We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content.
Job description includes General Summary, Duties And Essential Job Functions, Job Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education, Competencies), Working Conditions and PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS, Note about travel, Dollar General equal opportunity, New hire starting wage: $15.52 $20.95 (that's a range). Also About Us etc but we remove boilerplate.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from General Summary). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (maybe Work Experience/Education). Qualifications (Knowledge and Skills). Skills (maybe Competencies). Benefits (none explicit). Pay (starting wage range). Schedule (none explicit). We should only include sections with real content.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to use
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate.
We need to include the wage range: "New hire starting wage:$15.52 $20.95". Probably format as "$15.52 - $20.95 per hour". But we must not invent; we can keep as given: "$15.52 $20.95". Might be ambiguous but we keep exactly.
We need to include travel note: "Note: This position requires some travel with limited overnight stays". That could go under Working Conditions maybe but we don't have a Working Conditions section unless we create one. The instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content. We could add a "Working Conditions" section if we want, but not in the list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Working Conditions is not in that list, but we could still include if we think it's needed? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. But they say "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could add a Working Conditions section if we have content. However they gave examples; maybe they expect only those sections. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we will put travel note maybe under Responsibilities or Requirements? It's more about working conditions. Could add a short paragraph under Responsibilities? Might be okay.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's extract content:

Working Conditions and PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: we could include as a section maybe "Working Conditions". But not in allowed list. Could incorporate into Responsibilities? Might be okay to add a section "Working Conditions". However instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but suggests those as examples. Safer to include only those.
Thus we may omit Working Conditions details, but we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit, we lose info. So we need to include it somewhere. Could add a section "Working Conditions" as an h3 even if not in examples; but they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies those are the expected headings; but they didn't say you cannot use others. However they said "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can add a Working Conditions section.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Working Conditions, Pay.
We need to avoid Benefits and Schedule as no content.
Now we need to format.
