or drop it. Effective date is minor metadata; we can include in a p maybe under a generic "About the role"? But we should not create a heading for it unless there is real content. Probably we can include a

Requirements (minimum qualifications maybe includes knowledge, skills, abilities, education, certification). Skills (maybe KSAs). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none present, so we should not include those sections. We must use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each duty as
- . For knowledge, skills, abilities we could list as
- items. Also education, certification, license requirements as list.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So no heading for job title.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must remove boilerplate like disclaimer, effective date maybe minor; but we can keep effective date as a short p maybe under About the role.

Now we need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role (position purpose) -> h3 About the role, then p with purpose text, plus maybe effective date as a small p.
- Responsibilities -> h3 Responsibilities, then ul li list of duties.
- Requirements -> could combine Minimum Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities, education, certification). But we also have Skills and Qualifications sections possible. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering KSAs, education, certification), Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications). Or we could have Skills separate. But we have KSAs which are skills and abilities. Could make a Skills section for KSAs, and a Requirements section for education and certification. However we need to avoid many thin sections. Perhaps combine KSAs and education/certification into Requirements. Preferred Qualifications could be Qualifications.
Thus sections:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (includes KSAs, education, certification)
- Qualifications (preferred qualifications)
- Working Conditions (maybe as a section? Not in the list of allowed headings but we could treat as "Working Conditions" not in allowed list; but we could incorporate into Requirements? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we could still use other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map Working Conditions into one of those? Could be under Requirements? Not ideal. Could be under About the role? Not ideal. Could be under Responsibilities? Not.
Maybe we can treat Working Conditions as part of Requirements (since they are requirements for the job). Or we could create a section "Requirements" and include both KSAs and Working Conditions as sublists. But the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a Requirements section with sublists for KSAs, Education/Certification, Working Conditions.
Thus we will have:
