    But we might want to keep summary separate? Could be part of About the role. Next

    Next

    Requirements

    maybe for Education/Experience? The posting has "Qualification Requirements" then "Education And/or Experience". Could treat "Requirements" as education/experience, and "Qualifications" as language/skill? But we have separate headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Let's map: - Requirements: Education And/or Experience (Associate degree; or equivalent industry experience. 1 to 3 years outside sales experience. Direct to dealer preferred. Proven track record of success. Proven track record of success showing progressive levels of responsibility) - Qualifications: Language & Skill Requirements (Strong organizational skills. Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Strong communication skills both written and verbal. Ability to communicate across multiple departments within the company to achieve desired company results.) - Skills: General work environment (Overnight travel required – 50% Must possess a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record that meets Forney guidelines. Company Car Must be able to sit/drive for several hours at a time. Physically able to lift up to 50lbs on a regular basis.) But also there is "Key Performance Indicators" maybe could be under Requirements? But not a heading we have. Could include as a separate section? Not in list. Probably we can include as part of Responsibilities or Requirements? It's not a duty but performance metrics. Could be placed under Requirements as a list? Might be better to include as a separate section "Key Performance Indicators" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for those specific ones; we can add others if needed? It 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 exclusive. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine KPIs into Responsibilities or Requirements. Probably better to add a short paragraph under Requirements. Also "What We Offer" benefits: we need Benefits section. Thus:

    Benefits

    • 401K and Profit Sharing
    • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Pet insurance
    • Flex spending accounts
    • Other optional plans
    We should not include Pay or Schedule. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: we included company description, application period, summary, responsibilities, education/experience, language/skill, work environment, benefits. Did we miss anything? The "Must reside in territory" is in responsibilities list. Good. We also have "Company Car" mentioned under General work environment; we included that as part of work environment bullet. We have "Overnight travel required – 50%" included. We have "Key Performance Indicators Revenue Expense management Account obtainment Account penetration" - we haven't included that. Should we include? It's substantive. Could add as a list under Responsibilities or a separate section "Key Performance Indicators". Since not in example headings, but we can add a heading if we want. The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says prefer few substantive sections. Could add a short paragraph under Responsibilities: "Key Performance Indicators: Revenue, Expense management, Account obtainment, Account penetration." That preserves detail. Let's add a

    under Responsibilities after the list: "

    Key Performance Indicators: Revenue, Expense management, Account obtainment, Account penetration.

    " That keeps it. Now check for any duplicated lines: we have "Proven track record of success" appears twice in education/experience; we should keep both as they appear? The posting repeats it; we should preserve all substantive information, not remove duplicates unless they are boilerplate. It's not boilerplate; it's repeated emphasis. We'll keep both. Now ensure we didn't include any cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. None. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML:
