We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Who We Are" and "General Purpose" etc. We need to use for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract content: Who We Are (company description), General Purpose (Parts Manager responsibilities), Essential Functions (list of duties), Supervisory Duties (list), Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities), Education, Experience, Additional Requirements/Licenses/Certifications, Working Environment, Physical Activities.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can combine sections: "About the role" could contain Who We Are and General Purpose? Or we could have separate sections: "About the role" for company overview and purpose. "Responsibilities" for Essential Functions and Supervisory Duties. "Requirements" for Education, Experience, Additional Requirements. "Qualifications" for Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. "Skills" maybe could be part of Qualifications but we can include if there is specific skill content. "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" only if present. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule explicitly. So we should NOT include those sections.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills (maybe we can include under Qualifications but we need a heading only if we have content). The posting includes "Ability to write and speak effectively... Ability to use standard desktop applications... Strong knowledge of maintaining exciting, attractive, and current merchandising and self-selection displays. Ability to work extended hours and weekends." Those are skills/abilities. Could go under Skills heading. But we also have Qualifications heading for knowledge, skills, abilities. The instruction says we can use those headings; we need to decide.
Better: Use "About the role" for company description and general purpose. Use "Responsibilities" for essential functions and supervisory duties. Use "Requirements" for education, experience, additional requirements (licenses, etc). Use "Qualifications" for knowledge, skills, abilities (maybe also include skills). Could also add "Skills" heading for specific skills like merchandising, desktop apps, extended hours. But we can combine.
We must not create empty sections. So we will include only those with content.
Let's extract content:
Who We Are: paragraph about AgriVision Equipment Group and PrairieLand Partners joint venture, purpose, guiding principles, experience, locations, seeking driven professionals, previous experience welcomed but not required, can train.
General Purpose: The Parts Manager is responsible for leading the Parts Department personnel as well as maximizing return on investment through parts sales, inventory control, and expense control. The Parts Manager Reports to the Store Manager.
Essential Functions: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll convert to

Essential Functions: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll convert to - .
Supervisory Duties: list.
Qualifications Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: list of abilities.
Education: Associate’s Degree required. Bachelor’s Degree preferred.
Experience: Two years of customer service experience preferred. One year of management experience preferred. Previous experience in a parts sales’ role preferred. Equivalent combination may be substituted.
Additional Requirements/Licenses/Certifications: Must have reliable transportation. Must have a valid driver’s license. Passing a driving record (MVR), criminal history background checks, employment verification, and drug screen will be required prior to the start of employment. Forklift license preferred or ability to obtain one.
Working Environment: description.
Physical Activities: description.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include Working Environment and Physical Activities somewhere. They could go under "Requirements" or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not allowed headings. We could put them under "Requirements" as well, but that may be mixing. However the instruction says we can use only those headings; we can still include other content under those headings. So we can put Working Environment and Physical Activities under "Requirements" or maybe under "About the role"? Better to put under "Requirements" as they are job requirements.
Thus "Requirements" will contain Education, Experience, Additional Requirements, Working Environment, Physical Activities.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, duplicated lines, etc. Remove the EEO paragraph at end. Also remove duplicated lines like "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." appears multiple times; we should keep only one instance? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should keep only one occurrence of that sentence. It appears in Essential Functions intro, Supervisory Duties? Actually appears in Essential Functions: "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." Also appears in Working Environment: same sentence. Also in Physical Activities: same sentence. We'll keep only one instance, maybe under a note? But we could keep it once under Requirements or elsewhere. Since it's a generic statement, we could keep it once under Requirements as a note. But we need to preserve substantive information; this sentence is not substantive but legal. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's about accommodations. Might be considered EEO/legal boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove that sentence entirely. It's legal boilerplate about accommodations. So we should remove all instances of "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." Good.
Also remove duplicated lines like "AgriVision Equipment Group and PrairieLand Partners (AVE-PLP, LLC) is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." remove.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
