We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, "Who Are We?" is company description. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who Are We?" is about company, not role. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to decide which sections to include.
We have content: Job Summary (description of MIT program). That could be "About the role". Then "What You Will Do" is responsibilities. Then "What We Are Looking For" includes requirements/qualifications/skills. Then "Benefits Package" etc. Then compensation info: annual compensation for this position in certain states is $28.85/hour based on full-time schedule. Also mention relocation assistance, travel 25%, etc. That could be Pay and maybe Schedule? Schedule not explicitly given, but maybe full-time schedule implied. However we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states it. It mentions "based on a full-time schedule". That is schedule info: full-time. So we could include Schedule section with "Full-time". But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". It's specified as full-time, so okay.
Benefits: we have Benefits Package list: 401k with company match, health benefits, wellness program, education reimbursement, paid travel, employee stock, paid time off, many more. Also later more details: medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and long-term disability insurance, prescription drug coverage, flexible spending and health savings accounts, 401(k) with company match, employee stock purchase plan, employee assistance and education reimbursement programs. So we can include Benefits.
Pay: we have hourly rate $28.85/hour for certain states, plus relocation or cost of living adjustments. Also mention compensation may be eligible for relocation or cost of living adjustments. So we can include Pay.
Schedule: we have "based on a full-time schedule". So we can include Schedule: Full-time.
Now we need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, legal, drug testing, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Learn More About The Position By Visiting Www.poolcorp.com/mit." maybe considered application instructions? It's a link to learn more, maybe considered application instructions? It's not exactly applying but could be considered extra info. The instruction: remove application instructions. That line is more like "Learn More About The Position By Visiting...". Might be considered application instructions? Safer to drop it.
Also remove "At POOLCORP, we are committed to our employees’ success..." that's benefits description but we already captured benefits; we can keep benefits details but maybe it's redundant. We'll keep benefits details but avoid fluff.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., "6-months of guidance, support and resources", "Upon completion of the program, program graduates are eligible to apply for Operations Supervisor or Operations Manager roles that are available nationwide." etc.
We need to format using
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

We need to format using headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes under which heading.
Let's outline:
- About the role: maybe combine "Who Are We?" and "Job Summary". But "Who Are We?" is company overview, not role. However we could treat as About the role (company context). The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role containing company description and job summary.
- Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" list.
- Requirements: maybe "What We Are Looking For" includes degree, GPA, work experience, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping; but we can split: Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (skills/attributes). Or we could combine. The instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both.
We need to avoid duplicate content. Let's extract:
From "What We Are Looking For":
- Bachelor's degree or Associate’s degree in Industrial Distribution, Supply Chain Management, Management, Operations or other related discipline with a minimum of 2.5 GPA.
- Work experience in a leadership and/or problem solving role. In lieu of work experience, will consider involvement in distribution or supply chain internships, organizations/clubs, volunteer work/community service, athletics or military leadership.
- Desire and ability to work in a distribution warehouse environment.
- Results driven, self-starter with the ability to lead and develop a team with rapidly changing priorities. Strong leadership skills are a must!
- Possess and demonstrate a motivated, passionate, customer service driven attitude.
- Willingness and ability to relocate during and after the program (at company expense) for career development opportunities.
- Ability to travel 25% of the time.
- Ability to maneuver heavy machinery, such as pallet jacks, forklifts, etc. and lift products up to 75 pounds.
- Preferred Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.
- Knowledge of Microsoft Office suite with ability to learn inventory system and additional software.
- In lieu of work experience, will consider involvement in distribution or supply chain internships, organizations/clubs, volunteer work/community service, athletics or military leadership. (duplicate sentence)
We can deduplicate.
Now "Benefits Package" list: 401k with company match, health benefits, wellness program, education reimbursement, paid travel, employee stock, paid time off, and many more!
Later: medical, dental and vision care, company-paid life and long-term disability insurance, prescription drug coverage, flexible spending and health savings accounts, 401(k) with company match, employee stock purchase plan, and employee assistance and education reimbursement programs.
We can combine into a benefits list.
Pay: "The annual compensation for this position in NV, NY, WA, CA, CO, CT, NJ, RI, and HI is $28.85/hour based on a full-time schedule. Additionally, this position may be eligible for relocation or cost of living adjustments."
Schedule: "based on a full-time schedule" already mentioned; we can state Schedule: Full-time.
Now we need to avoid repeating info. We'll put Pay section with hourly rate and relocation/COLA. Schedule section with Full-time.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, drug testing, safety-sensitive, etc. Remove those paragraphs.
Also remove "Please note that benefits are subject to change." maybe considered boilerplate but it's a note about benefits; could be considered substantive? It's a disclaimer; maybe remove as it's not specific benefit. Safer to remove.
Also remove "For more information about compensation and benefits, visit https://www.poolcorp.com/careers/compensation-benefits/" - that's a link, maybe considered application instructions? Remove.
Also remove "All offers to external candidates for employment are contingent upon the successful completion of pre-employment drug testing and background verifications before employment is finalized." Remove.
Also remove "This position is considered “safety-sensitive”..." Remove duplicates.
Also remove "POOLCORP is a drug-free company." Remove.
Also remove "POOLCORP is an Equal Opportunity Employer – By Choice..." Remove.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
