We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting:
- "Your Impact at Lowe's As a Customer Service Associate..." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that content.
- "How We Support You" includes benefits info: health insurance, tuition assistance, 401(k), employee stock purchase, 10% discount, Track to the Trades. That's benefits. Also mentions competitive pay and flexible schedules but not specific numbers. Since we cannot create Pay or Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It mentions "competitive pay and flexible schedules" but not specifics. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have specifics, so we can include Benefits section. Pay and Schedule we should not create because only generic mention.
- "Your Day at Lowe's" describes duties. That's Responsibilities.
- "Key Responsibilities" list bullet points. That's also responsibilities.
- "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" are qualifications. Could be Requirements? The spec includes Requirements and Qualifications sections. We can combine: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications? Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications? Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). We'll follow that.
- Skills: maybe from Preferred Qualifications: bilingual skills, certification in trade related to department. Could be Skills section.
- About Lowe's: company overview. Could be "About the role"? Already used. Could be separate "About Lowe's" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed. So we must fit content into those headings. "About Lowe's" maybe goes under "About the role"? But that is about the role, not company. However we could put company info under "About the role" as well? Might be okay. But we need to preserve all substantive information. We could include a paragraph about Lowe's under "About the role" heading.
- Travel Requirements, Working Conditions: these could be part of Responsibilities? Not exactly. Could be under Responsibilities? Or maybe we create a section "Responsibilities" that includes duties and also working conditions? But the spec says use headings only for those categories. We could put travel and working conditions under Responsibilities as part of prose.
- EEO boilerplate should be removed.
- Duplicate "About Lowe’s" appears twice; we need to preserve but not duplicate? We should preserve all substantive information but not repeat duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate.
- Starting rate of pay may vary... that's generic; we should not create Pay section.
- For information regarding our benefit programs... that's a link; we already have benefits section.
Thus sections:
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.

- For information regarding our benefit programs... that's a link; we already have benefits section.
Thus sections:
About the role
: combine "Your Impact at Lowe's..." and company overview (About Lowe's) maybe.
Responsibilities
: combine "Your Day at Lowe's..." and "Key Responsibilities" bullet list.
Requirements
: Minimum Qualifications bullet list.
Qualifications
: Preferred Qualifications bullet list.
Skills
: maybe bilingual skills, certification in trade related to department. Could be part of Qualifications but we have separate Skills heading allowed. We'll extract those.
Benefits
: list of benefits.
We must not include Pay or Schedule.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus:
- About the role: prose paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: prose paragraph for "Your Day at Lowe's..." then a
for Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: for Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: for Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe for bilingual skills and certification.
- Benefits: for benefits list.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions (like "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit ...") Actually that is a link; we might keep it as part of benefits? It's a reference. The instruction says remove application instructions. That link is not exactly application instruction but it's a reference for benefits. Might be okay to keep as part of benefits? It's not an application instruction. However it's a URL; we could keep as plain text.
We also need to remove duplicated "About Lowe’s" block. We'll include only once.
Let's extract content.

"Your Day at Lowe's As a Customer Service Associate, you will welcome customers to Lowe's and help them find the right products and services for their home improvement needs. You will interact with customers throughout the day, help them find and select products, occasionally load merchandise, and ensure all customer needs are met.

That's responsibilities prose.
"Key Responsibilities Welcome customers to Lowe's, answer questions, and deliver friendly and professional customer service. Assist customers with locating and handling merchandiseDown stock merchandise by looking for empty areas on shelves and replenishing suppliesProcess orders and deliveries accurately so customers receive merchandise as expected and on timeCross-functionally train in other areas of the store to help deliver the best customer servicePrepare merchandise in your department based on customer needs (e.g., tint and mix paint, cut and thread pipe, cut and bundle wood, cut drywall, cut blinds)Guide customers through shopping or checkoutComplete other duties as assigned"
Note there are missing spaces; we need to parse as list items. We'll split by periods? Actually each responsibility seems separated by a period but missing spaces. We'll just create list items manually:
- Welcome customers to Lowe's, answer questions, and deliver friendly and professional customer service.
- Assist customers with locating and handling merchandise.
- Down stock merchandise by looking for empty areas on shelves and replenishing supplies.
- Process orders and deliveries accurately so customers receive merchandise as expected and on time.

- Prepare merchandise in your department based on customer needs (e.g., tint and mix paint, cut and thread pipe, cut and bundle wood, cut drywall, cut blinds).

"Lowe's commitment to growth and teamwork extends to the community as well. To better equip our stores and serve our communities, we strongly encourage bilingual, military, and veteran talent to apply and join our team."
That's maybe a note; could be part of Skills or Qualifications? It's about encouraging bilingual etc. Could be included in Skills? We'll maybe add a note under Skills or Qualifications. But we already have bilingual skills in Preferred Qualifications. We'll keep that.
"Travel Requirements This role does not require regular travel; however, this role may need to travel occasionally to meetings, training, or to support neighboring stores."
That's travel; could be part of Responsibilities? We'll add a sentence under Responsibilities prose.
"Working Conditions Environmental factors vary by location. You may be working in both inside and outside weather conditions. Exposure to varying climates, including extreme heat or cold, wet, damp, humid, windy, or drafty conditions, is possible. You may be exposed to constant or intermittent noises in addition to moving or shaking objects and equipment. Lifting methods vary based on role, weight, and volume. Associates must follow guidelines, limiting single lifts to 75 pounds. Team lifts are used minimally starting at 75 pounds or when needed. Powered equipment should be used as required, with proper training or assistance from a trained coworker."
Add to Responsibilities prose.

Then duplicate later with updated numbers (FORTUNE® 100, FY2025 sales $86B, 530 branches and 130 distribution centers). We need to preserve all substantive information but not duplicate lines. So we need to combine both? The duplicate includes slightly different numbers. We should include both sets of info? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep both versions? But they are overlapping; we could combine into a single paragraph that includes both sets of data, but that might be summarizing. However we could keep both paragraphs as they are not identical; they have different numbers. So we should keep both, but avoid duplication of
