Learn more about Dollar General at www.dollargeneral.com/about-us.html. We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (General Summary), "Responsibilities" (Duties and Essential Job Functions), "Qualifications" (Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills + Work Experience/Education?), "Skills" maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if there is real specific content. We have content for: About the role (General Summary). Responsibilities (Duties and Essential Job Functions). Qualifications (Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills). Work Experience/Education could be part of Qualifications or separate "Requirements". The instruction includes "Requirements" as possible heading. We could put "Requirements" for Work Experience/Education. Skills could be separate but we have knowledge and skills already; maybe we can put Skills under Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's create sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (includes knowledge/skills and education), Benefits. Possibly Working Conditions could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? It's more about physical demands; could be its own section "Working Conditions" but not in the list of allowed headings. The allowed headings list does not include Working Conditions, but we could still use a heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? 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 map content to those headings. Working Conditions could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? Probably Responsibilities includes duties; Working Conditions is about environment; maybe we can include under Responsibilities as part of duties? But it's not duty. Could be under Qualifications? Not really. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include Working Conditions somewhere. Perhaps we can include it under "Responsibilities" as a bullet list? Or we could create a section "Requirements" and put Working Conditions there? Requirements often include physical demands. So we can put Working Conditions under "Requirements". That seems plausible. Thus sections: - About the role: General Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Duties and Essential Job Functions list. - Requirements: Work Experience/Education + Working Conditions (maybe also knowledge/skills? but we have Qualifications for knowledge/skills). We'll split: Qualifications for knowledge/skills, Requirements for education and working conditions. - Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills list. - Benefits: Benefits paragraph. We should not include Pay or Schedule as not present. We must not include boilerplate like "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." That's substantive? It's a detail about relocation assistance not available. It's part of Working Conditions? It's a condition. We'll keep it. We must remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, application instructions. The text includes "Note: Applications will remain open until a candidate is selected and has accepted." That's application instruction; remove. Also "See careers.dollargeneral.com/benefits for additional details." That's a link; maybe keep as part of benefits? It's a reference; but it's not boilerplate; it's substantive info about where to see details. Might keep. However it's like a link; but we can keep as plain text. Also "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "About Us" and "Company Overview" sections: Are they substantive? They describe company; could be considered "About the role"? But we already have About 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 and Company Overview are generic company description; maybe we can omit them as they are not specific to the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but is company overview substantive? It's generic but still about the company. However they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview is not those; it's substantive about the company. But the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could we combine About Us and Company Overview into "About the role"? Might be redundant. However the "About the role" heading is supposed to be about the role, not company. The examples include "About the role". So we could put company overview under "About the role"? But the general summary already describes role. Adding company overview may be okay but could be considered filler? It's not filler; it's specific info about the company. However the instruction says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." It doesn't forbid company overview. But we need to decide. Given typical job posting reformatting, they'd include sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. Company overview often omitted as it's generic. I'd lean to omit About Us and Company Overview to keep sections thin. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit, we lose that info. However the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep it. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include under "About the role" as a paragraph after the general summary. That would be substantive and not filler. Thus About the role section will contain two paragraphs: General Summary and Company Overview (maybe combined with About Us). But we need to avoid duplication. The About Us and Company Overview are similar; we can combine them into a concise paragraph preserving details. Let's extract substantive info from About Us and Company Overview: About Us: "Work Where You Matter At Dollar General, our mission is Serving Others! We value each and every one of our employees. Whether you are looking to launch a new career in one of our many convenient Store locations, Distribution Centers, Store Support Center or with our Private Fleet Team, we are proud to provide a wide range of career opportunities. We are not just a retail company; we are a company that values the unique strengths and perspectives that each individual brings. Your difference truly makes a difference at Dollar General. How would you like to Serve? Join the Dollar General Journey and see how your career can thrive." Company Overview: "Dollar General Corporation has been delivering value to shoppers for more than 80 years. Dollar General helps shoppers Save time. Save money.

We can combine: "Dollar General’s mission is Serving Others; they value employees and offer career opportunities in stores, distribution centers, support centers, and private fleet. They’ve been delivering value for over 80 years, helping shoppers save time and money with everyday low prices on a broad range of products in convenient neighborhood locations." We'll keep that as a paragraph. Now we need to format lists. Responsibilities: list of duties: - 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 could split each sentence into
