Learn more about Dollar General at www.dollargeneral.com/about-us.html. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe General Summary). Responsibilities (Duties and Essential Job Functions). Requirements (maybe Work Experience and/or Education). Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills). Skills (maybe overlapping with Qualifications? But we can combine? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if there is real specific content. We have content for About the role (General Summary). Responsibilities (Duties). Requirements (Work Experience/Education). Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills). Skills (maybe we could treat Knowledge and Skills as Skills? But we already have Qualifications heading for knowledge and skills. Could also have Skills separate if we have distinct skill list. The posting includes "Effective interpersonal and oral communication skills." etc. That's skills. So we could put those under Skills. But we also have Qualifications heading for maybe education/experience. However the instruction says we can use those headings; we need to decide mapping. We have: General Summary -> About the role. Duties -> Responsibilities. Work Experience/Education -> Requirements. Knowledge and Skills -> Qualifications (or Skills). Since they are labeled "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills". Could treat as Qualifications. We could also have Skills separate if we want to break out but we might duplicate. Better to follow the headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (knowledge and skills), Benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we omit Pay and Schedule sections. We also have Working Conditions details; could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Requirements or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably include under Requirements as additional details. But we must not invent headings not allowed. We could add a

under Requirements that includes working conditions. We also have About Us and Company Overview; could be part of About the role? Or maybe we could add an "About the company" section but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those, we should not add extra headings. We could incorporate that info into About the role or maybe as a

after About the role but before Responsibilities? The instruction: 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. It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are the allowed headings; we should not create other headings. So we should not add headings like "About Us" or "Company Overview". We can include that prose within existing sections, maybe under About the role or as a general

after the sections? But we must not create new headings. Could add a

without heading? The instruction says use

for section headings; it doesn't forbid

without heading. So we could add a

after the sections for company overview. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we incorporate company overview into About the role section. Thus About the role could include General Summary plus company overview/mission. Let's craft:
