Vans: Seasonal Sales Associate - Omaha Westroads Mall
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
Thus we need to parse the posting and decide which sections to include.
The posting includes:
- Intro about Vans (mission, values). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic heading for role description. But we have a description of the role: "Seasonal Sales Associate What will you do? A day in the life...". That could be "Responsibilities". Also there is "What do you need to succeed?" which is requirements/qualifications/skills.
- There's a hiring range: $16.00 - $19.80 USD per hour. That's Pay.
- Benefits: mention "Benefits at VF Corporation: This position is a part-time or limited time position (ie., internship) and is not eligible for all of the benefit plans offered at VF Corporation. There are some benefits the company offers that this position can participate in. You can review a general overview of the benefits provided at VF by visiting www.MyVFbenefits.com and by clicking Looking to Join VF? Detailed information on the benefits options you qualify for will be provided upon hire."
Thus there is some benefit info, albeit generic. It says there are some benefits the company offers that this position can participate in. That is substantive enough? It mentions you can review overview at website. It's not a list of specific benefits. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits exist, albeit vague. Should we include a Benefits section? It says "Benefits at VF Corporation:" then description. That's specific enough to include a Benefits section. However we must not include filler placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's actual statement about benefits eligibility. So we can include a Benefits section with a
describing that.
Pay: we have hiring range, so include Pay section.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. It says part-time or limited time position (ie., internship). That implies schedule but not explicit hours. The instruction: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule specifics like full-time, part-time hours, shift times. It says part-time or limited time position. That is somewhat schedule info. But is that enough? The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state it's part-time or limited time. That is schedule info. Could include Schedule section with that statement. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine schedule into About the role or Responsibilities? But schedule is separate category. Might be better to include Schedule section with that statement.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting includes: "This position is a part-time or limited time position (ie., internship) and is not eligible for all of the benefit plans offered at VF Corporation." That's both schedule and benefits info. Could put schedule in a short p under Schedule heading, and benefits under Benefits heading.
Now about the role: The intro about Vans mission etc. Could be considered "About the role" or maybe we could omit that as it's company description not role-specific. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid having an About the role section that includes company mission. Usually About the role includes role description. But we have a separate Responsibilities section. Could we combine the Vans mission into a brief paragraph under About the role? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does have content about Vans mission and culture. That's specific. So we could have an About the role section with that content.
Alternatively we could omit About the role and just have Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The Vans mission/intro is substantive; if we omit it, we lose info. So we need to include it somewhere. Could put it under About the role.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications/Skills), Pay, Benefits, Schedule.
Now we need to extract content for each.
About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Seasonal Sales Associate". Let's capture:
"Vans is the original brand rooted in the authentic lifestyle of skateboarding. We are driven by our mission to inspire and empower everyone to live “Off The Wall” – embracing the youthful spirit of freedom, non-conformity, and relentless progression. Yesterday’s “Off The Wall” moment is today’s new normal, and at Vans, we believe in constantly outdoing ourselves. Together with our communities across the globe, our vision is to push culture forward because we believe that the pursuit of progression never ends. We are constantly inspired by the future generation of positive catalysts within our community. So, before we get to the job details, take a minute to learn a little more about us – our values and our culture. If you can see yourself working side-by-side with a team of people who think and live “Off the Wall,” Vans just may be the place for you. To learn more about our values and our culture, visit Vans Careers or www.vans.com."
That's the About the role content.
Responsibilities: Under "What will you do? A day in the life of a Seasonal Sales Associate at Vans looks a little like this." Then bullet list of duties. Let's extract the prose and list.
Paragraph: "As a Seasonal Sales Associate, you are the face of the brand—bringing energy, authenticity, and a customer-first mindset to every interaction. You will create memorable shopping experiences by engaging with customers, sharing product knowledge, and delivering exceptional service. As part of a collaborative team, you’ll contribute to the store’s success through sales, visual merchandising, and operational excellence. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced retail environment, enjoys connecting with people, and is passionate about delivering best-in-class customer experience."
Then "Let’s break down that day-in-the-life a bit more." Then list items:
- Deliver a high level of personalized customer engagement through genuine interactions.
- Build sales by maintaining a consumer-centric mindset and modeling selling behaviors.
- Share relevant product, brand, and community knowledge to enhance the customer experience.
- Achieve individual and team sales goals by utilizing available resources and tools.
- Assist in visual merchandising, product replenishment, and maintaining brand presentation standards.
- Perform cashier duties and support loss prevention initiatives as needed.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and customer-ready store environment.
- Adhere to all company policies, procedures, and safety standards.
- Model inclusive behavior that respects diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- *This position will support the store during peak season with potential to transition to regular employment*
That last item is a note about potential transition; it's still a responsibility? It's more about position nature. Could keep as a list item.
Thus responsibilities section: a
with the introductory paragraph(s) then a
- for each duty.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Under "What do you need to succeed?" Then paragraph: "We all bring unique skills to work each day. For this role, there are foundational skills needed to succeed, along with 0–1 year of relevant experience. A High School Diploma or equivalent is preferred; but we value hands-on experience and demonstrated achievements most."
Then list: "The foundation skills you will need in this position are:" then bullet list:
- Ability to genuinely and comfortably engage with a diverse group of customers.
- Strong communication skills—both verbal and written.
- Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team and adapt to changing business needs.
- Customer service experience preferred; retail experience is a plus.
- Willingness to learn and share product and brand knowledge.
- Attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
- Proficient computer skills including basic retail systems and applications.
- Ability to stand and move throughout the store for extended periods and perform physical tasks such as bending, reaching, squatting, climbing ladders, and lifting light to moderate weight, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Thus we can put Requirements section with a
intro then
- list.
Pay: hiring range: $16.00 - $19.80 USD per hour. Also note: "Please note, our hiring ranges are determined and built from market pay data. Although all positions have a hiring range based upon market data, this position has a minimum starting rate that is listed above. In determining the specific compensation for this position, we comply with all local, state, and federal laws." That's substantive. So Pay section:
with that info.
Benefits: "Benefits at VF Corporation: This position is a part-time or limited time position (ie., internship) and is not eligible for all of the benefit plans offered at VF Corporation. There are some benefits the company offers that this position can participate in. You can review a general overview of the benefits provided at VF by visiting www.MyVFbenefits.com and by clicking Looking to Join VF? Detailed information on the benefits options you qualify for will be provided upon hire."
We could also note that the position is part-time/limited time, but that's schedule. We'll keep benefits as described.
Schedule: The posting says part-time or limited time position (ie., internship). That's schedule. Could also note that it's seasonal. So schedule section:
stating it's a part-time/limited time (seasonal) position.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation request, Fair Chance Ordinance, etc. Those are legal boilerplate; remove them. Also remove "If you require accommodations during the application process, please contact us at peopleservices@vfc.com." etc. Also remove "Pursuant to all applicable local Fair Chance Ordinance requirements..." etc. Also remove "At VF, we value a diverse, inclusive workforce..." etc. All that is boilerplate.
Also remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
