We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.

Take a walk, grab a bite (or a cup of coffee), work out or get a check-up – we invest in you so you can find your inspiration."
That's about location and environment. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Location". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put location under About the role.

- "Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree Business, Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field or equivalent years of experience in lieu of education requirement, if applicable4 Years Relevant business experienceExperience in structuring and writing formal documents, developing and delivering group presentations, project planning, and/or cross-functional collaboration"

- "About Lowe’s Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) is a FORTUNE® 100 home improvement company with total fiscal year 2025 sales of more than $86 billion. Lowe’s employs approximately 300,000 associates and operates over 1,750 home improvement stores, 540 branches and 120 distribution centers. Lowe’s is a core value S&P 500 equity stock and a dividend aristocrat. Based in Mooresville, N.C., Lowe’s supports the communities it serves through programs focused on creating safe, affordable housing, improving community spaces, helping to develop the next generation of skilled trade experts and providing disaster relief to communities in need. For more information, visit Lowes.com."
That's company description; could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we only have allowed headings; we could include under About the role.
- "Lowe’s is an equal opportunity employer ..." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
- "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience. For information regarding our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits."
That's pay and benefits mention but vague: "Starting rate of pay may vary..." Not specific numbers; we should not create Pay or Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says may vary; not specific. So we should not include Pay or Benefits sections because they are not specific. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states that pay may vary, but not a specific rate. Likely we should not include Pay or Benefits. Also no schedule info.
Thus sections: About the role (includes location, impact, company description), Responsibilities (the "What You Will Do" list), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? The allowed headings include Requirements and Qualifications separately. We need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred? But we have Preferred Skills/Education separate. Could map: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Skills/Education? But we also have Skills heading. The allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Minimum Qualifications (education, experience). We have Preferred Skills/Education (Microsoft products). We also have maybe "Skills" heading for skills like interpersonal, communication etc. But those are in Responsibilities. However we could put skills under Skills heading: e.g., strong interpersonal skills, communication, etc. But those are already in Responsibilities. Might be redundant.
Better to follow typical pattern: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe technical skills). But we have limited.
Let's assign:
- About the role: location, impact, company description.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (What You Will Do).
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education, years experience, experience in structuring documents, etc.)
- Qualifications: Preferred Skills/Education (Microsoft products, relational business software)
- Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like "strong interpersonal skills, communication, project management, data analysis, etc." But those are already in Responsibilities. However we could still extract them into Skills section to avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we move content from Responsibilities to Skills, we would be removing from Responsibilities, which would lose detail. Better to keep Responsibilities as is, and not create Skills if no specific skill list beyond those already covered. But we could still create Skills heading with the same content? That would duplicate. Not ideal.
We could decide not to include Skills section if no distinct skill list beyond what's already in Responsibilities. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit Skills if not needed.
Thus we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
Check if any content for Benefits/Pay/Schedule: none specific, so omit.
Now we need to format with
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

Now we need to format with headings and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract prose for About the role: combine location paragraph, impact paragraph, company description.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.
Let's craft About the role prose:

That seems fine.
Now Responsibilities: we need to turn the "What You Will Do" list into
- . The content is a long sentence with hyphens separating topics. We need to split into list items. Let's parse:

We need to split each bullet by the hyphen before a capitalized word?
