for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)".

with required and preferred lists. - Skills: Not explicitly listed but qualifications include skills. Could we create a Skills section? Might be thin. Better to not create unless explicit. The qualifications include skills like analytical, etc. Could put them under Qualifications. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not mentioned in posting. So we should NOT create those sections.
