We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about company; but we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction: use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about company; but we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections accordingly.
We have:
- Compensation range: $16.00-$16.75 (Pay). So we need a Pay section.
- Benefits: "All associates receive 30% discount!" and "Earned Sick Time: We are committed to supporting the health and well-being of our associates. Our paid sick leave policy adheres to all federal, state, and local laws." Also "Your Everyday Perks & Protection 30% Associate Discount: Enjoy exclusive savings on our amazing products during your time with us!" So we have benefits: 30% associate discount, earned sick time (paid sick leave). So we can create Benefits section with list.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule details. So we should NOT create Schedule section.
- Responsibilities: There's "Job Description" paragraph then "Key Responsibilities" list. So we can have Responsibilities section with list.
- Qualifications: There's "Qualifications" heading with bullet list. So we can have Qualifications section with list.
- Skills: Not explicit separate; but qualifications include basic math, reading, legible handwriting, communication. Could be considered Skills. But we already have Qualifications; we could also have Skills if we want but we should avoid thin sections. Since qualifications already cover skills, we may not need separate Skills.
- About the role: Could be the "Job Description" paragraph before responsibilities? Actually "Job Description" includes a paragraph describing role. Could be used as About the role. We'll create About the role section with that paragraph.
- Also there is "Work Environment" etc. That could be part of Qualifications or Responsibilities? It's more about work environment; not a standard heading. Could be omitted or included in About the role? Probably we can incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? But we should preserve all substantive information. We could add a section like "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Likely we should stick to those headings. So we need to fit work environment info somewhere else, maybe in About the role or Responsibilities. We can add a paragraph under About the role describing work environment.
- Also there is "Your Everyday Perks & Protection" which is benefits.
- Also there is "Earned Sick Time" etc.
- Also there is "30% Associate Discount". Already captured.
- Also there is "The compensation range for this opportunity is $16.00-$16.75". So Pay.
- Also there is "Join our Team! All associates receive 30% discount!" That's benefits.
- Also there is "Company Overview" paragraph. Could be part of About the role? Might be separate but we can incorporate.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none except maybe "#INDRetail" at end (maybe a tag). Remove that.
We must preserve all substantive information.
