We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Benefits (Start Day 1 for Full-Time Colleagues - No Waiting Period! etc). Also includes Pay: Base pay range: $15.87-$28.27/hour, Annual Total Earning Potential after initial training period: $62300 - $108400 / year, plus mention of overtime, incentive, commission, and also "Pay Range Hourly: $17.00 - $22.00". There's some contradictory numbers; we must preserve all substantive info. So we need a Pay section with that info. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "Travel up to 100% of time within assigned territory(s)". That's not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time/part-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule section. Benefits: we have details: Benefits Start Day 1 for Full-Time Colleagues - No Waiting Period! Also list: Health benefits including Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life Insurance plus much more; Savings and Retirement 401(k) retirement plan with company-matching contributions; Work-Life Balance Vacation days & sick days; Company-paid holidays & floating holidays; A company mindset that prioritizes health, safety, and flexibility; Professional and Personal Growth: Multiple avenues to grow your career; Training and development programs available; Tuition Reimbursement benefits (for FT Colleagues). Also "All Full-Time Colleagues qualify for the following and Part-Time Colleagues qualify for most benefits after they meet certain criteria." So we can include Benefits section with list. Responsibilities: The posting includes "What do our Residential Sales Specialists do?" and then description and bullet list of functions. So we can have Responsibilities section with
  • items. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting includes "What do you need?" with list: High school diploma or equivalent, Prefer Associate's or Technical degree, Pest Industry certifications a plus, Must have 1 or more years of sales or pest technician experience, Prefer 1-2 years of experience in pest control sales and 2 or more years in a customer service role, Must be an effective verbal communicator..., Must possess a valid driver’s license from state of residence, Travel up to 100% of time within assigned territory(s). Also there is mention of "Must be an effective verbal communicator..." etc. Also there is "What do you need?" which is basically requirements. Could separate into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (communication, driver's license, travel). But we can combine into one Requirements section if we want fewer sections. However guidelines: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role (maybe not needed? The description of role is in Responsibilities; but there is also introductory paragraph about company. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role (maybe summarizing the role purpose). The posting includes: "What do our Residential Sales Specialists do? The primary purpose of this role is selling the company's Residential Pest Management Services and Products to new and existing residential customers, while maintaining a customer-focused service to grow the business." That's about the role. So we can put that in About the role. Responsibilities: the list of functions. Requirements: education/experience etc. Skills: maybe communication, driver's license, travel. But we could combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section to keep few sections. However the instruction says we can use those headings if we have content. It's okay to have both Requirements and Skills if we have distinct content. Let's see if we have enough for each. Requirements (education/experience): High school diploma or equivalent; Prefer Associate's or Technical degree; Pest Industry certifications a plus; Must have 1 or more years of sales or pest technician experience; Prefer 1-2 years of experience in pest control sales and 2 or more years in a customer service role. Skills: Must be an effective verbal communicator, with particular emphasis on customer-facing conversations and presentation with additional follow-ups; Must possess a valid driver’s license from state of residence; Travel up to 100% of time within assigned territory(s). Thus we can have both. Benefits: as described. Pay: includes base pay range, annual total earning potential, plus mention of overtime/incentive/commission, and also "Pay Range Hourly: $17.00 - $22.00". We'll include all. We must not include boilerplate like "We are proud to be a member of the Rentokil family...". That's about company; could be part of About the role? Actually that's more about company. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list does not include About the company. So we could incorporate that into About the role or maybe omit? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep that company description. Where to put? Could be part of About the role (makes sense). Or we could create a section "About the role" that includes both role purpose and company description. That's fine. We must not include legal/EEO/etc. So we must remove lines like "This company is a Drug Free workplace. Rentokil is committed to complying with all Federal, State, and local laws related to the employment of qualified individuals with disabilities. California residents click here to review your privacy rights. It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment.

By applying to this job, you agree to receive initial texts from systems used on behalf of Rentokil North America, Inc., possibly including Workday, Loop, and HireVue. These systems utilize text messages to communicate with you throughout the application, interview, and pre-hire processes. You can set your communication preferences or opt out of text messages from each system at any time following the initial message. Message and data rates may apply.

They work closely with other colleagues, vendors and/or customers and must be able to resolve conflicts and disputes in a non-violent and non-disruptive manner. They may drive a company vehicle as a primary duty and must safely operate a vehicle on the public streets, and receive company equipment to perform work." All that is boilerplate/legal/EEO etc. Must be removed. Also remove "Click here to read more about our Total Rewards Program which includes:" but we kept the benefits details; we can keep the list after that. Also remove "Why Choose Us? A career with the Rentokil family of companies can be a professional trajectory filled with opportunity. We pride ourselves on being a world-class team that rewards high performance, and we love to promote from within. We offer competitive pay and many of our roles offer performance incentives. Below you'll find information about some of what we have to offer." That's somewhat fluff but still substantive? It's about why choose us; could be considered part of Benefits or About the role. But it's somewhat generic; but we might keep it as part of About the role or Benefits? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that content if it's substantive. However it's somewhat promotional but still part of posting. We can incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section "Why Choose Us" but not in allowed headings. So we could incorporate into About the role or Benefits. Since it's about career trajectory, promotion, competitive pay, performance incentives, we could put under Benefits (as part of benefits) or About the role. I'd put under Benefits as it's about what we offer. But we already have Benefits section with specific items; we could add a

    summarizing that we offer competitive pay, performance incentives, promotion from within, etc. That's okay. We must not include "All Full-Time Colleagues qualify for the following and Part-Time Colleagues qualify for most benefits after they meet certain criteria." That's part of benefits; we can keep. We must not include "Click here to read more about our Total Rewards Program which includes:" but we can keep the list after. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
