We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Petco" and "Your Petco Grooming Career". We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. 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 decide what sections to include: About the role (maybe description of role), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions), Requirements (Education/Experience), Skills (maybe the list of skills), Benefits (the list after Skills includes Competitive base pay, Medical..., 401k..., Paid Time Off, Petco Discounts, supplies & equipment, state of the art equipment, career development...). Pay: they mention Competitive base pay but not specific amount; we should not create Pay section if only says "Competitive base pay" without specifics? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Competitive base pay, Medical..., etc. That is benefits. So we can include Benefits section with those items. Pay: they only say Competitive base pay but no number; that's vague but still states "Competitive base pay". The instruction says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state Competitive base pay, but it's not a specific number. However they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive base pay" is somewhat vague but not exactly placeholder like those. Might be okay to include Pay section with that line? But they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay into Benefits. Safer to not create separate Pay section; include compensation details within Benefits.
Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe "About Petco" or "Your Petco Grooming Career"? The instruction: use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions.

Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe "About Petco" or "Your Petco Grooming Career"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when applicable. We have content for About the role? Could use "About the role" to describe the role summary: "Your Petco Grooming Career As a Pet Stylist at Petco, you will be responsible for providing professional grooming services..." That's role description. So we can put that under About the role
.
Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list.
Requirements: Education/Experience section.
Skills: The list after Skills heading (the bullet list). Actually there is a "Skills" heading in the posting: "Skills In addition to the opportunity to showcase your grooming skills, creativity and passion for animals, Petco also offers a dynamic and rewarding environment, including:" then a list. That seems more like benefits/offers. But we can treat that as Skills? The instruction says use for Skills heading. The posting already has a Skills heading; we can keep that as Skills
and list the items.
Benefits: The list after Skills includes Competitive base pay etc. Actually that list is under Skills heading; but we could also treat that as Benefits. However we already used Skills for that list. Might be duplication. Let's examine: The posting text:
"Skills In addition to the opportunity to showcase your grooming skills, creativity and passion for animals, Petco also offers a dynamic and rewarding environment, including:
Competitive base pay
Medical, dental, vision and more
401k and more
Paid Time Off
Petco Discounts
All the supplies & equipment you need, including, brushes, nail trimmers, clippers, blades, shampoo, sprays, tools, etc.
State of the art equipment, including bathing system, kennels, tables, and dryers
Career development and growth opportunities, such as a Grooming Salon Leader, Grooming Mentor and Grooming Instructor"
Thus the heading "Skills" is misleading; it's actually benefits/offers. But we must follow instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which heading best matches content. The content is about what Petco offers (benefits). So we should use Benefits
for that list. The "Skills" heading in the posting we should not replicate as a heading if it's not appropriate; we should instead treat the content as Benefits. The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we must use exactly those headings if they exist; we can choose appropriate ones. So we will not create a Skills section; we will create Benefits.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits.
We might also include Qualifications? The Education/Experience could be considered Qualifications. But we have Requirements heading for education/experience. Qualifications could be separate but we can combine. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have Requirements cover education/experience and maybe also qualifications like "Latitud for independent judgement". That's fine.
Thus we will output:
