We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, remove boilerplate: "Apply now » Start apply with LinkedIn Apply Now Please wait..." etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, EEO, etc.
We need to preserve substantive info: Brand: Walman, Location: Evansville, IN, US, 47710, Requisition ID: 946740Store #: WM0088 Optical Order Entry EVANS Position: Full-Time Total Rewards: Benefits/Incentive Information Since 1915... etc.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe basic qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe similar?), Skills (maybe specific skills), Benefits (if mentioned), Pay (if mentioned), Schedule (if mentioned). We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We need to see if Pay is mentioned: "Employee pay is determined by multiple factors, including geography, experience, qualifications, skills and local minimum wage requirements. In addition, you may also be offered a competitive bonus and/or commission plan, which complements a first-class total rewards package." That's some pay info but not specific numbers. It says pay determined by factors, competitive bonus/commission. Is that considered specific enough? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". This is somewhat vague but not exactly placeholder; it's a statement about determination. Might be acceptable? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Pay section with that statement.
Schedule: "Position: Full-Time". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with "Full-Time".
Benefits: "Benefits may include health care, retirement savings, paid time off/vacation, and various employee discounts." Also "Total Rewards: Benefits/Incentive Information". So we can include Benefits section with that list.
Now About the role: Could be the GENERAL FUNCTION paragraph: "The Customer Service Representative (Order Clerk) is responsible for building and maintaining customer and vendor relationships and to manage request for quotations, stock orders, returns and purchase orders, and coordinating with other departments to provide the best possible service to the customer." That's a good summary.
Responsibilities: list of Major Duties And Responsibilities (the bullet-like sentences). We'll need to convert to
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

Now About the role: Could be the GENERAL FUNCTION paragraph: "The Customer Service Representative (Order Clerk) is responsible for building and maintaining customer and vendor relationships and to manage request for quotations, stock orders, returns and purchase orders, and coordinating with other departments to provide the best possible service to the customer." That's a good summary.
Responsibilities: list of Major Duties And Responsibilities (the bullet-like sentences). We'll need to convert to - .
Requirements: maybe "Basic Qualifications" list: high school diploma, 1+ year experience, etc. That's qualifications. Could be Requirements section.
Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Might duplicate. We could combine. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide to include only those with content.
We have content for About the role (general function). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (basic qualifications). Skills (maybe "Excellent telephone etiquette... Strong verbal and written communication skills... Good organizational skills... Basic PC skills including MS Office; Word and Excel... Ability to lift/move up to 40 pounds"). That's skills.
Qualifications maybe could be same as Requirements? But we could treat Requirements as education/experience, Qualifications as skills? However they'd overlap. Better to follow typical: Requirements = education/experience, Qualifications = maybe additional qualifications? But we have only one list. Could put that list under Requirements and skip Qualifications. Or we could put under Qualifications and skip Requirements. Which is more appropriate? The posting says "Basic Qualifications". So that is qualifications. So we can use
Qualifications
for that list. Then we could have Requirements maybe empty; better to omit.
Skills: we can extract specific skills: telephone etiquette, composure, verbal/written communication, organizational skills, detail orientation, numerical accuracy, PC skills MS Office Word Excel, ability to lift 40 lbs.
Benefits: list.
Pay: statement about pay determination and bonus/commission.
Schedule: Full-Time.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not include.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Since 1915, Walman Optical has served thousands..." etc. That's about the company; maybe belongs in About the role? Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But we only have allowed headings; we could put that info under About the role as part of description. However About the role heading is for role description; but we can include company overview there as it's substantive. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings; we can include company info under About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading; we already not.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
