That's more requirements. Qualifications could be similar. To avoid duplication, maybe we just have Requirements and Skills.

We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, video link, etc. We removed those.
Check for any repeated content: we have schedule includes year-round, which was also mentioned earlier. That's fine.
We must not include Pay section because no pay info.
We must not include Qualifications section if we think it's redundant; we have Requirements and Skills. Could we add Qualifications? The posting mentions "Entry Level" and "no experience needed". That's covered in Requirements. So we can skip Qualifications.
