We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like 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. 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 parse the job description and extract sections. The description includes: - Job Description paragraph: "The ideal Salesperson is passionate about fashion and styling and has the ability to cultivate and grow a customer following, both digitally and in-store." - "A day in the life…" then bullet-like sentences: Set and achieve sales goals, for both in-store and digital selling with effective use of selling tools (inclusive of text and social media); Build lasting relationships with customers; Give the best service to our customers on their terms; Provide honest and confident feedback to customers about style and fit; Seek fashion and product knowledge to build your expertise; Work with the team to keep the department customer ready, which means filling orders, stocking, re-merchandising, price markdowns, and light cleaning; Grow relationships by opening new Nordstrom Rewards program accounts. - "The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs" - "This role may require you to be flexible to occasionally performing work/duties in a department other than the one you were hired into" - "You own this if you have…" then bullet-like: Excellent communication and people skills; A self-motivated, goal oriented focus; Strong interest to use networking and technology to achieve sales goals; The ability to excel in a team environment; The ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment; Organization and follow through; The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs - Physical Requirements: description. - Pay Range Details: includes pay range $20.15 - $20.95 Hourly, commission details. - Benefits: list. - "A few more important points..." includes legal notices, etc. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the legal notices about background checks, etc. Also drop the "Current Nordstrom employees: To apply..." and the copyright line. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph), Responsibilities (the day in the life list), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (the "You own this if you have…" list), Physical Requirements maybe part of Requirements or separate? Could be a separate section but we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Physical Requirements into Requirements or Qualifications. Benefits section definitely present. Pay section present (pay range and commission). Schedule section? The posting mentions schedule varies, flexible schedule, etc. That could be part of Responsibilities or a Schedule section. Since schedule is mentioned, we could create a Schedule section with the specific statements: "The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs" and "This role may require you to be flexible to occasionally performing work/duties in a department other than the one you were hired into" and "The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs". However, we need to avoid filler placeholder text like "varies". The phrase "will vary by week depending on business needs" is substantive. It's not just "varies". So we can include schedule section. But we need to ensure we don't create sections with only generic statements. The schedule statements are specific enough. We also have "Physical Requirements:" which is specific. We could have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (day in the life), Requirements (skills + physical requirements), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Salesperson. We need to use

    for each section heading. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

      . We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "The ideal Salesperson is passionate about fashion and styling and has the ability to cultivate and grow a customer following, both digitally and in-store." That's about the role. Responsibilities list: - Set and achieve sales goals, for both in-store and digital selling with effective use of selling tools (inclusive of text and social media) - Build lasting relationships with customers - Give the best service to our customers on their terms - Provide honest and confident feedback to customers about style and fit - Seek fashion and product knowledge to build your expertise - Work with the team to keep the department customer ready, which means filling orders, stocking, re-merchandising, price markdowns, and light cleaning - Grow relationships by opening new Nordstrom Rewards program accounts Also maybe "The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs" and "This role may require you to be flexible to occasionally performing work/duties in a department other than the one you were hired into" could be responsibilities or schedule. We'll treat schedule separately. Requirements/Skills list: - Excellent communication and people skills - A self-motivated, goal oriented focus - Strong interest to use networking and technology to achieve sales goals - The ability to excel in a team environment - The ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment - Organization and follow through - The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs Physical Requirements paragraph: "Continuous movement for 6-8 hours per shift, which includes frequent bending, twisting, squatting, flexing and reaching in order to handle merchandise and assist customers.Frequent use of hands for grasping, fine manipulation, pushing and pullingHandle bulky and sometimes awkwardly shaped items, which includes reaching for and lifting these items above the head. Regularly lift items weighing up to 10 pounds and occasionally up to 25 pounds" Note there is missing punctuation but we keep as is. Benefits list: - Medical/Vision, Dental, Retirement and Paid Time Away - Life Insurance and Disability - Merchandise Discount and EAP Resources - 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more. Also "This position may be eligible for performance-based incentives/bonuses." Could be part of benefits or pay. We'll include in Benefits. Pay details: - Pay range: $20.15 - $20.95 Hourly - Commission: Apparel, shoes, and accessories sales typically range from 3% to 14.5%. The commission Beauty and Men’s Fragrance sales roles typically receive is 3%. Schedule details: - The hours and schedule for this position will vary by week depending on business needs - This role may require you to be flexible to occasionally performing work/duties in a department other than the one you were hired into - The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs (already in skills but could be duplicate; we might keep only once.) We need to avoid duplication. The schedule bullet appears also in skills list; we could keep it only under Skills or Schedule. To avoid duplication, we could keep schedule statements only under Schedule, and remove from Skills list. But the skills list includes "The ability to work a flexible schedule based on business needs". That's essentially same as schedule statement. We could keep it under Skills and not duplicate under Schedule, but schedule section would then have only the two other statements. That's okay. We need to ensure we don't create a section with only filler. Schedule section will have at least two substantive statements. Now we need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Skills and Physical Requirements), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

      for each. We need to use
      • for lists. We need to use

        for prose paragraphs. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's craft. Section About the role:
