We need to decide sections.
We have:
- General Summary (maybe "About the role"): we can put as
About the role
with prose.
- Duties and Essential Job Functions: could be "Responsibilities". Use - for list.
- Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills: could be "Qualifications" or "Skills". Could combine.
- Work Experience and/or Education: could be "Requirements" (education). Could be part of Qualifications.
- Working Conditions: maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted unless we have a specific heading like "Working Conditions" not in list. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Working Conditions not listed; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably better to include as part of Responsibilities? But it's not a duty; it's about physical demands. Could be omitted? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we must only use those headings; we can use those headings for sections. It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That implies we should use those headings when appropriate. If we have content that doesn't fit those, we could still use a heading but not from list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to map content to those headings.
We have benefits content: we can make a Benefits section.
Pay: not mentioned; do not create Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned; do not create Schedule.
Requirements: could include education (high school diploma or equivalent preferred). Also maybe experience? Not specified. So we can have Requirements with that.
Qualifications/Skills: we have knowledge and skills list. Could combine into Skills section.
Responsibilities: duties list.
About the role: general summary.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.

We removed EEO line, About Us, Company Overview (these are boilerplate? They are not required but could be considered "About Us" content. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us and Company Overview are not explicitly prohibited, but they are generic marketing. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The About Us and Company Overview contain substantive info about the company. Should we keep? The instruction says remove boilerplate; About Us could be considered boilerplate but it's specific to Dollar General. However typical job postings include such sections; but the instruction didn't explicitly say to remove About Us. It said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us is not those. So we might keep it. But we have limited headings; we could add an "About the company" section using About the company
but not in the list. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are examples. Safer to stick to those headings. Could we incorporate About Us into About the role? Not really. Could we add a separate section with heading About the company
even if not in list? Might be okay but risk. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." This implies we should use those headings for sections; but not that we cannot use others. However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding About the company would be another section. Might be okay.
But we need to decide: The About Us and Company Overview contain substantive info about the company's mission, values, overview. It's likely they want to keep that. However the instruction says remove boilerplate; About Us could be considered boilerplate but it's specific. Many similar tasks in this dataset expect to keep About Us as a section. Let's check typical patterns: In prior similar tasks, they kept "About the company" or "About us" as a section with . The instruction didn't forbid it. So I'll include an About the company section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, About the company.
We need to ensure we don't repeat content. About the company can combine the "Work Where You Matter" and "Company Overview" paragraphs.
