Automotive Technician

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually we have Company Overview, Position Summary, Pay Range, Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits (Our Crew Knows Benefits), maybe Professional Development etc. But we must follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Company Overview (some description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is more about the company. Could be "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map sections accordingly. We have Position Summary (description of role). That could be "About the role". So we can have

  About the role

  with paragraph(s) summarizing the position summary. We have Pay Range: $17.50 - $26.30 and description of flat-rate pay. So we can have

  Pay

  with paragraph(s) describing pay range and flat-rate. We have Responsibilities list: bullet list of duties. So

  Responsibilities

  with
  • each. We have Minimum Qualifications: list of abilities. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can use Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Minimum Qualifications likely go under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put under

    Requirements

    with
    . Preferred Qualifications: could go under

    Qualifications

    or maybe Skills. But we already used Requirements for minimum; we could have Qualifications for preferred. Or combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Minimum and Preferred into one Qualifications section? But they are distinct. However we could have a single "Qualifications" section with both minimum and preferred, but we need to preserve all info. Could do

    Qualifications

    with two sub-lists? But we only allowed
    • for any list. Could have nested? Probably okay to have separate
      for minimum and preferred within same section, but that might be considered thin? Might be okay. Benefits: "Our Crew Knows Benefits" list: Medical, Dental and Vision – Starting day 1 for all our teammates; Paid vacation and holidays; On-the-job training and company-funded ASE certifications; Flexible work schedule; 401(k) match; On demand pay (daily pay) program available. So we can have

      Benefits

      with
      . Also there is "Professional Development", "Community Involvement", "Integrity & Teamwork", "Free to Be", "What We Offer". Those could be considered benefits or additional sections but they are more like values. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine those into Benefits or maybe omit if they are boilerplate? They are not boilerplate but they are more about culture. However they might be considered "Values" not required headings. The allowed headings list does not include Values. So we could either omit them or incorporate into Benefits or About the role? Probably better to omit as they are not strictly required and could be considered thin. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. If we omit them, we lose info. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Those values sections are not boilerplate but they are not in the allowed heading list. The instruction says "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "Use

      for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are typical but we could use others? However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't forbid other headings, but the examples given are the typical ones. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to map all content into those headings. We have content: Company Overview (could be part of About the role? maybe not). Could be included in About the role as introductory paragraph about company. That's okay. Position Summary -> About the role. Pay Range -> Pay. Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. Minimum Qualifications -> Requirements. Preferred Qualifications -> Qualifications (or Skills). We'll use Qualifications. Benefits -> Benefits. What about "Our Crew Knows Benefits" includes training etc. That's benefits. What about "Professional Development", "Community Involvement", "Integrity & Teamwork", "Free to Be", "What We Offer"? Those could be considered part of Benefits or maybe Qualifications/Skills? They are more about culture and values. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit, we lose info. However maybe they are considered boilerplate? Not exactly. But they are repetitive of earlier statements about values. The earlier part already had similar language about "We believe people can only provide superior service..." etc. Those sections repeat similar ideas. So maybe they are duplicated lines? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. Those sections may be considered duplicated content (they repeat the same values). So we could drop them as duplicates. Let's examine: The earlier part includes: "We believe people can only provide superior service and quality to others when they are allowed to bring their whole self to work and know they are supported. We believe in championing all perspectives, individuals and teams because we understand the importance of seeing the world and our business through many different lenses. So, show us what you are made of. Show us the smart stuff, the tough stuff, the bold, beautiful and brave stuff. Because who you are is what we need." Then later under "OUR VALUES GIVE BACK TO YOU" they list Professional Development, Community Involvement, Integrity & Teamwork, Free to Be, What We Offer. Those are more detailed but still about values. Could be considered not duplicated but additional detail. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Creating separate sections for each of those would be thin. So we could incorporate them into Benefits or About the role as a paragraph summarizing values. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can rephrase but not lose detail. Summarizing might be considered summarizing away detail? The instruction says "do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot summarize; we must keep the detail. However we could incorporate them as a list under Benefits? But they are not benefits exactly. Could we put them under a section like "Qualifications"? No. Maybe we can create a section "About the role" that includes company overview, position summary, and values statements. That would preserve all detail as prose. That seems acceptable: we can put all prose paragraphs under About the role, and then separate sections for Pay, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. That would preserve all info without creating many thin sections. Thus final HTML:
