for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove accommodations? Accommodations maybe not required but could be considered part of Benefits? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Accommodations is not exactly those but could be considered part of benefits? Might keep but maybe not needed.

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like location (New Castle County, Kent County or Sussex County). Also mention that the position is Deputy Attorney General I salary $95,329 max etc. Also mention pay grades.
We need to format using headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

We need to decide what is a list. For responsibilities, we can list bullet points. For requirements, list bullet. For benefits, list bullet.
We need to avoid duplication.
