for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting.

We need to decide sections: Pay, Benefits, About the role (maybe POSITION OVERVIEW), Responsibilities (the tasks list), Requirements (the bullet list), maybe Skills? The posting includes characteristics like Collaboration, Customer Focus, Initiative, Organizational Skills, Technology Skills. Those could be considered Skills or Qualifications. We could group them under Skills or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content.
We have Pay content: yes.
Benefits content: yes (gig leave, medical, dental, vision, 401K, mental health support, paid sick/holiday/vacation, employee discount, tuition reimbursement). So Benefits section.
About the role: POSITION OVERVIEW is about role. Could be "About the role". We'll include that.
Responsibilities: The list of tasks (inventory control, shipping/receiving, cycle counting, stocking/merchandising, signage, cash handling, shrink awareness, additional duties). That's responsibilities.
Requirements: The bullet list (Microsoft Office, loud environment, weekends/holidays/evenings, lift 40 lbs). That's requirements.
Skills/Qualifications: The characteristics (Collaboration, Customer Focus, Initiative, Organizational Skills, Technology Skills). Could be under Skills or Qualifications. We need to decide which heading to use. Since they are more like competencies/skills, we could use Skills. Or Qualifications. The instruction says we can use any of those headings. We'll pick Skills.
We should not include Schedule because no schedule info.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove EEO boilerplate and application instructions (the accommodation request). That's boilerplate; remove.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any detail.
Now format:
Pay
Pay Rate: $11.70/hr - $17.55/hr depending on background and experience. The job posting is not necessarily reflective of actual compensation that may be earned, nor a promise of any specific pay for any specific employee, which is always dependent on actual experience, education, and other factors. The pay range(s) listed are provided in compliance with state specific laws. Pay ranges may be different in other locations.
But note: The instruction says remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The pay disclaimer about not reflective of actual compensation might be considered boilerplate? It's part of pay description; but it's a disclaimer. It's not EEO. It's still part of pay info. Should we keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The pay disclaimer is legal? It's a disclaimer about pay not being guaranteed. Might be considered legal boilerplate. However, it's part of the pay rate description; but we could keep the core pay range and maybe drop the disclaimer? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The disclaimer is substantive? It's a legal disclaimer; but it's not about the job itself. It's a standard disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate. However, it's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but it's similar to legal. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. So we should remove that sentence. Keep only the pay range and maybe the note about compliance with state specific laws and location differences? Those are also legal. Might be considered boilerplate too. But the pay range is the substantive info. The rest is legal disclaimer. I'd keep just the pay range: "Pay Rate: $11.70/hr - $17.55/hr depending on background and experience." Possibly also note that pay ranges may be different in other locations? That's also a disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep only the core pay range.
Thus Pay section: Pay Rate: $11.70/hr - $17.55/hr depending on background and experience.
Benefits: We need to list benefits. Could be a list.
Benefits paragraph: "Why Guitar Center? Here’s just some of the rewards: For our employees who are musicians we offer the unique opportunity of gig leave—take time off to share your music with the world and return to your job after your tour! Guitar Center offers robust benefits and perks, including Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K plus company match, mental health support, paid sick/holiday/vacation time, employee discount program, and tuition reimbursement options."
We could turn into a list: gig leave, Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K plus company match, mental health support, paid sick/holiday/vacation time, employee discount program, tuition reimbursement options.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So include gig leave description.
Thus:
Benefits
- Gig leave – time off to share your music with the world and return after your tour (for musician employees)
- Medical
- Dental
- Vision
- 401K plus company match
- Mental health support
- Paid sick, holiday, and vacation time

About the role: Use POSITION OVERVIEW text.

Our mission is to develop and nurture lifelong musicians and make a difference in the world by enabling musicians and non-musicians alike to experience the joy that comes from creating music. We believe in creating inclusive environments that put our customers first all the while fulfilling our mission.

We could keep as paragraph.
Thus:
