We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.

Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee. All inquiries about employment at this franchisee should be made directly to the franchise location, and not to FASTSIGNS Corporate."
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The above includes "Apply today!" and "Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." That's application instructions? Possibly we should remove "Apply today!" and "Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." Also the franchisee details maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove any lines that are application instructions like "Apply today!" and "Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." Also maybe the franchisee details are not application instructions but could be considered boilerplate? It's about the franchise being independently owned; might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. However it's not EEO etc. Might keep as part of About the role? It's not a duty. Could be considered "About the role" prose. But we can include a short paragraph about the role context.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief paragraph summarizing the role: "FASTSIGNS #292001 is hiring for a Full-time Graphic Designer to join our team!" That's the intro. Could be placed as About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe combine Ideal Qualifications? The spec says we can have Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements are mandatory (experience, education). Qualifications could be preferred skills. But we can just put all under Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both sections possible, we need to include only if we have real specific content. We have Ideal Qualifications list. Could treat as Requirements. Could also have Skills section for proficiencies like Adobe Illustrator, ability to prioritize, etc. But we can combine.
We need to avoid thin sections. Let's create:
- About the role: a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: ul li list.
- Requirements: ul li list (experience, education, ability to sit long periods, ability to work under pressure, etc.)
- Skills: maybe ul li list (Adobe Illustrator proficiency, ability to determine output method, etc.)
- Benefits: ul li list (Competitive Pay, Paid Vacation and Holiday, Performance Bonus, Ongoing Training Opportunities).
We should not create Pay or Schedule sections because not specified separately (Competitive Pay is in Benefits). So we skip Pay and Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet exactly as in posting? We can rephrase slightly but must preserve meaning. Probably better to copy the sentences.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet points exactly as sentences (some are long). We'll keep them.
Responsibilities list:
- Create computer-generated full-color graphics and/or vinyl output that can be printed and mounted to a substrate or weeded, cut and applied
- Complete or modify designs from customer drawings, files, or exact output of customer-provided design for output to media
- Determine size and arrangement of illustrative material and copy, select style and size of type, and arrange layout based upon available space, aesthetic design, and production requirements.
- Inspect jobs for accuracy before sending them to output. Ensure correct material is used for each job and output device settings are accurate
- Maintain customer logo library; convert graphic files
- Follow a layout to place computer-cut vinyl or full-color graphic image(s) on a predetermined substrate or medium
- Prepare substrates for vinyl application to include cutting, painting, laminating, cleaning, etc
- Weed excess vinyl from computer-cut images. Weeding techniques vary with size, type of vinyl, and complexity of images
- Operate and maintain printer(s)
- Perform quality assurance measures pre- and post-production by accurately reading and interpreting a Work Order and then proofing for errors or unacceptable standards
- Perform finishing operations such as laminating and/or mounting of printed pieces
- Report inventory levels and stock to be reordered to the center manager/production manager or franchisee.
- Clean and maintain storage areas
Now Requirements: from Ideal Qualifications list:
- 1-2 years of graphic design experience
- High School diploma or equivalent
- Proficient in Adobe Illustrator
- Ability to prioritize jobs, multi-task, and work autonomously
- Determine the best output method based on the customer’s needs
- Sit and view a computer screen for long periods (4 hours or more)
- Ability to work under pressure to output high volume, high-quality work
But note "Proficient in Adobe Illustrator" could be skill. We'll split.
Skills: maybe:
- Proficient in Adobe Illustrator
- Ability to prioritize jobs, multi-task, and work autonomously
- Ability to determine the best output method based on the customer’s needs
- Ability to sit and view a computer screen for long periods (4 hours or more)
- Ability to work under pressure to output high volume, high-quality work
Requirements: maybe:
- 1-2 years of graphic design experience
- High School diploma or equivalent
But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can't drop any. So we need to include all items somewhere. We'll put experience and education under Requirements, and the rest under Skills.
Benefits list:
- Competitive Pay
- Paid Vacation and Holiday
- Performance Bonus
- Ongoing Training Opportunities
Now About the role: we can include a paragraph: "FASTSIGNS #292001 is hiring for a Full-time Graphic Designer to join our team!" plus maybe some description about the role being in a franchise etc? But we should avoid boilerplate. The franchise details maybe considered boilerplate but could be part of About the role? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The franchise details are not those categories, but they are somewhat generic. However they are substantive? They describe the franchise being independently owned, application goes to franchisee, etc. That might be considered application instructions? It's about where application goes. Might be considered application instructions. Safer to remove that paragraph. Also remove "Apply today!" and "Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." Also remove the motivational questions? Those are not boilerplate but they are promotional; they might be considered part of the posting but not essential duties. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The motivational questions are substantive? They are part of the posting but not duties/requirements/benefits. Could be considered fluff but still part of posting. However we might include them in About the role as prose. But they are questions to candidate. Might be okay.
But we need to avoid duplication. There's also "At FASTSIGNS, every day is unique and presents exciting opportunities, including new ways to use your talent and grow your skills. We have a large network of independently owned locations - both locally and internationally - who offer competitive pay and ongoing training opportunities." That's somewhat generic but still substantive about benefits and opportunities. Could be part of About the role.
We need to decide what to keep. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove explicit application instructions like "Apply today!" and "Learn more by exploring the positions offered by FASTSIGNS centers." Also maybe the franchisee details about where application goes is application instructions. So remove that.
The motivational questions and the "At FASTSIGNS, every day is unique..." could be considered part of the role description, not application instructions. So we can keep them in About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph could be:
"FASTSIGNS #292001 is hiring for a Full-time Graphic Designer to join our team! Do you enjoy working with people? Do you enjoy helping people solve problems by offering advice and consultation? Are you looking for a job that offers constant learning, skills growth and a career path? If so, we are looking for employees just like you in the ever-changing Sign Industry. At FASTSIGNS, every day is unique and presents exciting opportunities, including new ways to use your talent and grow your skills. We have a large network of independently owned locations - both locally and internationally - who offer competitive pay and ongoing training opportunities."
That seems to preserve all substantive non-boilerplate content.
