Also mention work location, weekly schedule, flex time off. So we can include Schedule section.
About Us and About The Team: Could be included as sections but maybe not required. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. About Us and About The Team are somewhat generic but contain specific info about Grant Thornton. Might be considered substantive. However we might combine them into About the company? But we already have About the role. Could include About the company as a section? Not in the list of headings but we could still use
About the company
though not in examples. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to stick to those headings. So we may omit About Us and About The Team if they'd be thin? They have some detail but could be considered boilerplate? Might be okay to include as About the role? But we already used About the role for role description. Could incorporate company info into About the role paragraph? Might be stretching.
Better to include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications? Actually Requirements covers qualifications. We'll not duplicate.
We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate, EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also remove "Approved office locations can be found below." (no list given) maybe drop.
We must not include application instructions like "Here’s what you can expect next: If you apply and are selected to interview, a Grant Thornton team member will reach out to you..." etc. Remove.
Also remove "See how at www.gt.com/careers" etc.
We must preserve all substantive information: salary range, benefits description, schedule requirement, responsibilities, qualifications.
