But we should only include sections when posting has real, specific content. We need to map content to these headings. We have mission and why work with us (benefits). Could be "About the role" maybe includes mission and why work with us? Or we could have separate sections: "About the role" (mission, why work with us). "Responsibilities" (duties). "Requirements" (qualifications, skills, education/experience). "Benefits" (why work with us). "Pay" (pay range). "Schedule" (work schedule). Also maybe "Physical Requirements" could be part of Requirements. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, drug-free, etc. Remove those lines.

Physical Responsibilities: Staff must frequently stand and walk for most of an 8–10‑hour shift and regularly bend, kneel, reach, climb, and perform repetitive motions while cleaning, maintaining grounds, or performing facilities repairs. These roles require frequently lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling up to 50 lbs and occasionally heavier items with assistance, as well as safely navigating ladders, stairs, uneven surfaces, and wet or slippery areas. Adequate vision, hearing, hand dexterity, and clear communication are necessary to operate tools, equipment, vehicles, and radios safely. Work occurs both indoors and outdoors year‑round in all weather conditions, with routine exposure to dust, dirt, chemicals, cleaning agents, noise, and equipment vibration. Positions may involve using power tools, machinery, or motorized vehicles and require adherence to established safety procedures. PPE such as gloves, protective footwear, eye and hearing protection, or respirators may be required depending on the task. Schedules may include early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional overtime based on operational needs.

Work Schedule: Work schedule may include early or late start times and working weekends and holidays as required to meet the zoo’s operating needs. Full-time position, averaging 40 hours per week. Flexibility: Position may require flexibility in working hours to accommodate special events, emergencies, or animal care needs. Pre-employment requirements: Nashville Zoo is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and maintains a drug-free work environment. All employment is at-will. All candidates are required to successfully complete a criminal background check and drug screening prior to hire. Pre-employment and annual tuberculosis (TB) screenings are a condition of continued employment. Pay Range: $16.10 USD - $16.10 USD We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, drug-free, at-will, criminal background check, drug screening, TB screenings. Those are boilerplate/legal. Remove them. Also remove "Pre-employment requirements:" heading? We can keep the content but remove the boilerplate lines. Since all content under that heading is boilerplate, we may drop the whole section. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the Pre-employment requirements section entirely. Now we need to decide sections. We have mission and why work with us (benefits). Could combine into "About the role" (mission) and "Benefits" (why work with us). Or we could have "About the role" include mission and why work with us. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use:

About the role

with mission and position description? Actually position description is about role. Could include mission and position description. But we also have "Why Work with Us" which is benefits. So we can have Benefits section. Responsibilities: duties and responsibilities. Requirements: maybe combine education/experience and qualifications/skills? Or we could have Qualifications and Skills separate. But we should avoid thin sections. Let's combine qualifications and skills into Requirements? Or we could have Qualifications and Skills as separate headings if they have substantive content. They do have content. But we need to avoid many thin sections. However we have both Qualifications Skills and Education/Experience. Could combine into Requirements. But the instruction says: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings as appropriate. We need to include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for About the role (mission + position description). We have Responsibilities (duties). We have Requirements (education/experience). We have Qualifications Skills (skills). We have Benefits (why work with us). We have Pay (pay range). We have Schedule (work schedule). Physical Responsibilities could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section but not in list; we could incorporate into Requirements. We should not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific content. Thus we can output:
