We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Content:
- Position Summary: "Assists members in choosing and ordering eyeglasses, uses computer to process orders, fits eyeglasses, and dispenses eyeglasses and contacts under the supervision of a Licensed Optician. Follows department procedures for stocking and cleaning. Provides a high level of member service."
- Job Duties: a long list of duties.
- Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees."
- Pay: "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." No actual pay range given. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific pay info.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. So no schedule.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Not explicitly listed. There is "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Also "Assists with department duties as necessary." "Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary." Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." Also "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Also "Job Description Posting Updated: July 2026 Job Code: 0016" (metadata). Also "California applicants: Please click here to review the Costco Applicant Privacy Notice." (boilerplate). Also "The jobs listed are examples of the typical kinds of positions that Costco may hire for when openings exist. The listing does not mean that any positions are currently open or available at Costco." (boilerplate). Remove those.
Thus we have:
- About the role: Could be the Position Summary.
- Responsibilities: Job Duties.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Could combine ability to operate vehicles, equipment, open availability, proof of authorization. Also maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Also "Assists with department duties as necessary." "Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary." Might be considered responsibilities though. But we can put them under Requirements or Skills.
We need to decide sections: About the role (Position Summary). Responsibilities (Job Duties). Requirements (maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery", "Open availability needed", "Proof of authorization to work in US"). Benefits (the benefits list). Possibly Skills: maybe not needed if we put skills under Requirements.
We should not create thin sections. Let's see if we have enough for Requirements: we have three bullet points. That's okay.

Requirements (maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery", "Open availability needed", "Proof of authorization to work in US"). Benefits (the benefits list). Possibly Skills: maybe not needed if we put skills under Requirements.
We should not create thin sections. Let's see if we have enough for Requirements: we have three bullet points. That's okay.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we list each duty as
- . For Requirements we list each requirement as
- . For Benefits we list each benefit as
- maybe.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty exactly as described? The duties are many sentences; we can break them into list items each representing a duty. Must not lose detail. We'll need to parse the duties text.
Job Duties paragraph: It's a long run-on sentence with periods separating duties. Let's split by periods (but careful with abbreviations). We'll produce list items each duty.
Original duties text:
"Assists members in choosing eyeglass frames and lens options appropriate to the lens prescription, under supervision of a Licensed Optician. Measures member for pupillary distance using pupilometer and observes line of sight to determine bifocal placement, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.Keys members order into computers and places special orders to outside vendors by telephone, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.Rings up orders and over-the-counter merchandise. Receives accurate payment, makes change, processes checks, credit, and debit charges according to proper procedures for paperwork, cash handling, and performance of duties.Checks contact lenses and completed eyeglasses against prescription under the supervision of a Licensed Optician, prior to dispensing to members. Fits and adjusts eyeglasses to members using hand tools and frame warmer and bending with fingers.Orders equipment, merchandise, and supplies by keying into the computer. Keys receipt of special orders from outside vendors. Follows safety and security procedures.Stocks merchandise and supplies. Follows department procedures and standards for production, record keeping, merchandising, and product storage.Cleans department by spraying, wiping, and mopping. Empties trash, operates trash compactor and cardboard baler.Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials.Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery.Assists with department duties as necessary.Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary."
We need to keep each duty as separate list item. Some sentences have no space after period (e.g., "...Optician.Keys members order..."). We'll need to split correctly.
Let's manually split:
1. Assists members in choosing eyeglass frames and lens options appropriate to the lens prescription, under supervision of a Licensed Optician.
2. Measures member for pupillary distance using pupilometer and observes line of sight to determine bifocal placement, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.
3. Keys members order into computers and places special orders to outside vendors by telephone, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.
4. Rings up orders and over-the-counter merchandise.
5. Receives accurate payment, makes change, processes checks, credit, and debit charges according to proper procedures for paperwork, cash handling, and performance of duties.
6. Checks contact lenses and completed eyeglasses against prescription under the supervision of a Licensed Optician, prior to dispensing to members.
7. Fits and adjusts eyeglasses to members using hand tools and frame warmer and bending with fingers.
8. Orders equipment, merchandise, and supplies by keying into the computer.
9. Keys receipt of special orders from outside vendors.
10. Follows safety and security procedures.
11. Stocks merchandise and supplies.
12. Follows department procedures and standards for production, record keeping, merchandising, and product storage.
13. Cleans department by spraying, wiping, and mopping.
14. Empties trash, operates trash compactor and cardboard baler.
15. Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials.
16. Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery.
17. Assists with department duties as necessary.
18. Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary.
Note: Some of these might be more like requirements (ability to operate vehicles etc.) but they are in the duties list. We'll keep them under Responsibilities as they are duties.
Now Requirements: we have "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." and "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Also maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." but that is already in duties. We'll keep it there.
Thus Requirements list:
- Open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business (apart from any religious or disability considerations).
- Must provide proof of authorization to work in the United States if hired.
We could also include "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery" but it's already in duties; we could keep it there.
Now Benefits: list each benefit.
Benefits sentence: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees."
We need to split into list items. Let's parse:
- paid time off
- health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance
- health care reimbursement account
- dependent care assistance plan
- short-term disability insurance
- long-term disability insurance
- AD&D insurance
- life insurance
- 401(k)
- stock purchase plan (to eligible employees)
We could keep as separate items.
Now About the role: Position Summary sentence(s). It is: "Assists members in choosing and ordering eyeglasses, uses computer to process orders, fits eyeglasses, and dispenses eyeglasses and contacts under the supervision of a Licensed Optician. Follows department procedures for stocking and cleaning. Provides a high level of member service."
We can make that as a paragraph
. Or we could break into list? The instruction: Use
for prose. So we put that as a
.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings.
Thus:
