Assistant Store Manager
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading "Assistant Store Manager". Good.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from description, essential functions, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, knowledge/skills/abilities, working conditions & physical demands, employment status, general requirements & disclaimers (but we can drop EEO etc). However we need to decide where to place each piece.
Let's parse content:
Description paragraph: "We are looking for full-time Assistant Store Managers who are enthusiastic, energetic, friendly, and hard-working!

Working Conditions & Physical Demands: This is a list of physical demands. Could be placed under a section? Not among the prescribed headings. Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? But we have no specific heading for physical demands. Could we include under Requirements? Might be okay to include as part of Requirements (since they are requirements). However the instruction says to use sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for physical demands; we could include under Requirements as part of list, or maybe create a separate section? Not in allowed headings list. So we should incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. Probably Requirements is appropriate.
Employment Status: "This is a regular, full-time, hourly position that is deemed “non-exempt” by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and will typically work 40 hours per week." This speaks to schedule (hours) and employment type. Could go under Schedule section.
General Requirements & Disclaimers: includes statements about description not exhaustive, employees must be able to perform essential functions, reasonable accommodation, EEO statement. We should remove EEO boilerplate. Keep the generic statements: "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people in this position. They are not intended to be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities and duties of an employee, so classified. Employees must be physically able to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation." That's substantive. We could put that under Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in headings. Could add to Requirements as a note.
We must not include EEO etc. So we will omit that paragraph.
Now schedule: we have flexible schedule requirement, open/close store 3 times per week, 2 weekend shifts per month, ability to work flexible schedule including events, holidays, evenings, weekends. Also employment status says typically work 40 hours per week. So schedule section can contain those details.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.

Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's list all pieces and see if any missing.
From description: we captured the paragraph about role. Did we capture all sentences? The paragraph includes multiple sentences; we can put them in one
. That's fine.
Essential job functions: we captured each bullet.
Required qualifications: captured all five.
Preferred qualifications: captured two.
Knowledge, skills, abilities: captured eight items.
Working conditions & physical demands: we haven't included yet. Need to include somewhere. Let's add them under Requirements as additional list items (or maybe under a separate section but not allowed). We'll add under Requirements after the required qualifications list.
Physical demands list:

We need to preserve these exactly. We'll put as
- items.
General Requirements & Disclaimers: we keep the two sentences about description not exhaustive and employees must be physically able to perform essential functions with or without reasonable accommodation. We'll add as

Also mention that it's regular full-time hourly non-exempt. We'll put in
.
Check for duplication: The ability to work flexible schedule appears both in required qualifications and schedule; we might mention it only once. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can mention in schedule section and not repeat in required qualifications? However required qualifications already
for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading "Assistant Store Manager". Good. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information.
