First, I need to identify the sections:
1. Position Summary / What you'll do - this is the main responsibilities section
2. Minimum Qualifications
3. Preferred Qualifications
4. Primary Location (metadata, should be folded into a short for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But only include sections with real content.
Let me map:

Drug-free workplace policy - boilerplate, remove 10. EEO/scam warning boilerplate - remove The job title is not given explicitly but appears to be an Optical Department Manager or similar.
