About the role

? Already used About the role for Position Overview. Could rename that section to About the company? But we already used About the role. For WHO ARE we could use About the role? Actually we already used About the role for position overview. For company description we could use About the company but not in list. Maybe we can use About the role for overview and then another heading like About the company? Not in examples but maybe okay. However instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not limited to. So we can add other headings like About the company. But to be safe, we could use About the role for overview and then maybe a separate section About the company using same heading? Duplicate headings maybe okay but could be confusing. Better to use About the role for overview and then About the company as a separate heading; it's still an h3. Let's do:
