Then "Essential Job Functions Listed are the essential duties and responsibilities that are required of this position. This section includes the primary accountabilities or duties of the job. The incumbent must be able to perform all the following duties and responsibilities with or without reasonable accommodation:" then list bullet points.

Then "Work Environment" paragraph.
Then "Contacts" paragraph.
Then pay range: "Salary Range: $50.75 - $81.25 Hourly or Salary Range will be reflected above." Actually text: "The pay ranges outlined below are presented in accordance with state-specific regulations. These ranges may differ in other areas and could be subject to variation based on regulatory minimum wage requirements. Actual pay rates will depend on factors such as position, location, level of experience, and applicable state or local minimum wage laws. If the regulatory minimum wage exceeds the minimum indicated in the pay range below, the regulatory minimum wage will be the minimum rate applied.

We need to include Pay section with that info.
Benefits: "For a more detailed overview of Petco Total Rewards, including health and financial benefits, 401K, incentives, and PTO - see https://careers.petco.com/us/en/key-benefits"
We'll include Benefits section with that link.
We must not include EEO, translation instructions, etc.
We need to avoid duplication: there may be repeated sentences like "Petco is the place for you." Already included.
We'll structure:
About Petco
... (combine initial motivational paragraph and About Petco paragraph? Might be better to have one About Petco section covering both motivational and About Petco. But we need to preserve all info. Could combine into one
containing all that text.
Then
Responsibilities
- ... essential functions ...
... plus other duties? Could combine essential and other duties under Responsibilities.
Then Requirements
- ... education/experience list ...
Then Skills
- ... problem solving, communication, teamwork, compassion, etc. But some of those are already in requirements. Might be redundant. Better to have Requirements include education/licensure etc, and Skills include communication, problem solving, teamwork, compassion. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep them as separate lists but ensure we don't duplicate content. Could put problem-solving under Skills, communication under Skills, teamwork under Skills, compassion under Skills. But those also appear in requirements list. To avoid duplication, we could keep requirements as education/licensure only, and skills as the rest. However the requirement list includes communication, compassion, etc. If we move them to Skills, we are not duplicating; we are just re-categorizing. That's acceptable as we preserve all info.
Thus:
Requirements: education/licensure etc (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, active licensure, DEA license, Controlled Substance License, USDA Category I accreditation, comfort with anesthesia/surgeries).
Skills: excellent written and verbal communication skills, compassionate and sympathetic, maintain professional attitude, telephone and computer skills, team player willing to learn new techniques, offer creative ideas, accept change, excellent problem-solving skills (from Planning And Problem Solving), ability to develop problem list, differential diagnoses, diagnostic plan, treatments (these are more duties). Actually problem solving is part of duties. Might be better to keep problem solving under Responsibilities? But we already have duties list includes problem-based approach. So we can keep problem solving as part of Responsibilities.
Thus Skills list: communication, compassion, professional attitude, telephone/computer skills, team player, willingness to learn, creative ideas, accept change.
Benefits: link.
Pay: salary range.
We also need to include Work Environment and Contacts maybe as separate sections? Could be under Responsibilities? But they are substantive. Could create sections Work Environment and Contacts.
We have headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot add custom headings like Work Environment or Contacts unless we map them to allowed headings. The instruction: "use

It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings only? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely we should restrict to those headings. So we cannot create Work Environment or Contacts as headings. We could fold that content into existing sections like Responsibilities or Requirements. For Work Environment, we could put under
