We need to remove EEO, legal, application instructions, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation etc. Also remove "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." Also remove "See careers.dollargeneral.com/benefits for additional details."? That is part of benefits description; maybe keep but it's a link. The instruction says remove application instructions; that line is not an application instruction but a reference. Might keep but it's a URL; but we can keep as part of benefits description. However we should not include navigation or legal. The benefits paragraph includes mention of benefit programs; we can keep that.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- General Summary (could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? The summary describes duties. Could be "About the role". But we also have a separate "Duties and Essential Job Functions" which is more detailed list. So we could have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (qualifications + experience/education), Skills (maybe separate?), Benefits (benefits description), About Us (company overview/mission). However we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content.
We have content for:
- About the role: General Summary.
- Responsibilities: Duties and Essential Job Functions (list).
- Requirements: Work Experience and/or Education (High school diploma or equivalent preferred). Could also include Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills (these are more skills/knowledge). But we have separate sections for Qualifications and Skills. The posting lumps Knowledge and Skills under Job Qualifications. We could split: Qualifications (knowledge and skills) and Skills (maybe same). But to avoid thin sections, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have:
- About the role (summary)
- Responsibilities (duties list)
- Requirements (includes experience/education and knowledge/skills)
- Benefits (benefit programs)
- About Us (company overview/mission) maybe not needed but could be included as "About the company"? Not in headings list. The headings list does not include About Us or Company Overview. So we should not create a heading not in list. We could incorporate that info into About the role or maybe omit. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit substantive info. However we can embed it in a paragraph under an existing heading if appropriate. The headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company overview under About the role (makes sense). Or we could create a section "About the role" that includes both summary and company overview. That would preserve info.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections because posting does not state pay or schedule. So omit those.
We must not create Qualifications or Skills sections if they'd be thin; but we have knowledge and skills content. Could combine into Requirements.
Thus sections:
- About the role (h3) containing General Summary + Company Overview/About Us content (mission, values, career opportunities, etc.) maybe also the "Work Where You Matter" paragraph.
- Responsibilities (h3) containing Duties and Essential Job Functions as a list (
- ).
- Requirements (h3) containing Work Experience/Education and Knowledge/Skills (maybe as two paragraphs or combined list). Could be a paragraph for education and a list for knowledge/skills.
- Benefits (h3) containing benefit programs description.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. The job title is "Sales Associate". Not used.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove EEO line.
We must remove duplicated lines (none obvious). Remove application instructions (none). Remove cookie/navigation/legal.
