We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the job posting. Key sections: - About Life At PetSmart (maybe "About the role"? Actually they have "About Life At PetSmart". Could map to "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content. We have: - "About Life At PetSmart" paragraph: "Our associates are the heart of Team PetSmart...". That's about company culture. Could be "About the role"? But it's more about company. Could be "About the role" still okay. - "Benefits That Benefit You" list: Paid Weekly, Health & Wellness Benefits, 401k Plan with company match, Paid Time off for full-time associates, Associate discounts, Tuition Assistance, Career pathing, Development opportunities. That's benefits. - "Job Summary" paragraph: "PetSmart’s Salon Experience Lead (Groomer & Salon Trainer) is responsible for providing exceptional service to pet parents and supporting a high performing team while upholding the company’s vision, mission, values, and strategy. This role will deliver professional quality services with the upmost focus on quality and care of pets. The Salon Experience Lead will support the development of bathers and new stylists, seeing them through the entire pet stylist development program." - "Essential Responsibilities" with bullet list (people leadership, salon and overall store experience). Many subpoints. - "Qualifications": list: 2+ years grooming experience; may be asked to complete a technical exam. Full time availability required, flexibility in schedule, able to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. Proficiency with use of tools, equipment and products to perform technical work safely. Proficiency in computer applications. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to react under pressure and maintain composure. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail and safety measures. Supervisory responsibility No direct reports, however, are expected to guide and support the development of other associates. Provides feedback on associate performance to direct supervisor. - "Essential Physical Demands And Work Environment": paragraph about physical demands. - "Do What You Love": paragraph about making impact. - "Apply Now!" etc: but we need to remove application instructions. - Pay info: "Exact base rate of pay will be based on relevant experience level, training, skills or knowledge and store location. Pay for this position is the greater of the base pay rate or groom pay (a designated percentage of the associate’s grooming sales based on the job code) and can vary by pay period. In no instance will PetSmart pay less than the local minimum wage." Thus we have pay info. Should we include a Pay section? Yes, because posting actually states them. So we need a Pay heading with content. - Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides "Full time availability required, flexibility in schedule, able to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed". That's schedule info. Could be a Schedule section. - Benefits: we have benefits list. - Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: proficiency with tools, computer applications, communication, etc. Could be Skills section. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine some. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (or About Life At PetSmart), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule maybe. Skills could be part of Qualifications. We must not create sections with filler text. Ensure each heading has substantive content. We need to use

    for each section heading. Inside sections, use

    for prose,

    • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Paid Weekly", "Health & Wellness Benefits", etc. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, duplicated lines. We also need to remove duplicated lines like "Applicants must be over the age of 18 (except in Montana or where otherwise required by local or state law)" appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are considered boilerplate? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. Also remove "Do What You Love" maybe not boilerplate but it's motivational; we could include as part of About the role or separate? It's substantive but maybe we can incorporate into About the role. We need to ensure we don't miss any important info: The job summary, essential responsibilities, qualifications, physical demands, benefits, pay, schedule. We also have "Supervisory responsibility No direct reports, however, are expected to guide and support the development of other associates. Provides feedback on associate performance to direct supervisor." That's part of qualifications. We have "Essential Physical Demands And Work Environment": we need to keep that. We have "Do What You Love" paragraph: we could treat as part of About the role or maybe a separate section "About the role" includes that. We need to avoid creating sections like "Skills" if we don't have explicit skills list separate from qualifications. Could combine qualifications and skills. But we have "Proficiency with use of tools, equipment and products to perform technical work safely." etc. Those are skills. We could have a "Qualifications" section that includes both experience requirements and skills. We need to decide sections: - About the role (or About Life At PetSmart) – include the "About Life At PetSmart" paragraph and maybe "Do What You Love". - Responsibilities – include the Essential Responsibilities bullet list (people leadership, salon and overall store experience). Also maybe include the Job Summary? Could be part of About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can put Job Summary under About the role or Responsibilities. Probably better to have a separate "Job Summary" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Job Summary under About the role. - Requirements – maybe we can use for "Full time availability required, flexibility in schedule, able to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed" and maybe "2+ years grooming experience; may be asked to complete a technical exam". But those are qualifications. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can use those headings; we need to decide. Better to have: - About the role (includes Life At PetSmart, Job Summary, Do What You Love) - Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities) - Qualifications (includes experience, technical exam, availability, proficiency, communication, organizational skills, supervisory responsibility) - Benefits (list) - Pay (pay details) - Schedule (maybe we can incorporate schedule info into Qualifications or Requirements; but we have schedule info: "Full time availability required, flexibility in schedule, able to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed". That's schedule. Could be a Schedule section. - Physical Demands – not in allowed headings list. Could we put under Qualifications? Or maybe under Responsibilities? Not ideal. But we could create a section "Requirements" for physical demands? Actually physical demands are not requirements per se but could be under "Requirements". The allowed headings include Requirements. So we can put physical demands under Requirements. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now we need to extract content. Let's gather each. About Life At PetSmart paragraph: "Our associates are the heart of Team PetSmart. Together, we're building the best team in retail through our values-based culture, connection, and teamwork. Our goal is to create a culture where associates learn and grow together, thrive as effective teams, and challenge each other to be the best they can be." Do What You Love paragraph: "Do What You Love Join us for a chance to make a meaningful impact every day. Whether it's helping a customer choose their first fish, celebrating a pet's birthday, or seeing the smile on a pet parent’s face after a fresh groom—you'll create moments that matter. At PetSmart, we cherish diversity and the unique perspectives of our 50,000 associates, all united by a passion for pets. We’re delighted you’re interested in joining our pack and helping us in our commitment to doing Anything for Pets, and the people who love them. We're excited to hear your story and learn more about you!" We can combine these two paragraphs under About the role. Job Summary paragraph: "PetSmart’s Salon Experience Lead (Groomer & Salon Trainer) is responsible for providing exceptional service to pet parents and supporting a high performing team while upholding the company’s vision, mission, values, and strategy. This role will deliver professional quality services with the upmost focus on quality and care of pets. The Salon Experience Lead will support the development of bathers and new stylists, seeing them through the entire pet stylist development program." We can also include under About the role. Now Responsibilities: Essential Responsibilities list. We need to extract bullet points. The text: "Essential Responsibilities Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following and may vary depending on store characteristics and needs: People Leadership: Facilitates the associate experience and supports associate development.
