We also have mention of hybrid academic appointment and contract length options; these could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Appointment Details". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Requirements" could be used for qualifications? But we already have Qualifications. Could use Requirements for mandatory qualifications, and Qualifications for preferred? But instructions: Use headings only when posting has real specific content. We can decide to put mandatory qualifications under Qualifications and preferred under Skills? Or we could have Qualifications for both required and preferred, but we need to preserve all detail. Could split: Qualifications (required) and Skills (preferred + abilities). However Skills heading is for skills, not necessarily qualifications. But we can put cultural values and abilities under Skills.
Better: Use Qualifications for required qualifications (DVM, 3+ years, licensure, DEA, commitment to excellence). Use Skills for preferred qualifications and cultural values, communication, organizational, etc. Use Responsibilities for duties list. Use About the role for descriptive overview (including location, mission, overview of Clemson and PCVM, hybrid appointment, contract options). That seems reasonable.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content.
