We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The description includes: Description paragraph (maybe About the role). Then Essential Functions (list). Then Primary Responsibilities (list). Then Requirements (Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus.) Then Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (list). Then Physical Requirements (list). Then Other (transportation, schedule). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule details. There's mention of rotating shifts, weekends, holidays, extended hours. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. No Pay or Benefits mentioned, so omit those sections. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. There's no cookie/navigation etc. We need to decide what goes into each section. Potential sections: - About the role: could be the initial description paragraph: "The Retail Sales Associate is responsible for processing textiles and wares, maintaining store and merchandise displays, and providing excellent customer service. The position requires operating the cash register, accepting and handling donations, and acting in a security/loss prevention capacity. The Retail Sales Associate will interact with customers, donors, clients, and employees and must maintain a positive and professional image." - Responsibilities: could combine Essential Functions and Primary Responsibilities? But we need to follow headings: Responsibilities (maybe include both essential functions and primary responsibilities). Could also have separate sections: Essential Functions and Primary Responsibilities but headings limited to given list. We can put all duties under Responsibilities. - Requirements: includes Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus. Also maybe Physical Requirements? But Physical Requirements could be separate? Not in list. Could put under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? The list includes Qualifications, Skills. We have Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. That could go under Skills. Qualifications maybe include education/licenses etc. Let's map: - Qualifications: Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions + Primary Responsibilities (combined). - Schedule: Other section includes "Must have reliable means of transportation. Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, extended hours, and holidays." Also earlier: "Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays." So schedule info. We should not create Benefits or Pay sections. We must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to format lists. Let's extract bullet points. Essential Functions (list): - Ability to operate equipment such as mouse, keyboard, computer, cell phone, and tablet. - Operate a pallet jack and trash compactor. - Unload, accept, sort and tag donations from donors. Primary Responsibilities (list many items). We'll need to convert each sentence into a bullet. Let's list them: - Support the mission and vision of Goodwill Industries of Northern Michigan. - Perform work in a safe manner by observing all Goodwill safety policies and procedures. - Interact with all Goodwill team members, clients, and customers in a professional manner. - Respect the diversity of others, including but not limited to, those with cultural, ethnic, and gender differences, individuals experiencing homelessness, and persons with visible and non-visible disabilities. - Perform all day-to-day operational functions of the store, such as running the register, writing sold tickets and receipts, stocking shelves and tables, selling merchandise, rotating goods, assisting customers and donors, and accepting donations. - Be knowledgeable of Goodwill's full range of merchandise and pricing structures. - Set up advertising signs and displays to attract customers and promote sales. - Obtain merchandise requested by customers or receive merchandise selected by customers. - Provide excellent customer service by answering customer questions and assisting with merchandise. - Perform cashier duties, including sales transactions, payments, refunds, asking customers for a donation with 'round up' of their purchase, and end of day register processing. - Be accountable for proper register balances and for preventing unauthorized removal of merchandise from the store. - Wrap or bag merchandise for customers. - Transport purchased merchandise to specified vehicles for customers when needed. - Maintain a clean and orderly work area, including stocking, straightening, and cleaning the sales floor. - Remove empty hangers and outdated merchandise according to the rotation schedule. - Ensure fitting rooms are free of merchandise, removing clothes and re-hang as necessary. - Answer the telephone and provide announcements over the store paging system as needed. - Process and price textiles and wares within established timeframes and meet production goals set by Management. - Expedite merchandise to and from the sales floor. - Adhere to all agency policies and procedures. Promote Goodwill in a positive way internally and externally. - Understand and comply with Goodwill's safety program and alert the supervisor of unsafe practices or situations. - Help train new staff and clients as directed by the supervisor. - Perform other duties as assigned by management. Now Requirements (Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience): "Retail experience is a plus." That's it. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list: - Ability to work effectively with diverse staff customers, community service volunteers, , and vendors. (Note there is a double comma; we keep as is.) - Good verbal communication and organizational skills. - Excellent customer service skills. - Ability to work independently and be flexible in a multi-duty environment. - Ability to work within established guidelines. - Ability to operate a forklift is preferred. - Ability to receive and disperse cash accurately and perform basic math functions. - Fundamental ability to understand, accept, and work with people who have disabilities and/or other barriers to employment. - Positive, can-do attitude with a strong commitment to teamwork. - Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays. Physical Requirements list: - While performing duties, is required to stand, walk, use hands, talk and/or hear. - Reaches with hands and arms, balance, stoop, kneel, twist, turn, and crouch. - Specific vision abilities required by job include color vision. - Often lifts and/or moves up to 10 pounds; regularly lift and/or move up to 25 pounds; and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds. - Work is repetitive in nature. - May be required to stand for up to 8 hours during a shift. Other: - Must have reliable means of transportation. - Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, extended hours, and holidays. We already have schedule info in Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays) and Other. We'll combine schedule info maybe under Schedule section: "Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays. Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, extended hours, and holidays. Must have reliable means of transportation." But we must not duplicate content. We could put schedule info under Schedule section, pulling from both places. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can include it once. Let's extract schedule-specific sentences: From Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: "Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays." From Other: "Must have reliable means of transportation. Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, extended hours, and holidays." We can combine: "Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays. Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, extended hours, and holidays. Must have reliable means of transportation." Now we need to decide where to put Physical Requirements. Not in given headings list; but we could put under Requirements or Qualifications? The list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. Since we already have Qualifications for education/licenses, we could add Physical Requirements under Requirements? But Requirements already used for education/licenses. Might be better to create a separate section? Not allowed headings beyond given list. Could put Physical Requirements under Requirements as a sub-list? But we must follow rule: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can only use those headings. We need to fit all info into those sections. Thus we need to map: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions + Primary Responsibilities. - Requirements: Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience (Retail experience is a plus). Possibly also Physical Requirements? Could be considered part of Requirements. We'll include Physical Requirements under Requirements as a sub-list maybe. - Qualifications: maybe we could put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities? But that's more skills. Actually Qualifications often includes education/experience; Skills includes abilities. We have both. Let's assign: - Qualifications: Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. - Requirements: maybe Physical Requirements? But the heading "Requirements" is ambiguous; we could use it for Physical Requirements. However we already used Qualifications for education/experience. Could swap: Use Requirements for education/experience, Qualifications for skills? But the list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. We need to decide. Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements often includes education/experience; Qualifications may include preferred qualifications; Skills includes abilities. But we have only one explicit "Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience:" line. So we can put that under Requirements. Then Qualifications could be left empty? But we must not emit a heading with filler. So we cannot have Qualifications heading if no specific content. So we need to assign content to Qualifications. The Knowledge, Skills And Abilities could be considered Qualifications. But we also have Skills heading. Could put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Skills, and leave Qualifications empty? Not allowed. So we need to put something under Qualifications. Perhaps we can treat "Ability to operate a forklift is preferred" as a qualification? Or "Positive, can-do attitude" etc. But better to put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Skills, and put something else under Qualifications like "Retail experience is a plus." Actually that's education/experience. Hmm. We could combine: Requirements: Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus. Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. Skills: maybe we could put Physical Requirements? But Skills heading is for skills; physical requirements are not skills. Could put Physical Requirements under Requirements as well? But then we would have two sections: Requirements and Qualifications both with content. Let's assign: - Requirements: Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus. - Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. - Skills: Physical Requirements list? Not ideal but we need to use Skills heading for something. Could we treat physical requirements as skills? Not really. Maybe we can put Physical Requirements under Requirements as a sub-list, and keep Qualifications for Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, and Skills for something else like "Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays" (which is more of a schedule requirement). But schedule has its own heading. We have Schedule heading for schedule info. Thus we can assign: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions + Primary Responsibilities. - Requirements: Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience: Retail experience is a plus. - Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. - Schedule: schedule info (rotating shifts, weekends, holidays, evenings, extended hours, reliable transportation). - Physical Requirements: we need to place somewhere. Could we put under Requirements as a sub-list? But we already used Requirements for education/experience. We could expand Requirements to include both education/experience and physical requirements. That's acceptable: Requirements heading can contain multiple sub-sections (education, physical). So we can put both
