or drop it." Also "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The posting includes "We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 23 Sep 2026". That's application instruction? It's a date; maybe we can fold into a short
as metadata. But they said "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a paragraph with that date. We need sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph about Medtronic). Responsibilities (list). Requirements/Qualifications (list). Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present (though mentions flexible schedule). They said: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." There's mention of flexible schedule, but not explicit schedule details. Might be considered schedule? It says "Able to work flexible schedule as business needs dictate". That's schedule info. Could we create a Schedule section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state flexible schedule, so we could include a Schedule section with that statement. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to incorporate schedule info into Responsibilities or About the role. But schedule is a separate aspect; but we can include a short paragraph under About the role. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:

Then "Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned."
Then list of responsibilities under headings: Field Inventory Management, Account Consignment Inventory Management, Other Job Duties.
We need to capture each bullet.

Qualifications - External Must Have: Minimum Requirements Bachelors degree required
Then there is a truncated line: "
- for section headings, not subheadings. We could just have a single Responsibilities section with a
- list containing all duties. That's okay.
- Requirements/Qualifications: list (Bachelors degree required). Could also include other qualifications like driver's license, travel, location preference? Those are more like "Additional Information". Could be under Requirements or a separate section like "Qualifications". We'll treat them as Requirements.
- Additional Information: location, travel, driver's license. Could be part of Requirements or a separate section like "Additional Details". Since we prefer few substantive sections, we could merge location/travel/driver license into Requirements/Qualifications section as bullet points.
- Schedule: flexible schedule mentioned under Other Job Duties; we could keep it there.
Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
