We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Benefits, Pay (if present), Schedule (if present). The posting includes: Position Overview is a paragraph. Then "Why CarMax?" maybe part of About the role? Could be separate but we can include as part of About the role. 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. Thus we need to extract sections: - About the role: includes Position Overview paragraph and maybe Why CarMax? Could be combined. - Responsibilities: list of bullet points. - Requirements/Qualifications: list of bullet points. - Benefits: details about sick time, vacation, holiday, etc. - Pay: The Hourly Rate For This Position Is $16.80 - $26.80 Commissions This position is eligible for commission. - Schedule: Not explicitly stated; there is "Flexibility to work varied shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays" under Required Qualifications. That's not a schedule section per se; but we could treat schedule as not present because no explicit schedule details like "full-time", "part-time", "shifts". However the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have mention of flexibility to work varied shifts, but not a schedule description like "Full-time, 40 hours per week". Might be considered schedule info? The posting does not give explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". It says flexibility to work varied shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays. That is schedule-related but not a specific schedule. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state flexibility to work varied shifts, which is schedule info. Could we include a Schedule section with that bullet? Possibly. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be okay to include Schedule as a short paragraph. But we need to check if they want Schedule section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The phrase "Flexibility to work varied shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays" is specific enough? It's not a schedule like "Monday-Friday 9am-5pm". It's still schedule-related. I'd lean to include a Schedule section with that sentence as a paragraph. But we also have Benefits section: they gave details about sick time, vacation, holiday. That's substantive. Pay: they gave hourly rate range and commission eligibility. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

    for each heading. Inside each section, we need to use

    for prose, and

    • for any list. Thus:

In this dynamic role, you’ll guide customers through the service and repair process—before, during, and after—delivering clear communication and personalized support.

Whether you’re advancing your career or growing your skillset, we are here to drive you forward.

      But note we need to preserve all substantive information; we should not lose any. The "Why CarMax?" paragraph is separate but we can combine. Now Responsibilities: list bullet points. We need to extract each responsibility line: - Welcome and engage customers with professionalism and empathy, ensuring a positive service experience from start to finish - Accurately document customer concerns and create detailed repair orders for technicians and provide timely updates on vehicle status, meeting all communication commitments - Consult with customers on recommended repairs and explain service details clearly - Review completed work for accuracy and prepare invoices for billing - Process service payments and manage cash transactions responsibly - Coordinate workflow efficiently to maintain productivity in a fast-paced environment - Follow CarMax Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) requirements and maintain a clean and orderly work area Make
      • for each. Now Requirements/Qualifications: list bullet points: - Strong interpersonal and communication skills with proven ability to deliver outstanding customer service - Proficiency in telephone etiquette and active listening techniques - Ability to interpret and record data accurately while using intermediate computer skills - Comfort working collaboratively across departments in a high-energy environment - Flexibility to work varied shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays - Commitment to standards and adherence to CarMax policies and procedures - Capability to stand or walk for extended periods and work in both indoor and outdoor conditions We could separate "Flexibility to work varied shifts..." into Schedule section, but it's also a qualification. However we might want to avoid duplication. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put that bullet under Requirements, we still preserve it. If we also put it under Schedule, that would duplicate. Better to keep it under Requirements (or Qualifications) and not create a separate Schedule section unless we have other schedule specifics. Since we have only that line about flexibility, we could still create a Schedule section with that line, but then we would duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could move that line to Schedule section and remove from Requirements. But then we lose it from Requirements unless we keep it there too. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is not prohibited but might be redundant. Better to keep it only once. Where does it belong? It's a qualification about flexibility to work varied shifts. Could be considered a qualification. The Schedule section would be about schedule details like full-time/part-time, shift times. Since we don't have explicit schedule, maybe we should not create a Schedule section. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state "Flexibility to work varied shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays." That is schedule-related but not a schedule statement like "Full-time, 40 hours per week". However it's still stating schedule expectations. I'd argue it's enough to create a Schedule section with that sentence. But then we would need to remove it from Requirements to avoid duplication. However the Requirements section would lose that bullet; but we could keep it there as well; duplication is not ideal but maybe acceptable. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication preserves it, but it's redundant. I'd prefer to keep it only once, under Requirements, and not create a Schedule section because we don't have explicit schedule details like hours. The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state flexibility to work varied shifts, which is schedule-related. But is that enough to constitute a Schedule section? The examples of headings include Schedule. If we create a Schedule section, we need to put something under it. If we put that sentence, it's specific. I'd lean to include Schedule section with that sentence as a paragraph. Then we can keep Requirements without that bullet (or we could keep it but it's duplicate). I'd rather not duplicate. So we will move that bullet to Schedule section and remove from Requirements. Thus Requirements bullet list will exclude the flexibility line. Now Benefits: we need to extract details. The posting says: "Benefits Except as otherwise required by state law, CarMax Associates are entitled to the following paid sick, vacation, and holiday time. Associates that are considered full-time hourly or commissioned are eligible: To earn up to 48 hours of sick time per year accrued on a per pay period basis and between 80 hours and 200 hours per year of vacation time after a 90 day waiting period depending on years of continuous service with the Company. For 8 hours of pay for each of a total of 6 paid scheduled holidays per year plus 1 floating holiday. If such an Associate does work on a scheduled holiday due to business need, they are eligible for Holiday Premium Pay. Associates considered full-time salaried are entitled to paid time away with no specified limit as needed for sick, vacation, bereavement, jury duty, holidays, floating holiday, etc. subject to manager approval. For more details about benefits, please visit our CarMax Benefits website. Upon an applicant's request, CarMax will consider reasonable accommodation to complete the CarMax Job Application." We need to preserve all substantive information. We'll put that as a

        (maybe multiple paragraphs). Could break into sentences but it's okay as one paragraph. Now Pay: "The Hourly Rate For This Position Is $16.80 - $26.80 Commissions This position is eligible for commission." We'll put as a

        . Now About the role: we have two paragraphs. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed that. Now output HTML fragment. Let's craft:
