Business Development$20/hrPart-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes mission statement, culture, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Purple". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. Content includes: - Intro paragraph about Purple mission, culture, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Purple". The instructions list possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate ones. We have: - Compensation: $20 hourly + monthly commissions on qualifying mattress sales. - Job Summary: description of role. - Job Description: essential duties and responsibilities (Drive Sales & KPIs, Personal Development, Uphold Visual and Operational Standards). Those are duties. - Required Skills, Education And Experience: list of requirements. - Physical Requirements: details. - Work Hours (Good Faith Estimate): part-time 15-29 hours per week. - PURPLE PERKS: list of benefits: 401(k) Match, Earn a Mattress, Purple Swag, Amazing Purple Products. - WHY WORK AT PURPLE?: bullet points: Make your mark, Gain unique experience, Awesome culture. - EEO statement: we need to remove boilerplate EEO etc. So drop that. - Also there is a line about Massachusetts lie detector test: that's legal boilerplate, remove. Thus we need to produce sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (skills/education/experience + physical requirements?), "Benefits" (perks + why work at Purple?), "Pay" (compensation), "Schedule" (work hours). Could combine some. But we must not create sections with filler. All sections have real content. We need to use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists or paragraphs. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not present. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove duplicated lines. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate EEO etc. Let's extract substantive content: Intro paragraph (mission etc.): "Purple is a digitally-native vertical brand with a mission to help people feel and live better through innovative comfort solutions.

All have content. We need to use

      for each heading. Inside each section, we can use

      for prose, and

      • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points. We need to avoid duplication: The "Ability to work a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays" appears under Drive Sales & KPIs; also schedule section mentions 15-29 hours per week. We'll keep both. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate EEO etc. Already removed. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:

        But note: The responsibilities list includes some items that are more like duties; we might split into categories but not required. It's okay.

        Requirements

        We could split into Skills/Education/Experience and Physical Requirements. But we can combine into one Requirements section with sublists? The instruction says use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists. We could have:

          Requirements

          Education and Experience

          but we cannot use h4? Not prohibited but they said use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to h3 headings only. If we need subheadings, we could use

          or . But better to keep one Requirements section with two lists: one for Education/Experience/Skills, another for Physical Requirements. We'll do:

          Requirements

          • Minimum of high school diploma or equivalent
          • 2+ years of experience working in a retail environment
