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 remove "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." and "Note: Applications will remain open until a candidate is selected and has accepted." Also remove "Relocation assistance is not available for this position."? That's not boilerplate but maybe considered a detail; but it's a statement about relocation assistance not available. It's not a benefit; we could keep it under Working Conditions? Might be considered a detail but not required. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we remove EEO line and application instructions note. Keep relocation assistance? It's not EEO; it's a detail about relocation assistance not available. Could keep but maybe it's minor metadata; we could 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." Relocation assistance is minor metadata; we could drop it or include in a paragraph. Safer to drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need sections: About the role (maybe General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties and Essential Job Functions), Requirements (Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills), Qualifications (Work Experience and/or Education), Skills (maybe overlapping), Benefits (benefit programs), Pay (none given), Schedule (none given). Since Pay and Schedule not stated, we should NOT create those sections. We need to decide which headings to use. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose among those. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have: - About the role: Could map to General Summary / About Us / Company Overview? The instruction says "About the role" heading for section about role. The General Summary describes the role. Also there is "About Us" and "Company Overview" but those are about company, not role. We could put role summary under "About the role". Use the General Summary text. - Responsibilities: Duties and Essential Job Functions. - Requirements: Could be Knowledge and Skills (Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills). Or we could separate Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide what content goes where. Typically Requirements = experience/education; Qualifications = skills/knowledge. But we have both: "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills ..." and "Work Experience and/or Education High school diploma or equivalent preferred." Also "Working Conditions" is not a standard heading but could be part of Requirements? Might be better to put Working Conditions under Requirements or maybe under a separate section? Not listed. Could incorporate into Requirements as a paragraph. - Skills: Could be separate from Requirements; but we already have Knowledge and Skills. Could treat that as Skills. Then Requirements could be Work Experience/Education. - Benefits: Benefit programs described. Thus we could have sections:

About the role

General Summary text.

We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not create Pay or Schedule sections. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information: The General Summary, duties list, knowledge and skills list, work experience/education, working conditions details, benefits list. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. The duties list appears in both General Summary and Duties and Essential Job Functions; we should not duplicate. The General Summary includes a summary of duties; the Duties and Essential Job Functions list more detailed duties. We should include the detailed duties under Responsibilities. The General Summary can be used for About the role. We need to extract the duties list: "Provide excellent customer service, greet and assist customers.Operate cash register and scanner to itemize and total customer's purchase, collect payment from customers and make change, bag merchandise, and assist customers with merchandise as necessary.Follow company merchandise processes; unpack, stock, restock, and rotate merchandise on shelves and build merchandise displays.Clean the store, take out trash, dust and mop store floors, clean restroom and receiving room, and help set up sidewalk displays." We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by period? Actually there are periods missing after some. We can split by sentences: - Provide excellent customer service, greet and assist customers. - Operate cash register and scanner to itemize and total customer's purchase, collect payment from customers and make change, bag merchandise, and assist customers with merchandise as necessary. - Follow company merchandise processes; unpack, stock, restock, and rotate merchandise on shelves and build merchandise displays. - Clean the store, take out trash, dust and mop store floors, clean restroom and receiving room, and help set up sidewalk displays. We'll make
  • for each. Knowledge and Skills list: "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." Split: - 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/Education: "High school diploma or equivalent preferred." Working Conditions: a long sentence: "Frequent walking and standingFrequent 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 merchandiseFrequent handling of merchandise and equipment such as handheld scanners, pricing guns, box cutters, merchandise containers, two-wheel dollies, U-boats (six-wheel carts), and rolltainersFrequent and proper lifting of up to 40 pounds; occasional lifting of up to 55 poundsOccasional climbing (using step ladder) up to heights of six feetFast-paced environment; moderate noise levelOccasional exposure to outside weather conditions" We need to split into sensible items. Could break by semicolons or periods. There are no periods. We can split by "Frequent" repeated? Actually the string seems concatenated without spaces after some. Let's manually parse: "Frequent walking and standingFrequent 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 merchandiseFrequent handling of merchandise and equipment such as handheld scanners, pricing guns, box cutters, merchandise containers, two-wheel dollies, U-boats (six-wheel carts), and rolltainersFrequent and proper lifting of up to 40 pounds; occasional lifting of up to 55 poundsOccasional climbing (using step ladder) up to heights of six feetFast-paced environment; moderate noise levelOccasional exposure to outside weather conditions" We can insert spaces before each capital letter after a lowercase? But easier: we can treat as a single paragraph describing working conditions. The instruction says use

    for prose. So we could put the whole working conditions as a

    . That's acceptable. Benefits: "Dollar General is pleased to offer a wide range of benefit programs designed to care for the physical, mental and financial well-being of our employees and their families.
