We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. The job description includes: General Summary, Duties And Essential Job Functions, Job Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education, Working Conditions). Also there is "About Us" and "Company Overview" but those are boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" and "Company Overview" might be considered boilerplate? Not exactly legal/EEO, but they are generic company description. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't explicitly say to remove About Us/Company Overview. However, they might be considered non-substantive? The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The About Us and Company Overview are generic fluff; they might be considered boilerplate. But they are not explicitly listed to remove. However, they are not specific to the job; they are generic company info. Likely we should drop them as they are not substantive job details. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The About Us and Company Overview are substantive about the company but not about the job. The job posting likely includes them but we might keep them? The instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It does not say to remove company overview. However, they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About Us and Company Overview would add sections. Might be okay but they'd be thin? They have some content. But the instruction also 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 specific content (though generic). I'd lean to keep them as sections if they are present. However, the earlier part: "Job Description Job Details General Summary: ..." then "Duties And Essential Job Functions" then "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills ..." then "Work Experience and/or Education" then "Working Conditions". Then after that there is "Relocation assistance is not available for this position. Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate; should remove. Then "About Us Work Where You Matter ..." then "Company Overview Dollar General Corporation has been delivering value ...". Those are not EEO but still generic. I'd keep them as sections maybe "About Us" and "Company Overview". However, the instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." They gave examples but not limited to those. So we can use any heading that matches content. So we could have headings: General Summary, Duties and Essential Job Functions, Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education, Working Conditions, About Us, Company Overview.
We need to use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." They gave examples but not limited to those. So we can use any heading that matches content. So we could have headings: General Summary, Duties and Essential Job Functions, Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education, Working Conditions, About Us, Company Overview.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we need to parse the content into lists where appropriate.
General Summary: a paragraph.
Duties And Essential Job Functions: a list of duties (many sentences). We'll make each duty as
- .
Job Qualifications: includes Knowledge and Skills (list), Work Experience and/or Education (maybe a paragraph or list?), Working Conditions (list). We'll treat each as sub-sections? Could combine under Qualifications heading with subheadings? But instruction only says use
for section headings. Could we have nested headings? Not specified. Probably better to have separate sections for each: Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education, Working Conditions.
Thus we will have headings: General Summary, Duties and Essential Job Functions, Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education, Working Conditions, About Us, Company Overview.
Now we need to extract content.
Let's copy the relevant text.

It says "Relocation assistance is not available for this position." That's not a working condition but a note. Could be placed as a separate paragraph maybe under Working Conditions or as its own note. Since it's not a duty/requirement/benefit, we can put as
. But we might also drop it as it's not a benefit? It's a note about relocation assistance not available. Could be considered a detail about the job. I'd keep it as a paragraph under Working Conditions or as a separate note. However, the instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". This is specific content. So we could add a paragraph after Working Conditions list.
But we already have Working Conditions section; we can add a
after the list.

Check for duplicate lines: ensure we didn't include EEO line. We removed "Dollar General Corporation is an equal opportunity employer." Good.
Check for any other boilerplate: "Job Description Job Details" heading? Not needed.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? Let's review original text:
