We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings .
- Requirements: Minimum qualifications (the list). Also maybe physical ability? But physical ability is more like a requirement. Could include under Requirements as well. However we have separate "Requirements" heading; we can include both experience and physical ability. But we also have "Schedule" heading for schedule info. So we can put schedule info under Schedule.
- Qualifications: Preferred qualifications list.
- Skills: maybe we could put "Experience using Microsoft Office Suite", "Ability to obtain sales related licensure or registration as may be required by law", "Experience working with store computer systems". But those are already in Requirements (minimum) and Preferred Qualifications (store computer systems). Actually "Experience using Microsoft Office Suite" is in Minimum Qualifications. "Ability to obtain sales related licensure or registration as may be required by law" is also Minimum Qualifications. "Experience working with store computer systems" is in Preferred Qualifications. So if we put them under Skills, we would duplicate. Better to keep them under Requirements/Qualifications as appropriate.
- Benefits: we have a sentence about benefits link. Could be a Benefits section with a
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Content: "What You Will Do" section: description of duties. Then bullet-like sentences: "Anticipating customer flow...", "Planning for spikes...", "Conducting safety walks...", "The Merchandising Assistant Store Manager leads a team...", "The Merchandising Assistant Store Manager is accountable for achieving sales...", "At times...", "The Merchandising Assistant Store Manager collaborates with peers...", "Furthermore, this individual may be asked to rotate through Specialty and Operations assignments...", "Travel Requirements: This role does not require regular travel; however, this role may need to travel on occasion to meetings, trainings, or to support neighboring stores." Then "What We're Looking For" includes: - Salaried: Generally scheduled for 48 hours; more hours may be required based on the needs of the business. - Requires morning, afternoon and evening availability any day of the week. - Physical ability to perform tasks that may require prolonged standing, sitting, and other activities necessary to perform job duties. - Minimally must be able to lift 25 pounds without assistance; may lift over 25 pounds with or without assistance. Then "Minimum Qualifications What You Need To Succeed" list: - 2 years of experience leading associates in a retail environment. - 3 years of experience working in a fast-paced, cross-functional work environment. - 1 year of experience performing manager-on-duty responsibilities, including management of daily store operations and processes within and beyond assigned areas of responsibility. - Experience using Microsoft Office Suite. - Ability to obtain sales related licensure or registration as may be required by law. Then "Preferred Qualifications": - Bachelor's degree in related field. - 5 years of experience leading service associates in a retail or consumer service industry. - 3 years of experience performing manager-on-duty responsibilities, including management of daily store operations and processes within and beyond assigned areas of responsibility. - Experience working in the home improvement retail sector. - Broad knowledge of interior/exterior product categories (e.g., flooring, cabinets, millwork, building materials, appliances, home décor, lighting, plumbing). - Experience working with store computer systems (including but not limited to: Project Tool, Genesis, M2O, Thin Client, etc.). - If the state or local municipality requires a salesperson license for this position, you must either be licensed or pass the requisite licensing exam within sixty (60) days of starting employment in this position. Then "About Lowe’s": description of company. Then "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience." Then "For information regarding our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." We need to decide sections. We have duties: "What You Will Do" -> could be Responsibilities. We have schedule info: "Salaried: Generally scheduled for 48 hours; more hours may be required based on the needs of the business. Requires morning, afternoon and evening availability any day of the week." That's schedule. We have physical requirements: "Physical ability to perform tasks that may require prolonged standing, sitting, and other activities necessary to perform job duties. Minimally must be able to lift 25 pounds without assistance; may lift over 25 pounds with or without assistance." Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Probably "Requirements" (physical). But we can include under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map: - About the role: maybe a brief summary? Could be the introductory paragraph: "All Lowe’s associates deliver quality customer service while maintaining a store that is clean, safe, and stocked with the products our customers need. As an Merchandising Assistant Store Manager, this means:" That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties. - Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications? Or physical requirements? We'll decide: "Requirements" could contain the minimum qualifications (experience, etc.) and physical ability. But we also have "Qualifications" separate for preferred qualifications. Usually "Requirements" = minimum qualifications, "Qualifications" = preferred. We'll follow that. Thus: - Requirements: list of minimum qualifications (2 years leading associates, 3 years fast-paced, 1 year manager-on-duty, MS Office, ability to obtain licensure). Also maybe include physical ability? Could be separate but we can include under Requirements as well. