Agronomy Sales Associate - Gateway FS - Woodlawn, IL

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real specific content. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about FS brand (maybe not needed? It's part of description but not a specific section heading. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe we can include as prose under a heading? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should decide which sections are present. We have: - Purpose And Summary Statement (could be "About the role" or "Job Summary"). - Essential Job Functions (list of duties) -> Responsibilities. - Other Job Functions (more duties) -> could also be part of Responsibilities. - Requirements (list) -> Requirements. - Occasionally Exposed To / Required To (working conditions) maybe could be part of Requirements or a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe omit if not a standard heading. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could include working conditions under Requirements or maybe as a separate "Requirements" subsection but we only have headings list; we could still include a heading like "Working Conditions" but not in the given examples; but the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings. We have Pay: SALARY: $50,000 - $60,000. Also mention "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 pay info. We have Benefits: description of pension, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, supplemental plans, PTO, holidays, 401(k) matching, EAP, etc. Also "Benefits eligibility may vary depending on the position." That's benefits. We have Schedule? Not explicitly mentioned. Could infer "Ability to work extended hours as business conditions warrant." That's schedule info but not explicit schedule like full-time, shift. Might not create Schedule section unless explicit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay and Benefits explicitly. Schedule not explicitly stated; we have "Ability to work extended hours as business conditions warrant." That's not a schedule description like "Full-time, Monday-Friday". Might be considered schedule info but ambiguous. Safer to not create Schedule section. We have Qualifications? Not separate; Requirements covers qualifications. Skills? Not separate; maybe we could include under Requirements or Skills. But we have "Demonstrated essential abilities including business knowledge, collaboration, communication, customer focus, decision making and skill development." That's skills. Could create Skills section. But we must not create thin sections. Let's think: we have enough content for Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills. But we could merge skills into Requirements. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Requirements. Thus sections: About the role (Purpose And Summary Statement), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions + Other Job Functions), Requirements (including degree, experience, abilities, driver's license, travel, certifications, working conditions), Benefits, Pay. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those lines. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive info: Intro paragraph about FS brand: "The FS brand represents a standard of excellence for agricultural and energy-related products. It's the people who represent the FS brand that set it apart. As local cooperatives, FS Companies believe it is their responsibility to ensure that our earth, our communities, and businesses perform together, sustainably. FS Companies are committed to ensuring the continued profitability for the company, their owners, and their customers, while enacting to help the environment and greater good." That's substantive but not under a heading. Could be placed under About the role as prose.
