Could be "About the Company" but not in allowed headings; we could put under "About the role"? Not needed. Probably we can omit or put as prose under a generic section? The instruction: Use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: we have "About The Role" paragraph. Could also include "Why Join Keystone?" maybe as part of About the role or separate? But we can include as part of About the role. - Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" list. - Requirements: "What We’re Looking For" (mandatory) list. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Skills" could be Qualifications or Skills. The allowed headings include Qualifications, Skills. We could put "Preferred Skills" under Skills or Qualifications. Since we have both Required and Preferred, we could put Requirements for mandatory, and Skills for preferred. Or we could have Qualifications for preferred. Let's decide: Use Requirements for mandatory (high school diploma, prior outside sales experience, ability to travel, etc.). Use Skills for preferred (some college, marine electronics knowledge, training experience). Could also include Microsoft Office etc under Requirements? It's listed under What We’re Looking For (mandatory). So include there. - Benefits: "Benefits and Perks" list. - Pay: The posting mentions "Competitive compensation, Daily Pay, direct deposit, and incentive or bonus opportunities". That's compensation info. So we can include Pay section with that detail. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides travel. No schedule like full-time/part-time. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific content. We must not include headings with filler text. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is Outside Sales Representative; we should not make a heading for that. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

    About the role

    Earl Owen Distribution, a division of Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc., is seeking an enthusiastic, customer-focused Outside Sales Representative to support the West Texas region. This role is ideal for a motivated sales professional who enjoys developing new business, supporting established accounts, and helping customers find the right automotive, RV, marine, and related aftermarket solutions. Represent Earl Owen Distribution and Keystone, trusted names in specialty automotive, RV, and marine aftermarket parts and accessories; manage a regional sales territory with opportunities to grow new and existing customer relationships; receive sales, service, and product training designed to help you succeed in the field.

    But we need to preserve the "Why Join Keystone?" bullet points. Could incorporate them as a list under About the role or separate. Since we have no separate heading for "Why Join Keystone?" we can embed as a list under About the role maybe as
      . However the instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The "Why Join Keystone?" is a list of benefits/reasons. Could treat as a list under About the role. But we also have a Benefits section. Might be better to make a separate section for "Why Join Keystone?" but not in allowed headings. So we incorporate into About the role as a
          . Thus About the role: prose intro plus a
            of reasons. Let's extract the three bullet points: - Represent Earl Owen Distribution and Keystone, trusted names in specialty automotive, RV, and marine aftermarket parts and accessories - Manage a regional sales territory with opportunities to grow new and existing customer relationships - Receive sales, service, and product training designed to help you succeed in the field Now Responsibilities: list from "What You’ll Do". We'll make
              . Requirements: list from "What We’re Looking For" (mandatory). Items: - High school diploma or GED equivalent required - Prior outside sales experience - Ability to travel weekly, including occasional weekends and trade shows - Strong time management, organizational, verbal, and written communication skills - Microsoft Office experience, including strong Outlook and Excel skills - Ability to thrive in a collaborative team environment Skills: Preferred Skills list: - Some college coursework or degree preferred - General knowledge or experience with marine electronics, parts, and accessories - Experience training or educating customers, such as teaching customers how to use online or system features Benefits: list from "Benefits and Perks". Items: - Competitive compensation, Daily Pay, direct deposit, and incentive or bonus opportunities - Medical, dental, vision, prescription, and related benefit options - 401(k) with company match - Paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave - Training, career development, tuition assistance, and dependent scholarship opportunities - Employee discounts, referral bonus program, and wellness programs Pay: we could separate compensation details. But we already have "Competitive compensation, Daily Pay, direct deposit, and incentive or bonus opportunities" under Benefits. However the instruction says to create Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state compensation. So we could make a Pay section with that detail. But we already used that line in Benefits. To avoid duplication, we could move that line to Pay section and keep Benefits without that line. Let's see: Benefits list currently includes that line as first item. If we move it to Pay, Benefits will have remaining items. That's okay; we preserve all info. Thus: Pay: Competitive compensation, Daily Pay, direct deposit, and incentive or bonus opportunities. Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, prescription, and related benefit options; 401(k) with company match; Paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave; Training, career development, tuition assistance, and dependent scholarship opportunities; Employee discounts, referral bonus program, and wellness programs. We need to keep each as list items. Now About the role: we need to include the introductory paragraph and maybe the "Why Join Keystone?" list. Let's craft:
