However they are identical; we could split: Requirements could be the bullet points about experience/education, Qualifications could be the skills list? But the list includes both. To follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine into one section, maybe "Requirements" and omit Qualifications heading if no distinct content. But we need to include heading only when posting has real specific content for it. Since the content is same, we could put all under Requirements and not create Qualifications heading. Or we could create Qualifications heading with same content but that would be duplicate; better to avoid thin sections. Skills: we could extract skills: solid verbal communication, writing and Social Media expertise; experience with event turnout, volunteer recruitment and mobilization; familiarity with VAN, Action Network; solid computer skills including Microsoft Office. Could make Skills section. Benefits: from Why Should You Apply? we have competitive salary and excellent benefits (medical, dental, life, long-term disability, retirement), generous PTO plan, work-life balance, collaborative supportive environment, opportunity to make difference. We'll not include Pay or Schedule headings as no specific. Now produce HTML fragment:
