Agronomy Sales Associate - Gateway FS - Breese, IL

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Company description: FS brand etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe summary. We have "Purpose And Summary Statement". That's like a description of role. Could be placed under

About the role

with

. - Essential Job Functions: list of duties. Use

• . - Other Job Functions: also duties; could combine with Essential? Might be separate but both are duties. Could combine into Responsibilities section. - Requirements: list of requirements (education, experience, abilities, driver's license, travel, extended hours, CCA/Commercial Applicator certifications). Use
  . - Occasionally Exposed To / Required To: list of working conditions. Could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Could include under Requirements as part of list? Might be okay. - Benefits: description of pension, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, supplemental plans, PTO, holidays, 401(k) matching, EAP, etc. Use
  . - Pay: SALARY: $50,000-$60,000, with bonus incentive. Also note "Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law. In addition to base pay, certain roles may be eligible for bonuses, incentives, and commissions." So we have pay info. Should create Pay section with

  maybe. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's "Ability to work extended hours as business conditions warrant." Not a schedule. No explicit schedule. So we should not create Schedule section. - Qualifications/Skills: Could be covered under Requirements. The headings list includes Qualifications, Skills. We could combine but we need to avoid filler. Since we have Requirements covering qualifications, we could omit Qualifications and Skills separate sections unless we have distinct content. Probably better to have Requirements section covering education, experience, certifications, certifications, abilities. Skills could be part of Requirements. We'll just have Requirements. - About the role: we have purpose and summary statement. Could be under About the role. - Responsibilities: essential job functions + other job functions. Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Benefits (h3), Pay (h3). Ensure we don't include empty sections. Now need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Remove those lines. We must not include navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Thus we need to strip: - "We are an equal opportunity/Disabled/Protected Veteran Employer..." etc. - "Employment is contingent on, among other things, receipt of an acceptable and job-related background check, drug test, motor vehicle report, and/or reference check, as applicable and permissible by law." - Also maybe "Benefits eligibility may vary depending on the position." That's substantive? It's a note about benefits eligibility; we could keep it as part of Benefits section. - "Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law. In addition to base pay, certain roles may be eligible for bonuses, incentives, and commissions." That's part of Pay. Now we need to format. Let's extract content. About the role / Purpose And Summary Statement: "Trains and works to generate profitable sales in the assigned territory through sales support and customer service, accurate record keeping, providing value-added agronomic products, services, and recommendations, ensuring great experience for customers, and promoting sales growth through company marketing programs." We could keep that as
