with - items.
- "Primary Support Areas": more details of responsibilities. Could be part of responsibilities.
- "Additional/Secondary Support Areas": also responsibilities.
- "More broadly, this team member will be engaged in a diverse set of project-specific tasks...": responsibilities.
- "In addition to client-facing responsibilities, this role will support important activities that contribute to the growth of our business...": responsibilities.
Thus responsibilities can be a combined list.

This includes: Must be able to OBTAIN and MAINTAIN a Federal or DoD "PUBLIC TRUST"; candidates must obtain approved adjudication of their PUBLIC TRUST prior to onboarding with Guidehouse. Candidates with an ACTIVE PUBLIC TRUST or SUITABILITY are preferred.

. Probably Requirements.
- "What Would Be Nice To Have": nice-to-have qualifications. Could be under Qualifications
or Preferred Qualifications
. But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Qualifications for both required and preferred? Or we could separate: Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred. Let's do Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred.
- "Demonstrates Proven Thorough Abilities In The Following Areas": could be Skills.
- "Willingness to learn and participate in business development activities...": also Skills.
- "What We Offer": benefits. So Benefits
with list.
- "About Guidehouse": could be About the role? Actually "About Guidehouse" is company description. Could be About the role? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe describing the role). But we already have responsibilities etc. Could use About the role for a brief overview: "Our professionals help our clients..." That's at start under "What You Will Do"? Actually the first paragraph after "What You Will Do" is: "Our professionals help our clients to identify, evaluate, and solve some of their most complex challenges, assisting them in achieving their strategic goals and objectives to fulfill their mission. We help our clients transform their business processes, improve efficiency of operations, evaluate and improve internal controls, strengthen policies and controls, increase transparency and performance management, and comply with Federal laws and regulations." That's more about the role. Could be About the role.

That is in the header: "Job Family Finance & Accounting Consulting Travel Required Up to 10% Clearance Required Ability to Obtain Public Trust". This is metadata about the job. Should we include? It's substantive: travel required up to 10%, clearance required ability to obtain public trust. We could include in About the role or Requirements. Probably include in About the role as a short paragraph.
Also "Job Family Finance & Accounting Consulting" maybe not needed.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title.
