If you are applying on a job board or unable to click on the link, please copy and paste this URL into your browser jobs.walgreens.com/benefits Salary Range: $16 - $18 / Hourly"
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove lines about Equal Opportunity Employer, etc. Also remove "To review benefits, please click here ..." and the URL lines. Also remove "This role will remain open until filled." Also remove "We will consider employment of qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records." That's EEO? Might be considered boilerplate; but it's about consideration of arrest records, maybe not required to keep. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should drop that line.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we keep the description of duties, qualifications, etc.
We need to decide sections: The posting has headings: Customer Experience, Operations, Training & Personal Development, Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications. Also there is mention of compensation/salary range and benefits link. We should create sections: About the role (maybe combine intro), Responsibilities (maybe combine Customer Experience and Operations?), Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe we can extract skills from preferred qualifications?), Benefits (we have link to benefits but we removed the instruction; but we still have mention of benefits? The posting says "To review benefits, please click here ..." which we removed. There's no explicit benefits description. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: we have Salary Range: $16 - $18 / Hourly. That's substantive. So we should create Pay section with that. Schedule: we have "Requires willingness to work flexible schedule, including evenings and weekend hours." That's schedule info. So we can create Schedule section with that.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what to put in each section.
Potential sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief summary: "Models and delivers a distinctive and delightful customer experience. Registers sales on assigned cash register, provides customers with courteous, fair, friendly, and efficient checkout service. In accordance with state and federal regulations, assists the pharmacist, under direct supervision, in the practice of pharmacy. Responsible for using pharmacy systems to obtain patient and drug information and process prescriptions."
That seems like a prose paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Could combine Customer Experience and Operations content as duties. Could be a list.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills like good math skills, good computer skills, knowledge of store inventory control, PTCB certification (though that's also qualification). But we could put skills as a list.
- Pay: Salary Range: $16 - $18 / Hourly.
- Schedule: Requires willingness to work flexible schedule, including evenings and weekend hours.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. No job title given.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce something like:
