We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for each section that has real content. Use
  • for lists,

    for prose. No job title heading, no Job ID, no boilerplate, no EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role? The intro paragraphs about Varsity Spirit: "VARSITY SPIRIT, A VARSITY BRANDS COMPANY - THE DRIVING FORCE IN SPIRIT ACROSS CHEER, DANCE, BAND AND YEARBOOK For over 50 years..." That's company overview. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have: - Job type: Full Time - Location type: outside sales, hybrid. Sales activity takes place across a home office, local schools, community events, and in-person meetings with clients. - Territory details: Anderson/Greenville region, South Carolina. Must live within or close proximity, travel throughout territory. - Work hours: Hours vary based on customer needs. Evening and weekend work may be required. - Travel requirements: Travel is primarily local to schools and organizations within the territory, although some out-of-the-area and overnight travel may be required. - How You Will Make An Impact: description. - What You Will Do: list of duties. - Qualifications: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: bullet list. - Education/Experience: bullet list. - Physical Requirements: bullet list. - What To Expect After Applying: description. - Our Values: list. - Our Benefits: list. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe company overview), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (maybe Qualifications + Education/Experience?), Skills (maybe Knowledge/Skills/Abilities?), Benefits (Our Benefits), Pay (not present), Schedule (Work hours maybe). Also maybe "Work Hours" could be Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Work Hours, Travel Requirements, etc. Could combine into a "Schedule" section? The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (company overview), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (maybe combine Qualifications/Education/Experience?), Skills (maybe Knowledge/Skills/Abilities?), Benefits (Our Benefits), Schedule (Work Hours, Travel Requirements maybe). But we need to avoid duplication. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details like Job Type, Location Type, Territory Details, Work Hours, Travel Requirements, How You Will Make An Impact, What You Will Do, Qualifications (Knowledge/Skills/Abilities), Education/Experience, Physical Requirements, What To Expect After Applying, Our Values, Our Benefits. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

    Maybe also include commitment to safety? That's substantive but could be part of About the role. Could add a paragraph. But we need to avoid too many sections; maybe combine company overview and safety commitment into About the role. Next:

    How You Will Make An Impact

    as a paragraph. We have that section: "How You Will Make An Impact A Varsity Spirit Fashion Sales Representative is passionate about fashion, enjoys working one-on-one with customers and thrives in a sales environment. Committed to creating memorable experiences for customers and transforming today’s brightest young people into tomorrow’s leaders, is a member of the largest, most influential manufacturing brand in the industry. Responsibilities include providing personalized solutions to groups with participants of all ages. Effectively promote Varsity products through a consultative based selling approach. A Varsity Spirit Fashion Sales Representative will represent Varsity Brands by demonstration of company core values in driving the highest ethical standards of conduct in all business activities. SPIRIT – PASSION – INNOVATION – RESPECT – INTEGRITY – TRANSPARENCY Click here to learn more about the apparel and products our Sales Reps sell." We need to preserve that but remove the "Click here..." link (that's a navigation). So we can keep the prose up to before "Click here". Also remove the duplicated "SPIRIT – PASSION – INNOVATION – RESPECT – INTEGRITY – TRANSPARENCY" maybe it's just a list of values; but we already have Our Values section; we could keep it as part of impact but maybe it's redundant. However we must preserve all substantive information; that line is substantive (the values). But we already have Our Values section; we could keep it there and not repeat. However the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we omit that line, we are removing substantive info (the values). But we have them in Our Values section; we could keep them there and not duplicate. The line appears in the impact section; we could keep it there as part of the impact description, but then we would duplicate values. Duplication is to be removed: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines". So we should avoid duplicated lines. So we should keep the values only once, perhaps in Our Values section, and omit the duplicate line from the impact section. That seems acceptable: we are not inventing or summarizing away detail; we are just removing duplicate line. The rest of the impact paragraph is unique. Thus

    How You Will Make An Impact

    with paragraph. Next:

    What To Expect After Applying

    paragraph. We also have "After submitting your application, you will receive a call from our virtual recruiter to complete a brief initial screening at your convenience. This optional screening will help us learn more about your experience and interest in this Varsity Spirit Sales opportunity. Your responses will then be reviewed by our recruiting team, and selected candidates will be contacted regarding next steps in the interview process." Keep that. Also note: "Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities required of the employee for this job." That's a disclaimer; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO but it's a generic disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those, but it's a generic disclaimer about job description not
