We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where content exists. Must use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid headings with filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Also never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have content about 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 link to benefits page. Thus Benefits section exists. Pay: The posting mentions "competitive pay" but not specific numbers. 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 vague, not a specific pay figure. The rule: never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It mentions competitive pay but not a specific amount. Likely we should not create Pay section because no concrete pay info. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Benefits we have specifics. Pay we have only generic statement; maybe we should omit Pay section. Schedule: The posting mentions "flexible schedules" but no specifics. So we should not create Schedule section. Now sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe combine? The posting includes "Preferred Qualifications" which includes skills like bilingual, certification, etc. Could treat as Skills. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications) and Skills maybe separate if we have skill-specific content. The posting includes "Preferred Qualifications" with items like experience, certification, bilingual. Could treat as Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed if we already have Qualifications. But we could still include Skills if we want to separate skill-based items like bilingual, certification, etc. However we must not create thin sections. Better to combine preferred qualifications into Qualifications section. Skills maybe not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). Must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, duplicated lines, application instructions (like "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits.") That's actually part of benefits info; we might keep the link? The instruction: remove application instructions. The link to benefits is not exactly application instruction; it's info about benefits. Might keep as part of benefits prose. However the sentence "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." appears twice (once earlier, once later). It's duplicated. We should keep one instance maybe. But we need to preserve substantive info; the link is substantive. We'll include it once. Also there is "About Lowe's" and "About Lowe’s" duplicated with slightly different text. That's boilerplate company description; maybe we should remove as it's not specific to the role? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Lowe's" sections are duplicated and generic company info; could be considered boilerplate. However they might be considered substantive? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should remove the duplicated About Lowe's paragraphs. Keep maybe one? But they are duplicated with slight differences (FY 2023 vs FY 2025). Might be considered boilerplate; but we could keep one as it's about the company. However the instruction says remove duplicated lines, not necessarily all company description. But to be safe, we could keep a concise About Lowe's paragraph? However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The About Lowe's is not a required heading; we could include it under About the role? Actually About the role heading is for role description, not company. We could include a short paragraph about company under About the role or maybe not include a separate section. The posting includes "Your Impact at Lowe's" intro, then "How We Support You", then "Your Day at Lowe's", then "Key Responsibilities", then "Minimum Qualifications", then "Preferred Qualifications", then some community encouragement, then Travel Requirements, Working Conditions, About Lowe's (twice), then EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. The company description may be considered substantive but it's generic. However we might include it under About the role or maybe not include a separate section. Since we have no heading for company, we could incorporate it into About the role paragraph (the intro). But the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow that. We could add an

    About Lowe's? Not in list but could be okay? The list is examples; but we should stick to those headings. Better to incorporate company info into About the role paragraph. Thus we will craft:

    About the role

    Your Impact at Lowe's As a Sales Specialist, you will be one of the first people our customers meet. Your sales expertise can help customers find the products they need and encourage them to transform a great project idea into reality. If you enjoy helping people and solving problems in a fast-paced environment, this is the perfect role for you.

    But we also have "How We Support You" and "Your Day at Lowe's" which are substantive. Could we include them under About the role as additional paragraphs? Probably yes, to avoid many thin sections. We'll combine them into About the role section. Thus About the role will contain multiple paragraphs: impact, how we support you, your day at Lowe's. Now Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities". We'll extract each sentence as list items. Responsibilities list: - Provide SMART customer service by seeking out customers to understand their needs, answer questions, and communicate the advantages of Lowe's products and services - Serve as a point of contact for customers and vendors within your department, providing project estimates, scheduling installer visits, processing and tracking customer orders/installations, and following up to ensure project completion. - If in the Pro Department, focus on external accounts and outside sales and services - Monitor inventory levels to support sales, working with vendors and other stores to find merchandise and order replacement stock - Perform price reviews by pricing policies and ensure maintenance of pricing and documentation - Support all checkout functions, call buttons, departmental pages, or requests for assistance - Train associates in the department by conducting on-the-job training on the Sales floor and coaching around development needs - Complete other duties as assigned We need to preserve all substantive info; keep as is. Now Requirements (minimum qualifications): list: - High School Diploma or GED - 1 year experience in customer-facing sales or 6 months of Lowe’s retail experience (Or 3 years of external experience in customer-facing sales or 18 months of Lowe’s retail experience if education requirement is not met) - 1 year of experience in sales or customer service in a sales environment with required sales goals or metrics - 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 in your state (Lowe's will support and fund this requirement) We should keep as list. Now Qualifications (preferred qualifications): list: - 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 Also there is encouragement for bilingual, military, veteran talent; but that's more of a statement. Could include as a paragraph maybe under Qualifications? But it's not a qualification per se. Could add a paragraph after list: "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." Now Benefits: list: - 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 mention "As a Lowe's associate, you'll gain access to a variety of benefits beyond competitive pay and flexible schedules." Could be intro paragraph. Also include link: "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." We should include that as a paragraph. Now we need to avoid duplication: The benefits list includes similar items; we keep. Now we need to ensure we don't include Pay or Schedule sections. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:
