Also note: "We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway." Could be placed under Qualifications or Skills.
Skills: Could extract leadership, communication, problem-solving, ability to represent, etc. But we already have those in qualifications. Might still create a Skills section summarizing those. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they ask to use headings for Skills if content exists. We have explicit skills mentioned; we could create Skills section with those skills. But we risk duplication. Perhaps better to have Qualifications section include both required and preferred, and Skills section maybe not needed. However they said "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." They list Skills as an example; but we can omit if no specific skill list beyond qualifications. The qualifications already include skills; but we could still include Skills section with the leadership, communication, problem-solving etc. However that would duplicate content from Qualifications. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but might be considered redundant. Better to avoid duplication; we can put skills inside Qualifications. So we may omit Skills section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Check if any other sections like Requirements? Not needed.
Now Benefits section: need to include all details.
