But we already listed many of those in Qualifications; maybe we should not duplicate. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section Qualifications. But we already have Qualifications. Could drop Skills section to avoid duplication. However we need to include Skills heading only if there is real specific content not already covered. Since Qualifications already covers skills, we could omit Skills. But we have "Skills" as a possible heading; we can decide to not include it. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Now Benefits: need to list all benefits from Additional Information.

EEO is the law - click here for more information We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should strip that last paragraph about EEO. Also remove duplicated lines etc. We need to keep benefits: Thriving Wellness Community details, Career Advancement Opportunities, Focused Learning and Development, Empowering Mentorship Program, Continuous Improvement Training, Building a Healthy Society, Wonderful CSRGiving Back to the Community, Love Out Loud description, The Wonderful Company description (maybe part of About the role? but we already have About the role). However the company description about The Wonderful Company could be considered part of About the role or maybe we could include under About the role? But we already have About the role focusing on role. Could add a separate section "About the company"? Not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role? Might be okay to include some company description under About the role? But the instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should not create other headings. So we need to place company description somewhere within allowed sections. Could put under About the role (mix role and company). Or we could put under Benefits? Not appropriate. Could put under Qualifications? Not. Probably best to put company description under About the role, as it's about the role and company. Thus About the role paragraph will include both the role description and company description.
