- each.
Requirements: Education/Experience list.
Skills: The list after "Skills In addition to the opportunity to lead with purpose and showcase your grooming skills, creativity and passion for animals, Petco also offers a dynamic and rewarding environment, including:" Actually that's more like benefits; but we already have Pay/Benefits sections. However the instruction says use Skills heading for list of skills. The posting includes a "Skills" heading? It says "Skills In addition to the opportunity to lead with purpose...". So we should treat that as Skills section. But the content includes compensation and benefits. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information. If we put that under Skills, we must keep the content as is. But we also have Pay/Benefits sections separate; we might duplicate. Better to follow the headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting has a "Skills" section (the list after "Skills In addition..."). It also has "Education/Experience". It has "Work Environment". It does not have explicit "Qualifications" but Education/Experience could be Qualifications. We'll treat Education/Experience as Requirements (or Qualifications). We'll also have Benefits and Pay separate from Skills? But the Skills section includes compensation/benefits details; we could still keep them there, and not create separate Pay/Benefits sections to avoid duplication. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. It does not forbid overlapping content; but we should avoid duplication. Perhaps we can keep Skills as the list that includes compensation/benefits, and not create separate Pay/Benefits. But we also have schedule info separate. The instruction gave examples of headings but we can choose which to include. It says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings if we have content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Education/Experience), Skills (the list), Schedule (full-time hours). We may not have explicit Benefits or Pay separate from Skills; but we could still create Benefits and Pay sections if we extract from Skills. However that would duplicate content. Safer to follow the posting's headings: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions), Requirements (Education/Experience), Skills (the list after "Skills"), Schedule (availability). We'll omit Benefits and Pay as separate headings to avoid duplication. However we might lose explicit mention of benefits like medical etc. But they are inside Skills list; we keep them there. Thus final HTML:
