We need to remove boilerplate: The initial paragraph about DICK'S belief, inclusive workforce, etc. That's maybe considered generic but still substantive? It's about company mission. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The mission statement is not exactly those categories, but could be considered generic fluff. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is substantive? It's about company values. Might be okay to keep as a brief intro paragraph. But we need to decide.
The posting includes "Overview" then "Job Duties & Responsibilities" then sections: Lifecycle Execution & Operational Leadership, Integrated Planning, Readiness & Risk Management, Cross-Functional & Field Leadership, Operational Investment & Resource Management, Continuous Improvement, Reporting & Operational Excellence. Then "Qualifications" with bullet-like list (but actually sentences). Then "Virtual Requirements" which includes interview instructions (camera on, no AI tools, background check). That's basically application instructions / interview process details, which we should remove as per instruction: remove application instructions. So we should drop the Virtual Requirements section entirely.
Also we need to not include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections because not stated.
We need to use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use based on content.
We have:
- Overview/intro: maybe "About the role" or "Overview". Could use About the role
with paragraph.
- Job Duties & Responsibilities: could be Responsibilities
with subheadings? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they want us to use those specific headings when appropriate. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe qualifications? But they also have Qualifications heading. The list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. Could treat "Requirements" as the qualifications (education, experience). And "Qualifications" maybe for skills? But they said use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we need to split.
We have qualifications: Bachelor's Degree, 3-5 years experience, Retail experience a plus, Ability to adapt, Strong interpersonal skills required, Enjoys fast-paced, Organizational skills, "Know your audience" and communication skills a plus.
We could treat those as Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (interpersonal, organizational, communication). But we have both.
We could create:
Responsibilities
with - items for each duty bullet.
Requirements
with - for education and experience.
Skills
with - for interpersonal, organizational, communication, adaptability, fast-paced.
We should not repeat job title.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract duties:
