilities as a list, maybe grouping with
  • that contain the subheading text bolded. - Requirements: could include Physical Demands & Requirements, plus maybe "Job Required Knowledge & Skills" (skills). But we have separate sections for Skills, Qualifications, Requirements. We need to decide what goes where. The posting includes: - Job Required Knowledge & Skills (list of abilities). That's skills. - Physical Demands & Requirements (list of physical abilities). That's requirements. - Also maybe "Established ability to produce sales results while minimizing loss." etc are skills. - Also "Ability to work unsupervised." etc. - Also "Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 pounds." etc. - Also "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." (legal, maybe drop). - Also "Employment Requirements" (legal). That's boilerplate. - Also "Pay Transparency Statement" (pay). So we need a Pay section. - Benefits: "What We Offer" includes: Generous employee discount and exclusive perks, Career development opportunities and professional training programs., A collaborative, innovative, and team-oriented work environment, Early Wage Access options to provide added financial flexibility. Thus Benefits section. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. - Qualifications: Not explicitly listed; maybe "Experience, skills, physical abilities, and qualifications" but not specific. Could be considered under Requirements? There's no explicit qualifications like degree, years experience. So we may omit Qualifications section if no specific content. - About the company: Could be included under About the role? Or we could have a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should put company description under About the role maybe. Thus we will output:

    About the role

    We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed them. We also need to include "Reports To Store Manager" maybe as a short paragraph under About the role?
