We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, relocation assistance not available, etc. Also "About Us" and "Company Overview" maybe considered boilerplate? The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" and "Company Overview" might be considered generic corporate info, but they are substantive? Might be considered not part of job description; but they are not boilerplate like EEO. However they might be considered "About Us" which is generic. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could include an "About the company" section? Not listed as allowed headings but we could use "About the role" etc. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those.
We have:
General Summary -> could be About the role (or Responsibilities?). Probably About the role.
Duties And Essential Job Functions -> Responsibilities.
Job Qualifications -> includes Knowledge and Skills (Skills), Work Experience and/or Education (Requirements), Working Conditions (maybe Requirements? but could be part of Qualifications). We could have Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (knowledge and skills). Working Conditions maybe part of Requirements? But we could include a separate section? Not in allowed list. Could incorporate into Requirements as a paragraph.
We should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections because not present.
We need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each duty as list item, each qualification as list item, etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." and "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." Also maybe "About Us" and "Company Overview" sections? They are not part of the job description but they are present. 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 listed as boilerplate but they are generic corporate info. Might be considered not part of the job posting's substantive content for the role. However they are not duplicated lines. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information". Are those substantive? They describe the company, not the role. Might be considered not needed for the job posting but they are part of the description. However typical job posting includes company overview; but the instruction didn't say to remove company overview. It only listed specific boilerplate types. So we might keep them? But we have no section for company overview in allowed headings. Could we put them under a generic
without heading? 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 says use those for section headings. It might be okay to have other headings but they'd be non-standard. Safer to stick to allowed headings and maybe put company overview in a
under a heading like "About the role"? But that would mix.
Better to treat "About Us" and "Company Overview" as not required for the job posting; we could drop them as they are not specific to the role. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we drop them, we are losing info. But maybe they are considered boilerplate? Not exactly. However they are generic corporate marketing. The instruction didn't list them as boilerplate to remove, but they might be considered "navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate"? Not exactly. They are more like "About Us". Could be considered not essential to the job. But to be safe, we could include them as a
after the sections without a heading? The instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Could we add a heading like "About the company"? Not in list but maybe acceptable. However they said "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. So we could add a heading like "About the company". But they'd prefer few substantive sections. Adding another section may be okay.
But we need to decide. I think we should include company overview as a
under a heading like "About the company" or maybe under "About the role"? The "About the role" heading is for role summary, not company. The General Summary already covers role. So we could keep General Summary as About the role. Then we could add a section "About the company" with the About Us and Company Overview paragraphs combined.
But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding a company section adds another section, making more sections. Might be okay if we keep it minimal.
Alternatively, we could incorporate the About Us and Company Overview into a single
after the sections without a heading, but that might be odd.
Given the instruction to preserve ALL substantive information, I'd include them.
Thus sections:
- About the role (General Summary)
- Responsibilities (Duties And Essential Job Functions)
- Requirements (Work Experience and/or Education + maybe Working Conditions? but we can put Working Conditions under Requirements as a list)
- Skills (Knowledge and Skills)
- About the company (About Us + Company Overview)
We must not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce:
