We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Overview: "Orders, replenishes and merchandises grocery products and participate in WFM program for purchasing and promotions. Monitors inventory control and replenishes product based upon WFM ordering standards. Assists in organizing and developing promotional displays and maintaining OTS standards. All Whole Foods Market Retail jobs require ensuring a positive company image by providing courteous, friendly, and efficient service to customers and Team Members at all times. All positions must be performed in accordance with team and store Standard Operating Procedures. Further, Team Members must be prepared and able to perform the duties inherent in other Team Member job descriptions. All positions must strive to support WFM core values and goals, promote national, regional, and store programs and initiatives, and ensure adherence to all applicable health and safety regulations including Food Safety and regulatory duties required in the department."
That could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Then there is a "Job Responsibilities" heading with bullet list.
Then "Job Skills" list.
Then "Experience": "12+ months retail experience."
Then "Physical Requirements/Working Conditions": list.
Then note about document purpose etc (boilerplate, we should remove).
Then "The wage range for this position is $17.50-$30.20 Hourly, commensurate with experience." This is Pay info, but includes "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? The rule: Do NOT 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. Here we have a wage range, but also says "commensurate with experience". The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's describing that the range is based on experience. The rule says we should not create Pay section if the content is just filler like "commensurate with experience". However we have actual numbers: $17.50-$30.20 Hourly. That's substantive. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is additional but not purely filler. I think we can include Pay section with the range.
Benefits: "Whole Foods Market offers 'Whole Benefits'. Whole Benefits offers a wide range of benefits for Full and Part-Time Team Members, including eligibility for a store discount, paid time off, financial wellness, health & wellness support programs, and access to other Team Member perks. Eligibility for Whole Benefits is determined under the terms of the applicable Whole Benefits plan at a person’s date of hire and may vary based on work location, length of service, and job type (such as regular or seasonal). Click here for benefit details."
That's substantive benefits description. So we can include Benefits section.
Schedule: Not explicitly stated except mention "Ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed." That's under Physical Requirements/Working Conditions. There's no explicit schedule like full-time/part-time or shift times. The rule: do NOT create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions flexible schedule but not specific schedule. Might be considered schedule info? It's about ability to work flexible schedule. Could be considered schedule. However the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state ability to work flexible schedule including nights, weekends, holidays as needed. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with that statement.
But we also have Physical Requirements/Working Conditions which could be a separate section? Not in the allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical requirements could go under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements. We'll treat "Experience" as Requirements. Physical requirements could be under Requirements as well.
We need to avoid boilerplate like note about document purpose, EEO, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) before "Job Responsibilities". Could be combined.
Responsibilities: The list under "Job Responsibilities". We'll output as
