- Then duplicate "About Lowe’s Lowe's Companies, Inc.

Lowe's employs approximately 300,000 associates and operates over 1,700 home improvement stores, 530 branches and 130 distribution centers. Based in Mooresville, N.C., Lowe's supports the communities it serves through programs focused on creating safe, affordable housing, improving community spaces, helping to develop the next generation of skilled trade experts and providing disaster relief to communities in need. For more information, visit Lowes.com."
- Then EEO boilerplate: "Lowe’s is an equal opportunity employer..." remove.
- Then "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience. For information regarding our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits."
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role (intro and impact) maybe "About the role" heading.
- Responsibilities: "Key Responsibilities" and also "Your Day at Lowe's" (daily responsibilities). Could combine.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not explicit; we could include "Preferred Qualifications" as Skills? But we have separate sections for Qualifications and Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraph(s) about impact and how we support you? Possibly combine "Your Impact at Lowe's" and "How We Support You". That is about role and support.
- Responsibilities: "Your Day at Lowe's" and "Key Responsibilities". Could be combined.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not present; we could omit if no specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if no skills section, omit.
- Benefits: we have benefits described in "How We Support You": health insurance, tuition assistance, 401(k) match, ESPP, 10% discount, Track to the Trades. Also link to benefits. So we can create Benefits section.
- Pay: we have "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors..." That's not specific pay amount, but it's about pay. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (starting rate may vary). That's still stating something about pay, albeit not a specific number. Is that considered "states them"? It mentions pay but not a specific figure. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (starting rate may vary). So we could include Pay section with that sentence. However we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. This is similar but maybe acceptable. It says "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience." That's substantive (though vague). I'd include.
- Schedule: we have mention of part-time or full-time? In "How We Support You": "Whether you need a part-time position or a place to plant yourself and grow". Also "flexible schedules". So schedule info present. Could create Schedule section with that.
But we need to avoid duplication and boilerplate.
We also have Travel Requirements and Working Conditions. Those could be under Responsibilities? Or maybe separate sections like "Travel" and "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those eight. So we should incorporate travel and working conditions into appropriate sections, maybe Responsibilities or About the role? Probably Responsibilities (since they describe job conditions). Could add a paragraph under Responsibilities.
We also have "About Lowe’s" company description. That could be under About the role? Or maybe a separate "About Lowe's" but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role or maybe omit? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep company description. Where to put? Could be under About the role (makes sense). Or we could add a separate section like "About the Company" but not allowed. So we incorporate into About the role.
We also have duplicate About Lowe’s paragraphs (two versions with slightly different numbers). We need to deduplicate. Keep the substantive info: both have similar but different numbers (FORTUNE 50 vs 100, FY2024 sales $83B vs FY2025 $86B, plus branches and distribution centers). We should keep both? They are duplicated but with different numbers; they are not identical. We should preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both sets of info. Could combine into a paragraph that mentions both? But that would be summarizing. Better to keep both paragraphs as they are, but they are repetitive. However they are not identical; they contain different specifics. We could keep both as separate paragraphs under About the role.
We also have "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." appears twice; we can keep once.
Now let's craft HTML.
