Counter Sales
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
First, the posting starts: "PARR is the total source for homebuilding supplies, solutions, and services. We focus on supplying building materials and solutions to professional home builders of all sizes including custom builders, large production builders, and multifamily builders. Our customers and community members know that they can rely on us for Legendary Service and quality products. Pay: $21.02 - $25.50 The Counter Salesperson is the first person that a customer sees when they walk into any of the retail locations. This means that the Counter Salesperson is in many cases the face of the company for customers and should demonstrate our FACE values. This position’s main duty is providing sales assistance to walk in and telephone customers. As time allows, they receive and stock inventory and perform general clean up and merchandising of the store. Directly reports to Yard Manager. Interacts daily with General Manager, Assistant Manager, Location Supervisor, Operational Inventory Controller (OIC), Contractor Salespeople, delivery people and internal & external customers."
Then sections: Duties And Responsibilities (with subheadings Teamwork, Communication, Job Knowledge, Safety). Then Qualifications, Interpersonal Skills, Working Conditions, Physical Requirements, Benefits, then more about PARR Promotes! etc.
We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications?). Qualifications (maybe separate). Skills (maybe Interpersonal Skills). Benefits (explicit). Pay (explicit). Schedule (maybe not present; we have working conditions but not schedule specifics; we have "Most of our locations are not open past 5 and all our locations are closed on Sundays." That could be schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Counter Salesperson.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's none obvious.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text.
We need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we can combine some sections: maybe About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Skills (interpersonal skills). Benefits (list). Pay (maybe just a paragraph). Schedule (maybe a paragraph). Could also include Working Conditions and Physical Requirements as part of Responsibilities? But they are separate; but we could incorporate them under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Working Conditions". However the instruction says use headings for those specific categories; but we can decide to include only those that have content. We have content for Working Conditions and Physical Requirements. Should we create separate sections? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No explicit Working Conditions or Physical Requirements. So we need to map that info into existing headings. Perhaps Working Conditions could go under Responsibilities or About the role? Physical Requirements could go under Requirements? Or we could create a section "Requirements" that includes qualifications and physical requirements. But we also have a separate Qualifications heading for education/skills. Might be overlapping.
Better to follow typical job posting structure: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education, experience, certifications), Skills (interpersonal, technical), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Thus we can put Qualifications under Requirements (or separate). But we have both Qualifications and Interpersonal Skills sections. We could treat Qualifications as Requirements (education, experience, licenses) and Interpersonal Skills as Skills.
Thus:
- About the role: intro paragraph describing PARR and role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (teamwork, communication, job knowledge, safety). Could be a single list or grouped.
- Requirements: education (HS diploma/GED), ability to operate POS, typing speed, proficiency in MS Office, driver's license preferred, ability to speak English, knowledge of retail sales, dimension lumber, ten-key, concentration, OSHA forklift preferred, etc. Also physical requirements? Might be separate but we can include physical requirements under Requirements as well.
- Skills: Interpersonal Skills list (ability to work cordially, professional, confidentiality, identify improvements, communicate with all levels, focus/planning/organization, ability to function independently/team/leader, think/respond quickly, manage stress, etc.)
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: paragraph with pay range.
- Schedule: paragraph about working hours (not open past 5, closed Sundays).
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to ensure we don't repeat info.
Let's extract substantive info.

We need to output these as
- items. Could group under subheadings? But we only allowed

? But instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (list). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we should stick to those headings only. So we can have one Responsibilities section with a containing all duties. That's okay.
