We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes General Summary, Duties and Essential Job Functions (list), Job Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education), Working Conditions (list). Also includes 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, but they might be considered boilerplate? However they are substantive about the company. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep About Us and Company Overview if they are substantive. However they might be considered generic but still part of job posting. Usually we keep them. But we need to decide sections: About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements (Job Qualifications), maybe Skills (Knowledge and Skills), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (none). Also Working Conditions could be a section? Not in the list of allowed headings; allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings. "Job Qualifications" includes Knowledge and Skills and Work Experience/Education. Could split into Requirements (maybe experience/education) and Skills (knowledge/skills). The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to see if we have content for each. - About the role: General Summary -> yes. - Responsibilities: Duties And Essential Job Functions -> yes. - Requirements: maybe Work Experience and/or Education -> yes. - Qualifications: maybe Knowledge and Skills? Actually Qualifications could be same as Requirements? But we have both headings. Could put Knowledge and Skills under Skills section, and Work Experience/Education under Requirements. Qualifications maybe we could omit if redundant. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications allowed. Could put Requirements = Education/Experience, Qualifications = Knowledge and Skills. Or we could combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Knowledge and Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have both headings allowed; we could use Requirements for experience/education, and Skills for knowledge/skills. Qualifications maybe we skip if no distinct content. However the posting has "Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills" and "Work Experience and/or Education". So we could map: - Requirements: Work Experience and/or Education (High school diploma or equivalent preferred) - Skills: Knowledge and Skills (list) - Qualifications: maybe we could omit because it's overlapping. But we could also put Qualifications as same as Skills? Might be redundant. Better to omit Qualifications section if no distinct content beyond Skills. But we have both headings allowed; we can choose to not include Qualifications if we think it's thin. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we put Qualifications heading but no specific content distinct from Skills, that might be considered filler. So better to omit Qualifications. - Benefits: none -> omit. - Pay: none -> omit. - Schedule: none -> omit. Also we have Working Conditions section not in allowed headings; we cannot create a heading not listed. So we need to incorporate Working Conditions somewhere else, maybe under Responsibilities or Requirements? But it's not duties; it's about physical demands. Could we put it under Responsibilities? Not really. Could we put it under Requirements? Possibly as part of job requirements. But the instruction says use headings only from the list. So we must embed Working Conditions content within one of those sections, maybe under Responsibilities as additional bullet points? Or under Requirements as "Physical requirements". However 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. Likely they expect only those headings. So we need to fit Working Conditions into one of those. Perhaps under Responsibilities as part of duties? But it's not a duty; it's working conditions. Could be under Requirements as "Physical requirements". Might be acceptable. Alternatively we could create a section "Requirements" and include both education/experience and physical demands. That seems plausible. Thus final HTML:

We should also include any About Us and Company Overview? The instruction says remove boilerplate, but About Us and Company Overview might be considered boilerplate but also substantive. However they are not under allowed headings. Could we add a section "About the role" already used for General Summary. Could we add another section like "Company Overview"? Not allowed. So we must omit them. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we omit About Us and Company Overview, we are losing substantive information. But maybe they consider that as boilerplate not required to keep. The instruction about removing boilerplate includes "cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". It does not explicitly mention company overview. However they said "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So only those specific types. So About Us and Company Overview are not those types, so we should keep them. But we have no heading for them. Could we add a heading like "About the company"? Not in allowed list. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list? 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 for sections. It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but the examples are those. Safer to stick to those. However we risk losing substantive info. Perhaps we can incorporate About Us and Company Overview into the About the role section? But that would be mixing role description with company overview. Could we add a paragraph after the General Summary about the company? That would be preserving info while still using allowed heading. The About the role section could contain both the general summary and company overview. That seems acceptable. Thus we can add a

after the General Summary paragraph containing the About Us and Company Overview text (trimmed). Let's extract that text: "About Us Work Where You Matter At Dollar General, our mission is Serving Others! We value each and every one of our employees.
