Retail Store Tailor Apprentice
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO paragraph, the AI application note, the careers.tailoredbrands.com line, the "APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ONLINE THROUGH WEBSITE" etc. Also remove "We take into consideration an individual’s skills, background and experience in determining final salary. Base pay information is based on market location and may be subject to prevailing wage laws, if applicable." That's pay note but it's substantive? It's about pay determination; we can keep as part of Pay section maybe. It's not boilerplate. Keep.
Also "You may have the opportunity to voluntarily work between multiple store or site locations, and across multiple brands." That's schedule/location flexibility; could be part of Schedule or maybe a note. Keep.

Now Requirements: "Physical And Mental Requirements" paragraph:

Ability to understand, follow, and execute detailed instructions.
Ability to sit and stand for extended periods of time.

We'll list each as
- under Requirements.
Pay: "Pay Range: $16.00 - $24.00/hr We take into consideration an individual’s skills, background and experience in determining final salary. Base pay information is based on market location and may be subject to prevailing wage laws, if applicable."
We'll put in
.
Schedule: maybe we already included ability to work at least 20 hours per week in Requirements; but that is also schedule. However we could keep it in Requirements; but we might also create a Schedule section for "Ability to work at least 20 hours per week when needed, including any days and hours the store is in operation." and "You may have the opportunity to voluntarily work between multiple store or site locations, and across multiple brands." However the instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we keep schedule info within Requirements or maybe create a Schedule section only if we have distinct schedule info beyond hours. The ability to work at least 20 hours per week is a requirement; the voluntary multiple store work is schedule/location flexibility. Could be part of Schedule. But we already have many sections; maybe we combine schedule info into Requirements as it's about availability. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. It does have schedule info (ability to work at least 20 hours per week). So we could create a Schedule section with that sentence. But we also have that sentence in Requirements; we must not duplicate. We need to decide where to place it. The requirement list includes ability to work at least 20 hours per week; that is both a requirement and schedule. To avoid duplication, we could place it under Requirements and not create a separate Schedule section. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to keep it under Requirements.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay.
Now we need to ensure we removed boilerplate: EEO paragraph, AI note, careers.tailoredbrands.com line, APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ONLINE..., etc.
Also remove "Our company celebrates diversity and provides equal employment opportunity..." etc.
Now produce HTML.
