We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the job description.
Given text: It's a job description for a position (maybe "Stocker" or "Warehouse Associate").
We need to extract sections:
- About the role: Could be Position Summary: "Stocks and straightens merchandise for sale in the warehouse. Clears and cleans aisles. Provides a high level of member service."
- Responsibilities: The list of duties: many bullet points.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Not explicitly listed, but there are statements like "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Also "Assists with department duties as necessary." "Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary." Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." Also "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Also maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Could be considered a requirement.
- 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: Not given explicitly; only "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." That's not actual pay info, so we should NOT create Pay section because no actual pay stated.
- Schedule: Not given explicitly; only "open availability is needed". That's not a schedule detail; we should not create Schedule section unless actual schedule stated. So omit.
- Also need to include minor metadata like Job Code etc folded into short p or drop. We can include a short p for Job Code and Posting Updated maybe.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not given title explicitly; but we can ignore.
We must not include boilerplate like California applicants privacy notice, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes "California applicants: Please click here to review the Costco Applicant Privacy Notice." That's boilerplate; remove. Also "The jobs listed are examples..." etc remove. Also "Job Description Posting Updated: July 2026 Job Code: 0009" we can fold into short p.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all duties, responsibilities, benefits, etc.
Let's extract duties list:
From "Job Duties" line then list:
- 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 handing 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.
Also "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." Not substantive; we can ignore.
Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." Could be a requirement.
Also "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." Requirement.
Now benefits: list as above.
Now we need to decide sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (the duties). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: we have ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery; proof of authorization; open availability; maybe also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery" is a skill. Could combine into Requirements section.
We could also have Skills section separate but we can combine.
We need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine Requirements and Skills into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We can choose to have Requirements and Skills separate if we have distinct content. But we have limited content; better to have one Requirements section covering both.
Thus sections:

or drop it." So we can add a
at top: "Job Code: 0009 • Posting Updated: July 2026". That's fine. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft final HTML. Check for any repeated content: Ensure we didn't duplicate "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery" both in Responsibilities and Requirements. It appears in duties list as a bullet; we included it there. In Requirements we also included it; that's duplication but it's okay as it's substantive. However we might want to avoid duplication but not required. Could keep it only in Responsibilities and not repeat in Requirements. But the requirement list includes ability to operate vehicles etc; it's already in duties. Might be okay to keep only once. However the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not removing info, it's okay but could be considered redundant. I'd keep it only in Responsibilities to avoid redundancy. But then Requirements would lose that point. However the requirement is also a duty; it's still substantive. If we only list it under Responsibilities, we still preserved it. So we can drop from Requirements. Thus Requirements: open availability and proof of authorization. Let's adjust. Now final HTML:
