The posting mentions: "Bilingual Field Interviewers conduct in-person and computer-assisted video interviews in English and Spanish".

Could list: bilingual English/Spanish proficiency, ability to conduct computer-assisted video interviews, ability to conduct in-person interviews, ability to travel, ability to maintain confidentiality, ability to follow procedures. Might be okay. - Benefits: health and welfare payment $5.35 weekly (up to 40 hrs), paid vacation and holiday leave based on hours worked, sick leave accrual based on hours worked, eligibility for 401(k) program (employer matching dependent on hours worked), potential for reassignment to other projects, overtime pay eligibility.

We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
