So we should not include Schedule section. - Skills: Could be derived from qualifications: Salesforce proficiency, customer service, communication, etc. Could be a Skills section. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay. But we must not create sections with filler. Must include only if real specific content. We have content for: - About the role: The paragraph describing role: "Airgas is looking for a dedicated, relationship-focused Sales Specialist (Specialty Gas) who will steward and nurture sustainable growth and value of specialty gas products within an assigned region." That's specific. - Responsibilities: The bullet points under Drive Strategic Growth, Nurture Customer Relationships, Co-Create Technical Solutions, Commercial Collaboration, Industry Engagement, Integrity & Excellence. Those are responsibilities. - Requirements: Required Qualifications (High School Diploma, 2-3 years outside sales, Salesforce proficiency, etc.) That's specific. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (Bachelor's degree, background in gas, welding, safety supplies, SAP, etc.) That's specific. - Skills: Could be derived from both required and preferred: proficiency in Salesforce, SAP, PROS, MS Office, communication, customer service, etc. Might be redundant but we can include a Skills section summarizing those. However we must avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we create a Skills section that repeats info from Requirements/Qualifications, that's okay as long as we don't lose detail. But we might be duplicating. Could also omit Skills section and put those details under Requirements/Qualifications. But we have both Required and Preferred; we could combine them into Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. Skills optional. We have Benefits: detailed list. Pay: Target Base Salary Range plus commission, monthly auto allowance. Schedule: none -> omit. Location: maybe include as a short p at top? Not a heading. Could be a paragraph: "

Location: Phoenix, AZ - University - Retail shop

" That's allowed as minor metadata. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, diversity statements, etc. Remove all those paragraphs about diversity, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "About Airgas" maybe? That's company description; is that considered boilerplate? It's substantive about company but not required? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "About Airgas" is not EEO but is company overview; could be considered not required but maybe we keep? It's not a section heading; but we could include as part of About the role? Might be considered extra but not prohibited. However we should preserve ALL substantive information; the About Airgas paragraph is substantive about the company. But the instruction says we should not repeat job title as heading, but we can include other info. It didn't say to remove company description. So we could keep it maybe under a section "About Airgas"? But not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add extra headings beyond those. So we could incorporate company description into About the role paragraph or maybe a separate p after About the role. But we must not invent headings. So we can add a p after About the role that describes Airgas. That's okay. Similarly, we must not include the diversity statements etc. So we will strip those. Now craft HTML. Structure:
