Retail Merchandising Representative
About the role? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can choose appropriate headings. The posting has "Job Overview", "Job Responsibilities", "Job Requirements", "Education/ Certifications:", "Experience", "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities", "Work Environment", "About UNFI:", "Benefits:", "Compensation". We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe combine Job Overview and About UNFI?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Education/ Certifications, Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities), Qualifications (maybe not needed), Skills (maybe part of Requirements), Benefits, Pay (skip), Schedule (maybe from Work Environment travel %). But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Work Environment includes travel %, physical demands, etc. That's substantive. Should we create a Schedule section? The posting does not have schedule (like shift times). It has travel up to 95% and on-site role. That's more about work environment, not schedule. So we could create a Work Environment section with heading "Work Environment". The instruction examples didn't list Work Environment but we can still use heading; they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That's examples, not exclusive list. So we can add Work Environment.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will output something like:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That's examples, not exclusive list. So we can add Work Environment.

But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep the location. Then Responsibilities: list bullet points. Then Requirements: maybe split into Education/Certifications, Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities. Could combine under Requirements. We could have subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 headings. So we can have one Requirements section with all details. We need to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities, we need a
- . For requirements, we need a
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid mixing categories. So we can make one list for requirements. But we need to preserve all info; mixing is fine. Let's compile requirements items: - High School graduate required; Bachelor’s Degree preferred. - Valid Driver’s License is necessary. - Auto Insurance levels that meet UNFI requirements. - 3-5 years related experience in Retail or Distribution. - Prior customer service experience in a retail setting. - Food related product experience desired. - Bilingual – Spanish a plus. - Excellent customer service and communication skills. - Utilize merchandising skills and available reporting to maximize sales with or

- each.

Work Environment: maybe a
for prose and
- for list of physical demands? The physical demands are a list; we can use
- .
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. So we strip the EEO paragraph, the accommodation statement, the Veteran/Disability, VEVRAA, etc. Also strip the "About UNFI:" paragraph? That's substantive about company; we can include in About the role maybe.
We must not include "Job Overview" heading; we used About the role.
Now let's extract content.
