for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. The posting includes: Job Title, FLSA STATUS, REPORTS TO, ASSIGNMENT DATE, DESIGNATED HEADQUARTERS (these are metadata; we can fold into a short

maybe under About the role or separate? Could be a short paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like FLSA Status Disclaimer, Acknowledgement And Receipt, Background & Criminal History Authorization, Job Posted by ApplicantPro. Those are boilerplate/legal; remove. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to keep the essential job functions list, education/experience, skills and abilities, other requirements (age, driver license, vehicle, physical screening, CPR/First Aid, confidentiality, supervisory responsibilities none, equipment to be used, physical demands, mental demands, working conditions, employee benefits). Also maybe note that supervisory responsibilities: none. We need to format lists with
- . For prose use
. We need to decide headings: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential job functions). Requirements (education/experience). Qualifications (skills and abilities). Other Requirements (maybe combine with Requirements? Could be separate but we want few substantive sections. Could combine education/experience and skills into Requirements and Qualifications. But we have to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can also add a section for Working Conditions? Not in list; but we could put schedule info under Schedule heading. Benefits under Benefits. Physical/Mental demands maybe under Requirements? Could be part of Requirements.
