SALES ASSOCIATE in HASTINGS MI S19442
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists
- Use
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading
- Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate (EEO, equal opportunity, scam warnings, application instructions)
- Include section ONLY when real specific content exists
- Never emit heading with filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless stated
- Output ONLY HTML fragment, no html/body, no markdown fences
Looking at the content:
1. General Summary - prose paragraph
2. Duties And Essential Job Functions - list of duties
3. Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills - list of skills/knowledge
4. Work Experience and/or Education - one line (high school diploma preferred)
4. Working Conditions - list of physical requirements/conditions
5. About Us / Company Overview - company description (could be "About the company" section)
The posting doesn't have explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. It mentions "Relocation assistance is not available" but that's not a benefits section. It has EEO statement at end which should be removed.
I'll structure:
- About the role (General Summary)
- Responsibilities (Duties)
- Requirements (Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills + Work Experience/Education + Working Conditions)
Working Conditions could be separate or part of Requirements. Since it's physical requirements, I'll include under Requirements or make a separate "Working Conditions" section. The rules mention headings like "Requirements, Qualifications, Skills" - Working Conditions is a type of requirement. I'll include as part of Requirements or separate subsection. But the rule says use h3 for section headings like "Requirements". I could have one Requirements section with sub-lists, but the instruction says use ul/li for lists. I'll make a Requirements section with multiple lists.
Better: Have "Requirements" heading, then include Knowledge and Skills, Education, Working Conditions as separate lists under that heading. Or separate headings? The rules say "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So "Requirements" is a heading. "Qualifications" and "Skills" are also example headings. The posting has "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" and "Work Experience and/or Education". I could combine into "Requirements" heading with two lists: "Knowledge and Skills" and "Education". And "Working Conditions" could be another list under Requirements or separate heading. Since Working Conditions is distinct, I'll make it a separate h3 "Working Conditions". That's a common section.
But the rule: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". Working Conditions has specific content. So I'll include.
Also "About Us" and "Company Overview" - that's company description. Could be "About the company" heading. The rules don't list that as example but it's substantive. I'll include as "About the company".
Now, remove EEO statement: "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." - remove.
Also remove "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." - that's minor metadata, fold into short p or drop. I'll drop.
Now, write HTML.

Requirements
Knowledge and Skills
-- but rule says use h3 for section headings, not h4. The rule only mentions h3. Should I use h3 for subsections? The rule: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid h4 but says use h3 for section headings. Probably they want only h3 for top-level sections. I could make "Knowledge and Skills" as a list under Requirements without subheading, but that loses structure. However, the instruction says "use for section headings" and "use - for any list". It doesn't say we cannot use h4. But to be safe, I'll keep only h3 headings. I can make separate h3 for "Knowledge and Skills", "Education", "Working Conditions". But the example headings include "Qualifications, Skills". So maybe "Qualifications" and "Skills" are separate. The posting has "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" and "Work Experience and/or Education". I could do:
Qualifications
...knowledge and skills...
Education
High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
Working Conditions
...conditions...
But "Qualifications" and "Skills" are separate example headings. The posting combines them. I'll do "Qualifications" for knowledge and skills, and "Education" for education. However, the rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into one "Requirements" section with multiple lists. But the rule says use h3 for section headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. It doesn't say we must use all. I'll use "Requirements" as h3, then include the lists with maybe bold labels? But we cannot use markdown. Could use Knowledge and Skills
then list. But that's not semantic. Better to use h3 for each distinct category? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." This suggests those are the allowed section headings. So we should only use those exact headings? It says "e.g." meaning for example. But likely they want us to use those standard headings. The posting has "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" which maps to "Qualifications" or "Skills". "Work Experience and/or Education" maps to "Qualifications" or "Requirements". "Working Conditions" is not in the example list, but it's a real section. The rule says include section ONLY when posting has real content. Working Conditions has real content. But the example headings don't include it. However, the rule says "e.g." so not exhaustive. I think it's okay to add "Working Conditions" as h3.
But to be safe, I'll map to the example headings: Use "Requirements" for the combined qualifications/education, and "Working Conditions" as separate h3. Or maybe "Qualifications" for knowledge/skills, "Education" for education, but "Education" not in example. The example includes "Qualifications, Skills". So I could do "Qualifications" for knowledge/skills, and "Skills" maybe redundant. I'll do:
Qualifications
...knowledge and skills...
Education
-- but not in example. Hmm.
Alternatively, use "Requirements" as heading and include both knowledge/skills and education as lists under it, with maybe a paragraph label. But the rule says use ul/li for lists, p for prose. I can do:
Requirements
Knowledge and Skills
...
Education
High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
Working Conditions
...
But using strong inside p is okay. However, the rule says "use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." It doesn't forbid using strong. But they might want clean semantic HTML. Could use
but not allowed? The rule only specifies h3 for section headings. It doesn't say we cannot use h4. But to follow the spirit, I'll keep only h3 headings for major sections. I'll create three h3 sections: "Qualifications", "Education", "Working Conditions". But "Education" is not in example. The example includes "Qualifications, Skills". Maybe "Qualifications" covers both knowledge/skills and education. I'll combine into "Qualifications" with two lists: one for knowledge/skills, one for education (though education is a single line). And "Working Conditions" separate.
Let's see the posting: "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" and "Work Experience and/or Education". That's two subsections. I'll make "Qualifications" heading and include both as separate lists with a leading paragraph for each label.
But the rule: "use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". Education is not a list, it's a single statement. Could be a paragraph.
I'll do:
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.
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
