We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Content:
- Position Summary: "Stocks and straightens merchandise for sale in the warehouse. Clears and cleans aisles. Provides a high level of member service."
- Job Duties: a long list of duties.
- Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees."
- Pay: "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." That's not specific pay info; it's a link. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits we have specific list, so include Benefits. Pay: only says "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." That's not actual pay range; it's a placeholder. Should we include Pay? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Since it doesn't state actual pay, we should not include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. So no Schedule.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting includes some requirements: "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Also maybe "Spots for Forklift Drivers to keep people out of the fall-danger zone." That's more duty.
We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (job duties), Requirements (maybe combine ability to operate equipment, open availability, proof of authorization). Could also have Qualifications (maybe none specific). Skills: maybe ability to operate forklift, pallet jack, etc. But we should not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections.
We have substantive content for About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (job duties). Benefits (list). Possibly Requirements (ability to operate equipment, open availability, proof of authorization). Could combine Requirements and Skills? But we need headings only if we have content.
Let's extract duties list into

Let's extract duties list into - items.
Duties list from "Job Duties" paragraph: It's a long sentence with many items separated by periods? Let's split by sentences.
"Spots for Forklift Drivers to keep people out of the fall-danger zone.
Follows all safety and security procedures, such as lifting properly, correct compactor operation.
Follows merchandising standards and practices: aligns product, collects and returns stray items, stocks to maintain high product levels.
Communicates with supervisors and managers to determine merchandising plans and priorities.
Writes list of products to be brought from steel, by forklift driver, for stocking.
Uses box knives to cut boxes for display/accessibility of product and to cut twine or shrink-wrap from pallets.
Wraps or ties and tags pallets to be returned to steel.
Stocks opened cases on shelves.
Moves and positions pallets of merchandise using manual pallet jack.

We need to preserve all substantive info. Also note "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." could be a requirement.
Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." That's a requirement.
"If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." That's also requirement.
Now Benefits list: "paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees."
We'll make
- each benefit.
Now About the role: position summary sentences.

About the role
Stocks and straightens merchandise for sale in the warehouse. Clears and cleans aisles. Provides a high level of member service.
Responsibilities
- Spots for Forklift Drivers to keep people out of the fall-danger zone.
- Follows all safety and security procedures, such as lifting properly, correct compactor operation.
- Follows merchandising standards and practices: aligns product, collects and returns stray items, stocks to maintain high product levels.
- Communicates with supervisors and managers to determine merchandising plans and priorities.
- Writes list of products to be brought from steel, by forklift driver, for stocking.
- Uses box knives to cut boxes for display/accessibility of product and to cut twine or shrink-wrap from pallets.
- Wraps or ties and tags pallets to be returned to steel.
- Stocks opened cases on shelves.
- Moves and positions pallets of merchandise using manual pallet jack.
- Stacks product from partial pallets onto full pallets.
- Sets up display models, assembling as necessary.
- Modifies displays for safe handling by members, e.g., bolting heavy equipment, taping blade edges.
- Pulls loose cardboard and slip-sheets from floor.
- Clears the sales floor of debris and sweeps.
- Removes empty pallets from the sales floor.
- Operates cardboard baler and trash compactor.
- Helps members to load large items into their cart, directs members to products, relates product status knowledge.
- Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials.
- Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery.
- Assists with department duties as necessary.
- Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary.
Now Requirements: we have open availability, proof of authorization, ability to operate vehicles/equipment/machinery (though that is also in duties). Might duplicate but okay.
We could make a Requirements section:
Requirements
- Open availability (apart from any religious or disability considerations) to meet business needs.
- Ability to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States if hired.
- Ability to operate vehicles, equipment, or machinery.
But note "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." already appears in duties; but we can still include as requirement.
Alternatively we could combine into Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. This is substantive enough.
Now Benefits section:
Benefits
- Paid time off
- Health benefits – medical, dental, vision, hearing aid, pharmacy, behavioral health, employee assistance
- Health care reimbursement account
- Dependent care assistance plan
- Short-term disability insurance
- Long-term disability insurance
- AD&D insurance
- Life insurance
- 401(k)
- Stock purchase plan (eligible employees)
We need to ensure we preserve the exact phrasing? The rule: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the benefit list as given, but we can split into items. The original: "paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees."
We need to keep the details: "paid time off", "health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance", "health care reimbursement account", "dependent care assistance plan", "short-term disability and long-term disability insurance", "AD&D insurance", "life insurance", "401(k)", "stock purchase plan to eligible employees". We can split "short-term disability and long-term disability insurance" into two items or keep as one. Probably better to keep as one item to preserve the conjunction. But we can split; but that might change meaning slightly. Safer to keep as one item: "short-term disability and long-term disability insurance". Similarly "health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance" keep as one.
Thus Benefits items:
- Paid time off
- Health benefits – medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance
- Health care reimbursement account
- Dependent care assistance plan
- Short-term disability and long-term disability insurance
- AD&D insurance
- Life insurance
- 401(k)
- Stock purchase plan to eligible employees
Now we need to ensure we didn't include Pay or Schedule sections.
Also we need to remove boilerplate: "Job Description California applicants: Please click here to review the Costco Applicant Privacy Notice. The jobs listed are examples of the typical kinds of positions that Costco may hire for when openings exist. The listing does not mean that any positions are currently open or available at Costco." Also "Job Description Posting Updated: July 2026 Job Code: 0009" etc. Also "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." That's not specific pay, we omitted Pay section but we might need to keep that sentence? It's not a heading; it's just a sentence. The rule: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The sentence "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." is like a link to pay ranges; it's not boilerplate but it's a reference. It's not substantive info about pay; it's just a directive. Should we keep it? It's not a heading, it's just a sentence. The rule says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. This sentence is not substantive info about pay; it's a pointer. It could be considered boilerplate? Not exactly. But it's not a duty or requirement. It's more like a navigation link. I'd say we can omit it as it's not substantive content about the job. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This is akin to a navigation instruction (click here for pay ranges). So we can remove it.
Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." We kept that.
"If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." We kept
- each benefit.
