Store Manager in Training (SMIT)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: - About Goodwill (mission statement) - About the Position (description) - Pay: $68,000-70,000K/DOE (non-exempt) - Essential Functions and Responsibilities (list) - Supervisory Responsibilities (list) - Position Requirements (Qualifications) (list) - Certificates, Licenses, or Registrations (list) - Computer/Technology Skills (list) - Physical Abilities (list) - Essential Mental/Sensory Abilities (list) - Work Environment (description) - Also some metadata: Department, Reports to, Supervises, Revised Date, FLSA Status, Location (Seattle Dearborn location). These are minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. Probably include a short paragraph with that info. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can start with a
containing metadata: Department: Operations in Seattle (Dearborn Location); FLSA Status: Non-Exempt; Reports to: Sr. Store Manager; Supervises: Assistant Managers, Supervisors; Revised Date: 3/4/21. Then sections: About Goodwill (maybe heading "About Goodwill"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples, but we can use other headings if appropriate? Probably we should stick to those examples where applicable. However "About Goodwill" is not in list but could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It may imply we should use those headings for sections we have. But we have "About Goodwill" and "About the Position". Could combine into "About the role"? The role description is in "About the Position". So we could use About the role
for that section. For Goodwill mission, maybe we could incorporate into a
About the role
for that section. For Goodwill mission, maybe we could incorporate into awithout heading, or use
About Goodwill
but that's not in examples. Safer to follow examples: Use headings for sections we have: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we have many sub-sections: Essential Functions and Responsibilities, Supervisory Responsibilities, Position Requirements (Qualifications), Certificates/Licenses, Computer/Technology Skills, Physical Abilities, Essential Mental/Sensory Abilities, Work Environment. We could group some. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Supervisory) into one Responsibilities section. Combine Requirements (Position Requirements) into Requirements/Qualifications. Skills could include Computer/Technology Skills, Mental/Sensory Abilities, maybe Physical Abilities? But Physical Abilities maybe not skills. Could have a separate section for Physical Abilities? Not in examples but could be considered "Skills"? Might be okay to create a section "Physical Requirements" but not in list. 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 using those. To be safe, we can map our content to those headings:
- About the role: combine About Goodwill and About the Position? Or maybe we can have two paragraphs under About the role: first about Goodwill mission, second about position description.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions and Responsibilities + Supervisory Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Position Requirements (Qualifications for the job under ADA) plus Certificates, Licenses, or Registrations? Could be part of Requirements.
- Skills: Computer/Technology Skills + Essential Mental/Sensory Abilities (leadership, communication, etc.) maybe also Physical Abilities? But Physical Abilities could be separate but we could include under Skills? Might be okay.
- Pay: we have Pay info.
- Schedule: not provided, so we should NOT create Schedule section.
- Benefits: not provided, so no Benefits section.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from each section.

Skills: Computer/Technology Skills, Essential Mental/Sensory Abilities, maybe Physical Abilities? But Physical Abilities maybe not skill. However we could include Physical Abilities under Skills? Might be odd. Could create a separate section "Physical Abilities" but not in examples. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Physical Abilities into Skills? Or we could include Physical Abilities under Requirements? Not really. Perhaps we can treat Physical Abilities as part of Requirements (since they are requirements). But they are more about physical ability to perform job. Could be under Requirements.
Better: Requirements section includes education, experience, certificates/licenses, physical abilities. Skills section includes computer/technology skills, mental/sensory abilities.
