Learn more about Dollar General at www.dollargeneral.com/about-us.html." We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should remove "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." Also maybe "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." That's not boilerplate but maybe considered minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop relocation assistance line. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need sections: maybe "About the role" (General Summary), "Responsibilities" (Duties And Essential Job Functions), "Requirements" or "Qualifications" (Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education), "Skills" maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (knowledge/skills + education), Benefits (benefit programs). Possibly Working Conditions could be part of Qualifications? But we have a separate section maybe "Working Conditions" not in list of allowed headings; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings. Working Conditions could go under Qualifications or Requirements? Probably under Qualifications (or Requirements). Since we have "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" and "Work Experience and/or Education". Also "Working Conditions" details could be part of Qualifications (maybe as a subsection). But we need to output only headings from allowed list. So we can have sections: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills + Work Experience/Education + Working Conditions), Benefits (benefit programs). Possibly Skills separate? But we can include skills within Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including skills, education, working conditions), Benefits. We must not include Pay or Schedule because not specified. So we omit those. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each duty as a list item? The duties are many sentences separated by periods. We should break them into list items. Similarly for qualifications: list each knowledge/skill item, each education item, each working condition item? Possibly.
We need to avoid duplication. Also remove boilerplate like "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." and maybe the "About Us" and "Company Overview" sections? Those are not part of job description; they are company overview. Should we keep them? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "About Us" and "Company Overview" are not boilerplate but they are not part of the job posting's substantive content about the role; they are generic company info. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Us" and "Company Overview" are substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? Not sure. Usually they'd be considered company overview, not specific to the job. The instruction didn't explicitly say to remove company overview, but they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview is not those. However, they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including company overview would add extra sections. Might be considered not needed. But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove company overview, we are omitting substantive info. However, the company overview is generic and not specific to the job; but it's still substantive. The typical job posting includes that; but the instruction might expect us to keep it? The sections allowed are limited; we could put company overview under "About the role"? But that's already used for summary. Could we add another section like "About the company"? Not allowed headings. So we cannot add a heading not in list. Could we incorporate company overview into a paragraph under "About the role"? That would be mixing. Might be okay but could be considered not following the rule to only include sections when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does have company overview content; we could include it as a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe under a separate
without heading? The instruction: "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." It didn't say we cannot have stray paragraphs without heading. It said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we can have headings only for those sections if they have real specific content. We can also have paragraphs outside headings? The instruction doesn't forbid that, but they say "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It doesn't say we cannot have prose outside sections. However typical approach: we wrap everything in sections. But we could have a leading
for general summary then
for Responsibilities etc. But they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So likely they expect each section to be preceded by an . So we should have headings for each section we include.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills + Work Experience/Education + Working Conditions), Benefits (benefit programs). That's four sections.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to extract content.
