We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting includes General Summary, Duties and Essential Job Functions, Job Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education), Working Conditions, Benefits (benefit programs), About Us, Company Overview. No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. We need to decide headings: Could use "About the role" for General Summary? Or "Responsibilities" for duties. "Qualifications" for knowledge/skills and work experience. "Skills" maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: Use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting includes General Summary, Duties and Essential Job Functions, Job Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education), Working Conditions, Benefits (benefit programs), About Us, Company Overview. No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. We need to decide headings: Could use "About the role" for General Summary? Or "Responsibilities" for duties. "Qualifications" for knowledge/skills and work experience. "Skills" maybe separate? But we can combine. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can pick appropriate ones. We need to preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: EEO, navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Remove application instructions (none). Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate, remove. Also remove "See careers.dollargeneral.com/benefits for additional details." That's maybe part of benefits but it's a link; we can keep benefit description but maybe drop the link? It's not substantive? It's a reference; we could keep but it's not essential. Probably safe to keep benefit description but drop the link sentence. Also remove "About Us Work Where You Matter ..." and "Company Overview ..." maybe those are not required sections but could be considered "About the role"? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The "About Us" and "Company Overview" are substantive but not among the listed headings. We could map them to "About the role" maybe. But we already have General Summary. Could combine General Summary and About Us into "About the role". However we must not lose info. Let's think: The posting includes "General Summary:" then a paragraph. Then "Duties and Essential Job Functions:" then bullet-like sentences. Then "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" then list. Then "Work Experience and/or Education". Then "Working Conditions". Then benefits paragraph. Then "About Us" paragraph. Then "Company Overview". We could create sections: About the role (General Summary + About Us + Company Overview?), Responsibilities (Duties), Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills + Work Experience/Education), Skills (maybe separate but could be part of Qualifications), Benefits (benefit programs). Working Conditions maybe could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? Not listed as a heading but we could include as a section if we want, but headings list doesn't include Working Conditions. Could we create a custom 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. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. Working Conditions could go under Responsibilities or Qualifications? Probably under Responsibilities as part of job functions. But we can also create a "Requirements" heading for work experience/education. The examples include Requirements. So we can use Requirements for work experience/education. Skills for knowledge and skills. Benefits for benefits. About the role for general summary. Responsibilities for duties. That covers all.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the details from each section.
Let's extract:

Learn more about Dollar General at www.dollargeneral.com/about-us.html.
We should remove the "Learn more about Dollar General at ..." maybe it's navigation/link; but it's substantive? It's a link; could be considered boilerplate? Might be okay to keep but it's a URL. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not navigation per se but could be considered external link; but it's part of company overview. Might keep but it's not essential. Safer to keep the sentence but maybe drop the URL? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The URL is substantive? It's a reference; but it's not critical. I'd keep it.
Now we need to map to headings:
About the role
-> include General Summary + About Us + Company Overview? That might be too much but okay. However About the role likely should be just the general summary. But we have extra sections About Us and Company Overview that are not covered elsewhere. Could we make a separate heading like "About the company"? Not in list. Could we put them under "About the role" as extra paragraphs? That would preserve info. It's okay.
Alternatively we could make "About the role" for General Summary, and then maybe add another heading like "About the company" but not allowed. So we fold About Us and Company Overview into About the role.
Responsibilities: duties list.
Requirements: work experience/education.
Skills: knowledge and skills.
Benefits: benefits.
We could also include Working Conditions under Responsibilities or maybe as a separate section "Requirements"? But we already used Requirements for education. Could add another heading like "Working conditions" but not in list. Could incorporate into Responsibilities as extra bullet points.
Let's decide:
- About the role: General Summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Duties list + Working Conditions details (maybe as sub-bullets).
- Requirements: Work Experience/Education.
- Skills: Knowledge and Skills list.
- Benefits: Benefits paragraph.
We must not create empty sections.
