Counter Sales
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description (intro), responsibilities list, qualifications list, About First Supply (company description). There's mention of competitive compensation, excellent benefits, opportunities for advancement but no specific numbers. So we cannot create Pay or Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "competitive compensation, excellent benefits and opportunities for advancement." That's vague, not specific. According to rule: 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. Since it's vague, we should not create Benefits or Pay sections. Schedule not mentioned. Skills maybe implied but not explicit list; we have qualifications list includes Good computer knowledge, organizational skills, ability to work fast paced, functional capacities evaluation, ability to travel limited basis. Those could be considered qualifications/requirements. We could have a Requirements section (maybe same as Qualifications). The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: could be the introductory paragraph describing role: "First Supply is looking for enthusiastic personalities... In the Counter Sales role you interact with customers..." That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with paragraph(s).
- Responsibilities: we have a list after "Responsibilities". So include Responsibilities
with - each.
- Qualifications: we have a list after "Qualifications". So include
Qualifications
with - .
- About First Supply: company description. Could be under
About First Supply
but allowed headings list includes "About the role" not "About First Supply". However we could treat as "About the role"? No. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. So we can add other headings if appropriate? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those specific headings only. But we could also include "About First Supply" as a heading? Might be considered not in list but maybe okay. Safer to stick to given headings. We have content about the role (intro), responsibilities, qualifications. There's also "About First Supply" which is company overview; could be placed under "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be under "About the role" but that's about role not company. However we could treat "About First Supply" as part of the role description? Might be okay to include as a paragraph under About the role. But we might lose some info. Better to include a separate heading like "About First Supply". The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies we can use those headings, but not prohibited to use others. However to be safe, we could use "About First Supply" as a heading.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. So we need to strip the EEO paragraph at end.
Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So include the intro paragraphs, responsibilities list, qualifications list, About First Supply description.
Let's extract substantive content:
