We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From job description: - General Summary: description of role. Could be "About the role". Provide prose. - Duties and Essential Job Functions: list of duties. That's responsibilities. - Job Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience and/or Education. Could be "Qualifications" or "Skills". We need to separate maybe "Qualifications" for education/experience, "Skills" for knowledge and skills. - Working Conditions: maybe not a standard heading; but we could include under "Requirements"? Not typical. The instruction says use those headings only. We could put working conditions under "Requirements" maybe? But better to only include sections that match headings. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Pay and Schedule not mentioned, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, relocation assistance note, etc. Also remove "Note: Applications will remain open..." etc. Also remove "About Us", "Work Where You Matter", "Company Overview". Those are boilerplate? They are not required but might be considered extra. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" etc might be considered not boilerplate but could be considered extra; but we should preserve ALL substantive information. Is "About Us" substantive? It's about company mission, values. Might be considered substantive but not required headings. However we only have allowed headings; we could put that under "About the role"? But that's about the role, not company. Could we create a section "About the role" and include both role summary and company overview? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine company overview into About the role? Might be okay. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information. If we combine, we must keep details. Let's extract substantive info: General Summary: The Sales Associate acts as a point of contact for our customers. The duties of the Sales Associate include assisting customers in locating and purchasing merchandise, operating the cash register, stocking merchandise, recovering merchandise, cleaning the store, and performing other duties as assigned by the Store Manager to maximize store profitability and customer satisfaction while protecting company assets. Duties and Essential Job Functions: - 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. Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills: - Effective interpersonal and oral communication skills. - Understanding of safety policies and practices. - Ability to read and follow plan-o-gram and merchandise presentation guidance. - Knowledge of basic cash handling procedures. - Basic mathematical skills. - Ability to perform IBM cash register functions. Work Experience and/or Education: - High school diploma or equivalent preferred. Working Conditions: - Frequent walking and standing - Frequent bending, stooping, and kneeling to run check out station, stock merchandise and unload trucks; which may also require the ability to push and/or pull rolltainers for stocking merchandise - Frequent handling of merchandise and equipment such as handheld scanners, pricing guns, box cutters, merchandise containers, two-wheel dollies, U-boats (six-wheel carts), and rolltainers - Frequent and proper lifting of up to 40 pounds; occasional lifting of up to 55 pounds - Occasional climbing (using step ladder) up to heights of six feet - Fast-paced environment; moderate noise level - Occasional exposure to outside weather conditions - Relocation assistance is not available for this position. (maybe remove as boilerplate? It's a condition but not standard heading; could be included under Working Conditions.) Benefits: - Dollar General is pleased to offer a wide range of benefit programs designed to care for the physical, mental and financial well-being of our employees and their families. - Available benefit programs include health insurance coverage options, a variety of supplemental programs, 401(k) Savings Plan, paid sick leave (where required by law), vacation, paid maternity and parental leave, and many more. - Eligibility and waiting period requirements may apply. See careers.dollargeneral.com/benefits for additional details. We should not include the note about applications remaining open, EEO, etc. We also have "About Us Work Where You Matter..." and "Company Overview". Those are substantive but not under allowed headings. Could we incorporate them into "About the role"? The About the role heading is for role description; but we could expand to include company overview. However the instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we could also use other headings? It says use those for section headings. Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. If we have extra content that doesn't fit, we might need to omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to fit all substantive info into those headings. We can put company overview under "About the role" as it's about the company and role context. Or we could create a separate section "About the role" and include both role summary and company overview. That seems acceptable. Thus sections: - About the role: includes General Summary + company overview (mission, values, etc). We'll keep prose. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Qualifications: maybe combine Work Experience/Education and Working Conditions? But Qualifications heading is for qualifications; we could put education/experience there. Working conditions maybe not qualifications. Could we put working conditions under "Requirements"? The heading "Requirements" is listed as an example. So we can use Requirements for working conditions and maybe also for knowledge/skills? But we also have Skills heading. So we can split: Knowledge and Skills -> Skills; Work Experience/Education -> Qualifications; Working Conditions -> Requirements. Thus:

About the role

... (General Summary + company overview)

Responsibilities

  • ... duties

Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent preferred.

Skills

  • ... knowledge and skills items

Requirements

  • ... working conditions items

Benefits

  • ... benefit programs
We must not include Pay or Schedule. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: The general summary sentence, the duties list, the knowledge/skills list, education line, working conditions list, benefits list, plus company overview details (mission, values, etc). Let's extract company overview text: "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.

It's substantive but maybe we can keep. We'll combine with General Summary. Now format. We must output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Be careful to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
