The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those sections if content exists. We have both Minimum and Preferred qualifications; we could make Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed if covered. But we could still include Skills if there is distinct skill content not covered elsewhere. The Minimum Qualifications includes many skill statements; we could treat those as Skills section and Requirements as something else? But we need to preserve all substantive info. If we put Skills section, we must not duplicate content; we could split Minimum Qualifications into Requirements (maybe education/experience) and Skills (technical). However the Minimum Qualifications list includes both experience and skills. It might be okay to put all under Requirements. Then Qualifications for Preferred. Skills maybe omitted.
