The rule: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid but says use for section headings. I think using for main sections and maybe for sub-sections is okay, but to be safe, I could make "Knowledge" and "Abilities" as separate sections? But they are under Qualifications.
