We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (summary description), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (special requirements, qualifications), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Pay (wage range), Benefits (link), Schedule (part-time, working months 10, shift day). Also maybe Physical Demands could be part of Requirements or separate? But we only have headings list; we can include Physical Demands under Requirements or maybe as its own section? Not in list; but we could incorporate into Requirements or Responsibilities. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings. We can combine multiple pieces under each.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content.

Responsibilities
: list of duties: management and operation of cafeteria, central kitchen sometimes; on-the-job training, scheduling, supervision, evaluation; adherence to nutritional, sanitary, safety standards; economic use of foodstuffs; work simplification; may be involved in food preparation or supervision; etc.

Since we have Requirements and Skills sections, we can put qualifications under Requirements.
