We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job description. Given text: It's a job description for a food service role at Costco (maybe Food Court Associate). Contains: - Position Summary: "Responsible for preparing and selling food and drinks to customers. Pulls and stocks supplies and ingredients, cleans kitchen area and eating area. Provides a high level of member service." - Job Duties: long list of duties (preparing hot food, pizza, etc., cleaning, stocking, etc.) - Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees." - Pay: "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." No actual pay range given. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific pay info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated, so include Benefits. Pay not stated (just link). So omit Pay. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting includes some requirements: "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." "Assists with department duties as necessary." "Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary." "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Also maybe "Complies with health codes...". Those could be considered requirements/qualifications. There's no explicit "Requirements" heading but we can infer. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (job duties), Requirements (maybe combine ability to operate equipment, open availability, proof of authorization), Benefits (as given). Possibly Skills? Not explicit. Could include Skills under Responsibilities? But we can create a Skills section if there are specific skills listed: "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." "Follows department production and cash handling procedures and standards." "Complies with health codes...". Those could be skills. However we should avoid thin sections. Better to combine requirements and qualifications into one section maybe "Requirements". The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide what content maps to which heading. We have: - Position Summary -> About the role. - Job Duties -> Responsibilities. - Requirements: ability to operate vehicles/equipment/machinery, open availability, proof of authorization to work in US, compliance with health codes, etc. Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe not distinct; could be same as Requirements. But we could omit Qualifications if not distinct. - Skills: maybe not separate; could be included in Responsibilities. - Benefits: explicit. Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties listed, all requirements listed, benefits listed, and position summary. We must remove boilerplate: California applicants notice, "The jobs listed are examples...", "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." (that's a link but no pay info; we should remove that line? It's not substantive? It's a reference to pay ranges but no actual info; we should remove as per instruction: remove duplicated lines, application instructions. This line is like a link to pay ranges; it's not substantive pay info, but it's a reference. Probably we should remove it because it's not specific pay info. Also "Job Description Posting Updated: July 2026 Job Code: 004" is metadata; we should drop it (fold minor metadata into short p or drop). Since it's minor, we can drop. Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." That's a requirement. "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Requirement. "Complies with health codes, such as sanitation, temperatures, product rotation and expiration dates." Could be duty or requirement. "Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials." Duty. "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Requirement. "Assists with department duties as necessary." Duty. "Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary." Duty. Now we need to format. Let's extract position summary: "Responsible for preparing and selling food and drinks to customers. Pulls and stocks supplies and ingredients, cleans kitchen area and eating area. Provides a high level of member service." We'll put that in

    under About the role. Responsibilities: list all duties. We need to create

    • for each duty item. The duties are many sentences; we can split by sentences or semicolons. Better to keep each duty as a list item. We'll need to ensure we capture all duties. Let's list duties from the text: From "Job Duties" paragraph: - Prepares hot food. - Proofs, presses, stretches, sauces, and adds toppings to pizza. - Bakes food items in ovens. - Slices cooked pizza. - Places baked items in the warmer. - Steams hot dogs and buns. - Rings up sales, collects money, makes change. - Maintains and assists members with self-serve kiosks. - Places whole pizza orders from members at the counter and on the phone. - Assembles and presents orders to members. - Uses tongs to pick up hot food items. - Follows department production and cash handling procedures and standards. - Dispenses dessert and drink items such as ice cream, latte and smoothie. - Cleans, sanitizes, services, and refills dispensing machines. - Maintains self-serve soda pop area, condiment table and eating area. - Busses, cleans and sanitizes tables, sweeps and mops floors, empties trash. - Cleans and sanitizes the machines, work surfaces, floors, and counters. - Washes containers, pans and utensils in 3 compartment sink, power wash sink, or dishwasher. - Moves patio tables to clean the floor around tables. - Takes garbage to the trash compactor and operates the compactor. - Disassembles and deep cleans pizza oven according to department SOPs. - Follows safety and security procedures. - Pulls ingredients and supplies from the warehouse. - Stocks large volume ingredients to shelves, cooler and freezer. - Stages ingredients to the preparation area and refills dispensing machines. - Complies with health codes, such as sanitation, temperatures, product rotation and expiration dates. - Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials. - Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery. (Actually this is a requirement but appears in duties paragraph; we might treat as requirement.) - Assists with department duties as necessary. - Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary. We need to decide where to put "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." It's more a requirement/skill. We'll put under Requirements. Also "Complies with health codes..." could be duty or requirement; we can keep under Responsibilities as it's a duty. Now Requirements: list: - Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery. - Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business. - If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States. - Complies with health codes, such as sanitation, temperatures, product rotation and expiration dates. (maybe duplicate) But we already have that in duties; maybe we should not duplicate. Better to keep it only once. Since it's a duty, we can keep under Responsibilities and not repeat under Requirements. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can include it in both places if it's mentioned twice? It's only mentioned once in the duties paragraph. So we should not duplicate. So Requirements list: ability to operate vehicles/equipment/machinery; open availability; proof of authorization to work in US. Also maybe "Assists with department duties as necessary." and "Assists in other departments..." are duties. Now Benefits: list: - paid time off - health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance - health care reimbursement account - dependent care assistance plan - short-term disability and long-term disability insurance - AD&D insurance - life insurance - 401(k) - stock purchase plan to eligible employees We need to output as
      • each. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "California applicants: Please click here to review the Costco Applicant Privacy Notice." Remove. Also remove "The jobs listed are examples of the typical kinds of positions that Costco may hire for when openings exist. The listing does not mean that any positions are currently open or available at Costco." Remove. Also remove "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." Remove. Also remove "Job Description Posting Updated: July 2026 Job Code: 004." Remove. Now produce HTML. Structure:
