We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Must preserve all substantive information.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About Us: description of company (founding, locations, etc). This could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company, not role. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings. "About Us" could go under "About the role"? Probably "About the role" is appropriate for description of role and company context. But we have a separate "Your Role" section. Could combine.
We need sections:
- About the role: could include description of role, reporting to Store Manager, inside sales activity, goal "Get the Sale!", etc.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points from Responsibilities section.
- Requirements: maybe from Qualifications? Actually Qualifications includes experience, phone skills, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe separate? The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide what content goes where. The posting has "Qualifications" heading with many bullet-like items. Also there is "Your Role" and "Responsibilities". There's also "Benefits of Joining Parts Authority". There's pay mentioned: "Min USD $17.50/Hr." Also maybe schedule not mentioned.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. So if schedule not mentioned, omit Schedule section. Pay: we have pay info, so include Pay section.
Benefits: we have benefits list, include Benefits section.
Skills: maybe we could include skills from qualifications like phone skills, communication, negotiation, etc. But we already have Qualifications. Could treat Qualifications as skills. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We need to decide to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But instruction says we can use those headings if content exists. We could have Requirements (experience, etc.) and Qualifications (skills). However many items overlap. Might be better to have a single "Qualifications" section covering experience, skills, etc. And maybe "Requirements" omitted if thin. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should aim for maybe 4-5 sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills if distinct.
Let's extract substantive content:

Also "The Auto Parts Counter Professional reports directly to Store Manager and will be responsible for inside sales activity within store.

We must not include job title as heading. So we will not have heading "Auto Parts Counter Professional". We'll embed that in prose.

Also remove duplicated lines like "The Auto Parts Counter Professional reports directly to Store Manager and will be responsible for inside sales activity within store.

We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can deduplicate.
