We have: - About the role: we have "About The Role" paragraph: "As an Inside Sales Representative, you will use consultative selling and product knowledge to strengthen customer relationships and grow automotive aftermarket business." Also maybe the "Why Join Keystone?" could be part of About the role? But we can treat that as part of About the role or separate? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have responsibilities list (What You’ll Do). That's Responsibilities. We have requirements: "What We’re Looking For" includes experience preferred, high school diploma, skills etc. That's Requirements. Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could separate but we have no separate qualifications beyond requirements. Could combine? But we need to only include sections with real specific content. If we have both Requirements and Qualifications with same content, that would be duplicate. Better to have only Requirements and maybe Qualifications if we have distinct content like education etc. But we have high school diploma or GED (education) which could be Qualifications. Experience preferred could be Requirements. Let's split: Qualifications: High school diploma or GED. Requirements: Previous sales/account management etc experience preferred; strong communication etc; ability to manage multiple tasks; comfort with computers; etc. However the posting lumps them together. But we can still separate logically. Skills: Preferred Skills: Interest/knowledge of automotive aftermarket products; Bilingual English/Spanish skills a plus. Benefits: we have Benefits and Perks list. Pay: we have "Competitive compensation, Daily Pay, direct deposit, and bonus opportunities" which includes pay info. So we can create Pay section with that. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info (like full-time, shift). So we should NOT include Schedule section. Also we might include Location? Not a heading per list. Could be placed in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But instruction says only use those headings for sections. Could we include location as a paragraph outside headings? It says output ONLY the HTML fragment, no extra. We could include a
for location before headings? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
for location metadata. Also maybe position type and travel could be folded into a short
. Let's include a
with location, position type, travel.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Apply: Visit ...", "Apply Today", "Who We Are" maybe we can keep as prose? "Who We Are" is company description; could be included as a paragraph maybe under About the role? But it's not required. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the company description (Who We Are) as substantive. Where to put? Could be a paragraph after headings maybe as a separate
not under a heading. Or we could include it under About the role as extra prose. But we have About the role heading already with a paragraph. We could add another
after that heading for company description. That's fine.
Similarly "Why Join Keystone?" could be part of About the role or separate? It's substantive. Could be included as a
maybe? It's a list of bullet points: Represent a leading..., Develop..., Build... Those are benefits of joining. Could be placed under About the role as a . But we already have Benefits section for compensation etc. "Why Join Keystone?" is more about role benefits. Could be placed under About the role as a . However we need to avoid creating thin sections. Might be okay to include as a under About the role.
But we must follow rule: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can use lists for responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay? Pay is not a list but could be a
. However pay includes multiple items (competitive compensation, daily pay, direct deposit, bonus opportunities) could be a list.
We need to decide structure:
