Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.

We need to decide what sections to include. The instructions say: 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.
We should not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Outside Sales Associate". We should not put that as heading.
We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we can have:
- About the role (maybe "About the Role") with paragraph.
- Responsibilities (maybe "Responsibilities") with list.
- Requirements (maybe "Requirements") or "Qualifications" with list.
- Benefits (maybe "Benefits") with list.
- Possibly a section about company overview? Not in the list of allowed headings but we could use "About the Company" but not in allowed list. The allowed list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company overview under "About the role"? Not appropriate. Could we create a section "About the Company"? Not in list but maybe allowed? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could include a section for company overview if we want, but maybe better to incorporate into About the role paragraph? The posting already has an "About the Role" section separate from company description. The company description is separate from role. Could we put it under a heading "About the Company"? Not in examples but could be okay. However they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." This implies we should stick to those headings. But we could also use other headings if needed? The instruction is ambiguous. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to fit company description somewhere. Perhaps we can include it as a paragraph before the sections, not under a heading. The instruction says use
for prose. So we can have a leading
with the company overview and the introductory motivational text. That would be okay.
Thus output:
Turtle is actively searching for an experienced Outside Sales Associate to join our team in Commack, NY This is a salary plus uncapped commission position. Why Turtle?

About the Role
The Outside Sales Associate will exhibit a positive, friendly and helpful attitude with customers, have the ability to manage and grow existing accounts, and pursue new business accounts.
Responsibilities

- Increasing business by generating sales to new customers and by selling additional products to existing customers
- Pursuing product applications by utilizing personal knowledge, internal specialist/resources, vendor representatives and other available sources

Requirements
- High School Diploma or equivalent
- Industrial and/or Commercial experience preferred
- Strong leadership and organizational skills
- Ability to visit customers in person

We should not include Pay or Schedule sections because not specified.
We should not include application instructions or EEO boilerplate.
We removed duplicated lines.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: The "Who We Are" section we used as introductory paragraph? Actually we used the introductory motivational text and the "Who We Are" description? We included only the motivational text; we omitted the "Who We Are" paragraph about founded in 1923 etc. That is substantive information about the company; we should preserve it. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that company overview somewhere. We could add another after the introductory paragraph containing the "Who We Are" details. That is substantive. So we need to include that.
Thus we will have two prose paragraphs before sections: first the motivational "Why Turtle?" paragraph, second the company overview "Who We Are". Or we could combine them but better to keep separate.
