We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description. Given text: Job Description Job Details General Summary: Act as the point of contact for customers. Assist in setting and maintaining plan-o-grams and programs. Stock merchandise adequately. Perform other duties as necessary to maximize profitability, customer satisfaction, and teamwork, while protecting company assets. Duties And Essential Job Functions: list of duties. Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills: list. Work Experience and/or Education: High school diploma or equivalent preferred. Working Conditions: list. Then About Us etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." and "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." Also remove "About Us" etc? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Us" and "Company Overview" might be considered boilerplate? Not exactly legal/EEO, but they are generic company description. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Us" and "Company Overview" might be considered not substantive to the job? It's generic company info. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction only mentions cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It does not explicitly say to remove company overview. However, we might keep it if it's substantive? But it's generic fluff. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The "About Us" could be a section but it's generic. Might be considered not specific to the role. The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The About Us content is generic but still specific to Dollar General. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's actual description. However, it's not about the role. The sections we should produce: About the role (maybe from General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements/Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education, Working Conditions). Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if present. There's no mention of benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So we don't add a heading for job title. We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — none present. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content. General Summary: "Act as the point of contact for customers. Assist in setting and maintaining plan-o-grams and programs. Stock merchandise adequately. Perform other duties as necessary to maximize profitability, customer satisfaction, and teamwork, while protecting company assets." That's prose. Duties And Essential Job Functions: list: - Unload trucks. - Follow company work processes to receive, open and unpack cartons and totes; store merchandise in stock room or move directly to sales floor. - Build merchandise displays. - Stock merchandise; rotate and face merchandise on shelves. - Restock recovered merchandise. - Assist customers by locating merchandise. - Bail cardboard and take out trash; dust and mop store floors; clean restroom and stockroom. - Comply with company policies and procedures. - Greet customers. - Operate cash register and flatbed scanner to itemize and total customer's purchase; bag merchandise. - Collect payment from customer and make change. - Assist with ordering merchandise using hand-held scanners, as needed. - Clean front end of store and help set up sidewalk displays when necessary. We need to output as

    • each. Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills: - Effective interpersonal and oral communication skills. - Understanding of safety policies and practices. - Ability to read and follow plan-o-gram and merchandise presentation guidance. - Knowledge of basic cash handling procedures. - Basic mathematical skills. - Ability to perform IBM cash register functions. Work Experience and/or Education: - High school diploma or equivalent preferred. Working Conditions: - Frequent walking and standing - Frequent bending, stooping, and kneeling to run check out station, stock merchandise and unload trucks; which may also require the ability to push and/or pull rolltainers for stocking merchandise - Frequent handling of merchandise and equipment such as handheld scanners, pricing guns, box cutters, merchandise containers, two-wheel dollies, U-boats (six-wheel carts), and rolltainers - Frequent and proper lifting of up to 40 pounds; occasional lifting of up to 55 pounds - Occasional climbing (using step ladder) up to heights of six feet - Fast-paced environment; moderate noise level - Occasional exposure to outside weather conditions - Relocation assistance is not available for this position. (But this is maybe not a working condition; it's a note. Should we keep? It's not a condition; it's a note about relocation. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO. It's a specific statement about relocation assistance not available. Could be considered substantive? It's not a typical working condition but it's a detail. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it. However, it's not a condition; maybe we can keep it as a separate bullet under Working Conditions or maybe as a separate note. But we have no section for relocation. Could include it under Working Conditions as a bullet. But note: The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Relocation assistance note is not those. So keep. Now About Us and Company Overview: Should we include? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The About Us is substantive but generic. However, the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About Us would add a section that is generic but still substantive. Might be okay. However, typical job posting reformatting often omits company overview as it's not specific to the role. The instruction does not explicitly say to remove it, but they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us is not those. So we could keep it. But we need to decide. Given the instruction: "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")". The About Us content is not filler/placeholder; it's real content about the company. So we could include a section like "About the company" but we don't have a heading for that; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list "About the company" or "Company Overview". So we should not create a heading outside those list. The instruction says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list? It says "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add a heading like "Company Overview". So we should omit About Us and Company Overview. Thus we will produce sections: About the role (from General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements (maybe combine Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education, Working Conditions). Or we could split into Qualifications and Skills etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think. We have: - Knowledge and Skills (list) - Work Experience and/or Education (list) - Working Conditions (list) We could combine Knowledge and Skills and Work Experience/Education into a "Qualifications" section, and Working Conditions into a "Requirements" section? Or we could have "Requirements" for experience/education, "Skills" for knowledge and skills, and "Working Conditions" as its own section? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine into two sections: Responsibilities and Requirements (which includes qualifications, skills, working conditions). But we need to use headings from the list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could use About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (knowledge and skills + work experience/education), and maybe Working Conditions as a separate section? But Working Conditions is not in the example list but could be considered part of Requirements? The list includes Requirements as a possible heading. So we could put working conditions under Requirements. However, we also have knowledge and skills and experience; those could be under Qualifications and Skills. But we have both Qualifications and Skills as separate possible headings. To avoid many thin sections, we could combine knowledge and skills and experience into Qualifications, and put working conditions under Requirements. That yields three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements. That's four sections. Could we combine Qualifications and Requirements into one? But then we lose distinction. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Four sections is okay if each is substantive. Alternatively, we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes experience/education, knowledge/skills, working conditions). That's three sections. That seems good. Let's do:
