We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to extract content from posting.
Let's parse:
Overview: description of Ulta Beauty, mission etc. Could be "About the role" maybe? Actually "Overview" is generic description of company and role. Could be placed under "About the role". We'll include that.
General Summary & Scope: details about responsibilities. Could be under "Responsibilities". Also "PRINCIPAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES" includes many duties. So we can combine.
Job Qualifications: Education, Experience, etc. Could be under "Qualifications" and "Skills". Also "Special Position Requirements" includes schedule flexibility etc. That could go under "Schedule". Also "WORKING CONDITIONS" maybe not needed.
Pay: The pay range is given: $28.00 - $35.00 / Hour with opportunity for bonus. Also benefits info: Full-time positions eligible for paid time off, health, dental, vision, life and disability benefits. Part-time positions eligible for dental, vision, life, and disability benefits. Also link to benefits page.
Thus we have Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: "Work a flexible, full-time schedule to include days, evenings, weekends, holidays". Also "Attend corporate business meetings and conferences". So schedule section.
We also have "About" section at end describing company. Could be under "About the role"? Actually "About" is company overview. Could be separate "About the role"? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have About the role (maybe includes overview and company description). Responsibilities (principal duties). Requirements (maybe education/experience?). Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? but we can separate: Requirements could be "Education" and "Experience"? Qualifications could be "Skills"? Actually they listed both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide what to put where. The posting has "Job Qualifications" with subparts Education, Experience, Financial management, Retail management, Leadership management. Then "Skills" list. Then "Special Position Requirements". So we could map:
- About the role: Overview + General Summary & Scope? Actually General Summary & Scope is more responsibilities. But we can put overview there.
- Responsibilities: PRINCIPAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES (Performance, People, Process).
- Requirements: Education and Experience (maybe also Special Position Requirements? but schedule is separate). Could also include "Special Position Requirements" under Requirements? But we have Schedule separate.
- Qualifications: maybe the leadership/financial/retail management specifics? Actually those are under Experience bullet points. Could be under Qualifications.
- Skills: the Skills list.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: pay range.
- Schedule: flexible schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is a statement about considering applicants with arrest records etc. That's EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; we should remove it.
Also remove navigation/legal etc.
Now craft HTML.
We'll use
for each heading. Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract specifics.
About the role: Overview paragraph: "Experience a place of energy, passion, and excitement. A place where the joy of discovery and uncommon artistry blend to create exhilarating buying experiences—for true beauty enthusiasts. At Ulta Beauty, we’re transforming the world one shade, one lash, one cut at a time. Because beauty is powerful. If you seek greater purpose—a place of vision, mission, and lived values—where voices are heard, contributions valued and recognized and growth opportunities abound, consider Ulta Beauty. Nowhere else are the possibilities quite this beautiful."
Also maybe include General Summary & Scope? But that is more responsibilities. We'll keep overview only.
Responsibilities: Need to list all duties from PRINCIPAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES.

We'll put these as
- items.
Requirements: Education and Experience.
Education: "Bachelor’s degree is preferred"
Experience: "2-3+ years of fast-paced, retail management, or other relevant work experience" plus sub-bullets: Financial management: success with driving top-line sales, interpreting reporting data, managing payroll budgets, and controlling expense; Retail management: proven ability with monitoring inventory levels, achieving operational excellence, driving a service culture, and executing merchandising directives; Leadership management: experience with attracting, developing, and motivating top talent, swiftly adapting to change and leading others through the change-curve, developing collaborative relationships with others, and leading and influencing a team.
We'll list as
- .
Qualifications: maybe the same as Experience? But we already used Experience under Requirements. Could put Qualifications as the skills? Actually we have Skills separate. So Qualifications could be the combination of Education, Experience, etc. But to avoid duplication, we can treat Requirements as Education & Experience, Qualifications as the leadership/financial/retail management specifics? However the posting lumps those under Experience bullet points. Might be okay to put them under Requirements as sub-items.
But we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll allocate:
- Requirements: Education and Experience (including the sub-bullets).
- Qualifications: maybe the "Special Position Requirements"? Actually those are schedule etc. But we have Schedule separate. Could put Qualifications as the "Skills" but we have Skills separate. Hmm.
Better: Use Requirements for Education & Experience. Use Qualifications for the "Skills" list? But we have Skills heading separate. So maybe Qualifications for the "Special Position Requirements" (like flexible schedule, attend meetings). But we have Schedule heading for flexible schedule. Could combine.
Let's think: The posting has "Job Qualifications" heading with Education, Experience, Skills. Then "Special Position Requirements". So we could map:
- Requirements: Education & Experience (under Job Qualifications)
- Qualifications: Skills (under Job Qualifications) ??? But then Skills heading would be duplicate.
Alternatively, we could treat "Job Qualifications" as Qualifications section, and inside we have subheadings Education, Experience, Skills. But we are not allowed to add extra headings beyond the specified ones? We can still use
and
- inside.
Thus we could have:
- Financial management: success with driving top-line sales, interpreting reporting data, managing payroll budgets, and controlling expense
- Retail management: proven ability with monitoring inventory levels, achieving operational excellence, driving a service culture, and executing merchandising directives
- Leadership management: experience with attracting, developing, and motivating top talent, swiftly adapting to change and leading others through the change-curve, developing collaborative relationships with others, and leading and influencing a team
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree is preferred
Experience: 2-3+ years of fast-paced, retail management, or other relevant work experience
Skills: ... list
But then we would have a separate Skills heading duplicate. Better to not have separate Skills heading if we include skills under Qualifications. But the instruction says we can use those headings; we don't have to use all. We can choose to include only those with real content. So we could have Qualifications section that includes Education, Experience, Skills. Then we don't need a separate Skills heading. That seems logical. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe not needed if we put education/experience under Qualifications), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need Requirements heading
