Also remove "External Applicants Please ensure all required documents..." etc. Also remove "Current Employees Apply from your existing Workday account..." etc. Also remove "Job Description Summary" maybe considered heading? It's a summary, we can treat as About the role? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to those headings where appropriate. We should not repeat job title. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content.
We have:
- Job Description Summary: describes role: "The Landscape Technician performs various manual duties in developing and maintaining the grounds, drives, walks, and parking areas of the Reynolda campus and certain designated off-campus properties." That's about the role. So we can have

Physical Requirements not listed as allowed heading, but we could put under Requirements? Might be better to create a section like "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed list. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. So we can add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll include under Requirements as a bullet list.
