We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions benefits: "As a Lowe's associate, you'll gain access to a variety of benefits beyond competitive pay and flexible schedules. Earn more from your sales performance with additional bonus opportunities. Make your well-being a priority with multiple health insurance options. Explore educational opportunities with Lowe's tuition assistance program. Take charge of your financial future with a company-matching 401(k). Gain extra savings with a 10% Associate Discount. Learn new trade skills with our Track to the Trades program." Also mentions "competitive pay and flexible schedules". So we have some info about pay (competitive pay) and schedule (flexible schedules). However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state competitive pay and flexible schedules, and benefits are described. So we can include Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections, but need to ensure we have specific content, not just placeholder. We have specifics: multiple health insurance options, tuition assistance, 401(k) match, 10% associate discount, Track to the Trades, bonus opportunities. Pay: "competitive pay" (maybe not specific number). That's somewhat vague but it's stated. Schedule: "flexible schedules". That's also vague but stated. According to instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive pay" and "flexible schedules" might be considered vague but not exactly placeholder like "varies". It's still somewhat generic but it's actual statement. I'd include them.
We also need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting includes: "Your Impact at Lowe's As a Sales Specialist..." that's about role. Then "How We Support You" (benefits). Then "Your Day at Lowe's" (day-to-day). Then "Key Responsibilities". Then "Minimum Qualifications". Then "Preferred Qualifications". Then "Lowe's commitment to growth..." (maybe about community). Then "Travel Requirements". Then "Working Conditions". Then "About Lowe's" (company info). Then repeated "About Lowe’s". Then EEO statement. Then "Starting rate of pay may vary...". Then benefits link again.
We need to extract substantive info and organize into sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Sales Specialist. Not to use as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must drop cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we need to remove EEO paragraph, duplicated "About Lowe's" sections (maybe keep one concise version?), but we must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. However we can condense duplicated info? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit details, but we can remove duplicated lines (i.e., if same sentence appears twice, we can keep one). So we need to keep the substance but avoid duplication.
We need to decide what sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could combine "Your Impact at Lowe's As a Sales Specialist..." and "Your Day at Lowe's" maybe? But we have separate sections for About the role and Responsibilities. The "Your Impact" is more about role purpose. "Your Day at Lowe's" describes day-to-day activities. Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. But we need to follow instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings.
Thus:
About the role: description of role purpose, impact, maybe "Your Impact at Lowe's..." and "Your Day at Lowe's" (day-to-day). Could also include "As a Sales Specialist, you will be one of the first people our customers meet..." etc.
Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities" bullet points.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
Skills: maybe combine some skill-related items from Minimum/Preferred? But we have separate Skills heading; we could list skills like "Ability to read, write, perform basic arithmetic", "Ability to stand and sit for prolonged periods", "Ability to lift 25lbs", "Obtain sales-related licensure", etc. However those are more qualifications. The instruction says we can have Skills section; we need to decide if we have specific skill content. The posting includes "Able to Read, write, and perform basic arithmetic (addition and subtraction)", "Able to stand and sit for prolonged periods", "Minimally lift 25lbs unassisted or over 25lbs with or without an accommodation", "Obtain sales-related licensure or registration if required by law". Those could be considered skills. Also "Preferred Qualifications" includes "1 year of experience in completing customer sales orders", "1 Year Experience promoting product related services and plans such as installation, delivery, credit financing, or extended protection plan", "2 years of experience designing customized products for customers using 20/20 or Computer-Aided Design System", "Professional certification related to the department being considered", "Bi-lingual skills". Those could be skills or qualifications.
We need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and skill-based abilities under Skills.
Benefits: as described.
Pay: mention "competitive pay" and "additional bonus opportunities". Also "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience." That's more detail about pay.
Schedule: mention "flexible schedules". Also maybe "part-time position or a place to plant yourself and grow". That's about schedule flexibility.
Travel Requirements: maybe not a standard heading; we could ignore as not in list.
Working Conditions: also not in list; maybe we could incorporate into About the role? But instruction says only use those headings; we should not create other headings. So we should either omit working conditions or incorporate into existing sections if relevant. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could skip Working Conditions if not fitting. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit details. However we could embed working conditions details into About the role or Responsibilities? It's not exactly role or responsibilities but could be part of "About the role". Might be acceptable.
Travel Requirements: could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Not really. But we could omit if not fitting headings; but then we lose info. However maybe we can incorporate into "About the role" as note about travel occasionally.
We need to decide: The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It does not forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. ...)". It implies we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but likely they expect only those. Safer to stick to those headings and incorporate other info into them.
Thus we need to map:
- About the role: include role purpose, impact, day-to-day, working conditions, travel requirements maybe.
- Responsibilities: key responsibilities list.
- Requirements: minimum qualifications.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications.
- Skills: abilities like arithmetic, standing, lifting, licensure, bilingual? Actually bilingual is in preferred qualifications; we could keep there.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: competitive pay, bonus opportunities, starting rate variability.
- Schedule: flexible schedules, part-time/full-time options.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have none.
We must not repeat duplicated lines. We'll need to deduplicate.
Let's extract the text and create concise but complete representation.
