We need to avoid duplicate lines. Ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Apply Now", "Mail Send proof..." etc. Those are application instructions; we should remove them. Also remove "Opening Date", "Closing Date", "Job Number", "Location", "Job Type", "FLSA", etc. Those are minor metadata; we can drop them or fold into short p? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We can drop them entirely. So we will not include location, job type, etc.
