The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does not state a specific schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time, shift).

Also "Requirements Normally requires a high school diploma or equivalent and 1-2 years or more of sales experience..." That's qualifications. Could split: Requirements (education/experience, CDL, etc.), Qualifications (maybe language, math, reasoning), Skills (maybe same). But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine into one Requirements section covering education, experience, licenses, physical demands, language, math, reasoning. But we also have Benefits separate, Pay separate.