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 5 years leading service associates, 3 years manager-on-duty, home improvement retail sector experience, broad product knowledge, experience with store computer systems, licensing requirement within 60 days). - Skills: maybe we could extract skills like "Ability to obtain sales related licensure", "Experience using Microsoft Office Suite", "Experience working with store computer systems". But we already have those in qualifications. Could create Skills section for things like "Ability to obtain sales related licensure", "Experience using Microsoft Office Suite", "Experience working with store computer systems". However we risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Qualifications or Requirements. But we have headings list includes Skills; we can include if we have substantive content. We have some skill-like items: "Ability to obtain sales related licensure or registration as may be required by law." "Experience using Microsoft Office Suite." "Experience working with store computer systems (including but not limited to: Project Tool, Genesis, M2O, Thin Client, etc.)". Those could be Skills. But they also appear in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put them under Skills and keep Qualifications for education/experience preferences. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we must not lose any. Duplication is okay? It says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited but might be redundant. Better to avoid duplication by placing each piece only once. So we need to decide where each piece goes. Let's extract all substantive pieces: From "What You Will Do": - Anticipating customer flow and work demand and redirecting efforts and schedules to ensure proper coverage when and where needed. - Planning for spikes in sales and ensuring the store has the in-stock position to support the demand. - Conducting safety walks, monitoring use of store power equipment, and coaching associates around safe work practices. - The Merchandising Assistant Store Manager leads a team of associates who work together to ensure our customers receive exceptional service while shopping in a clean, safe, well-stocked store. - The Merchandising Assistant Store Manager is accountable for achieving sales and margin goals while driving operational efficiencies and maximizing overall customer satisfaction with the Lowe’s in-store experience. - At times, the Merchandising Assistant Store Manager is expected to provide full leadership over the store. - The Merchandising Assistant Store Manager collaborates with peers on the store leadership team as well as the District Manager and Area support staff to assess the needs of our customers and develop the best methods for achieving service, sales, and operational objectives. - Furthermore, this individual may be asked to rotate through Specialty and Operations assignments for the purpose of cross-training and development. - Travel Requirements: This role does not require regular travel; however, this role may need to travel on occasion to meetings, trainings, or to support neighboring stores. From "What We're Looking For": - Salaried: Generally scheduled for 48 hours; more hours may be required based on the needs of the business. - Requires morning, afternoon and evening availability any day of the week. - Physical ability to perform tasks that may require prolonged standing, sitting, and other activities necessary to perform job duties. - Minimally must be able to lift 25 pounds without assistance; may lift over 25 pounds with or without assistance. From Minimum Qualifications: - 2 years of experience leading associates in a retail environment. - 3 years of experience working in a fast-paced, cross-functional work environment. - 1 year of experience performing manager-on-duty responsibilities, including management of daily store operations and processes within and beyond assigned areas of responsibility. - Experience using Microsoft Office Suite. - Ability to obtain sales related licensure or registration as may be required by law. From Preferred Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in related field. - 5 years of experience leading service associates in a retail or consumer service industry. - 3 years of experience performing manager-on-duty responsibilities, including management of daily store operations and processes within and beyond assigned areas of responsibility. - Experience working in the home improvement retail sector. - Broad knowledge of interior/exterior product categories (e.g., flooring, cabinets, millwork, building materials, appliances, home décor, lighting, plumbing). - Experience working with store computer systems (including but not limited to: Project Tool, Genesis, M2O, Thin Client, etc.). - If the state or local municipality requires a salesperson license for this position, you must either be licensed or pass the requisite licensing exam within sixty (60) days of starting employment in this position. From About Lowe’s: description of company. From Pay: "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience." From Benefits: "For information regarding our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." Now we need to map to sections. Potential sections: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph: "All Lowe’s associates deliver quality customer service while maintaining a store that is clean, safe, and stocked with the products our customers need. As an Merchandising Assistant Store Manager, this means:" plus maybe the first bullet? Actually the "What You Will Do" heading is effectively responsibilities. So About the role could be a brief summary: maybe we can combine the first sentence and the "As an Merchandising Assistant Store Manager, this means:" as intro. We'll include that as About the role. - Responsibilities: the bullet list from "What You Will Do" (including travel). We'll put each as
containing that sentence. - Pay: we have a sentence about starting rate of pay may vary. That's substantive; we can create a Pay section with that sentence. - Schedule: we have schedule info: salaried 48 hours, more hours may be required; requires morning, afternoon, evening availability any day of the week. That's schedule. We also have physical ability to lift etc. That could be under Requirements (maybe as a sub-item). We
