Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must include only sections with real specific content. We have Position Summary (could be About the role). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Qualifications (Qualifications).
