Then there is "About Us" etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove.
Also "Note: Applications will remain open until a candidate is selected and has accepted." That's application instruction; remove.
Also "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." EEO; remove.
Also "How would you like to Serve? Join the Dollar General Journey and see how your career can thrive." etc. Remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements (maybe Work Experience/Education?), Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills), Skills (maybe overlapping?), Benefits (the benefit paragraph). Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit.
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). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- About the role: General Summary content.
- Responsibilities: Duties list.
- Requirements: maybe Work Experience/Education? Could be "High school diploma or equivalent preferred." That's a requirement. Also maybe "Working Conditions" could be considered part of Requirements? But we have a separate heading for Requirements; we can put education and maybe experience there. There's no explicit experience requirement besides high school diploma. So we can put that.
- Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills list (the bullet list). Could also be Skills. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings. We need to decide distribution. The posting has "Knowledge and Skills" as a heading. That could go under Qualifications or Skills. Since we have both headings, we could put the list under Qualifications (knowledge and skills) and maybe Skills could be empty -> we should not emit empty heading. So we omit Skills if no distinct content.
Alternatively, we could put the list under Skills and leave Qualifications empty? But we have both headings; we need to include only those with content. So we need to decide which heading best matches the content. The content is "Knowledge and Skills". That could be considered Skills. But Qualifications often includes knowledge, skills, abilities. The instruction gave examples; we can choose either. To avoid duplication, we could put the list under Qualifications and omit Skills. Or we could put under Skills and omit Qualifications. Which is more appropriate? The heading "Qualifications" often includes education, experience, etc. But we already used Requirements for education. So Qualifications could be knowledge and skills. Let's assign:
- About the role: General Summary.
- Responsibilities: Duties.
- Requirements: Education (High school diploma or equivalent preferred).
- Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills list.
- Benefits: Benefit paragraph.
We should not include Skills heading.
Check for any other content like Pay or Schedule: none.
Now we need to format lists using - . For prose, use
.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet point exactly as in the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the details, but we can keep them as bullet points; we can keep the wording essentially same. Slight changes like punctuation maybe okay but better to keep as is.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Note: Applications will remain open..." etc.

We should not include any extra whitespace? It's fine.
Check for any duplicated lines: we removed.
Check for any mention of "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." That's substantive? It's a condition; maybe it's part of Working Conditions. Should we include it? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. We omitted Working Conditions section entirely. Should we include Working Conditions as a section? The allowed headings list does not include Working Conditions, but we could incorporate that info into Requirements or Qualifications? However, the instruction says use headings from the list (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It does not forbid adding other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, but likely they want only those headings. However, we need to preserve all substantive info. If we drop Working Conditions, we lose info about physical demands, lifting, etc. That is substantive. We need to include it somewhere. Could we put it under Requirements? Or Qualifications? It's more about working conditions, not qualifications. Could be part of Requirements? Possibly. The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't strictly forbid other headings, but suggests using those. To be safe, we could incorporate Working Conditions into Requirements (maybe as a sub-section). But we already used Requirements for education. We could expand Requirements to include both education and working conditions. Or we could add a separate heading like "Working Conditions" but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Better to incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications.
We could rename Requirements to "Requirements & Working Conditions" but that changes heading text; not in examples but maybe okay? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say you cannot modify the wording, but examples show those exact phrases. Safer to stick to those exact headings. So we need to fit Working Conditions into one of those headings.
Which heading best fits? Requirements could include both education and working conditions (like job requirements). Qualifications is more about skills/knowledge. So we can put working conditions under Requirements as a list.
Thus Requirements section will have education bullet and working conditions bullet points.
We need to preserve all substantive info: we have education bullet: "High school diploma or equivalent preferred." Then we need to include the working conditions details:
- 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
