We can include that as part of About the role.

- Assist with website updates, including seasonal information, photo sliders, project updates, and resource links.
- Distribute publications and marketing materials to City facilities, local businesses, senior living facilities, park kiosks, and other designated locations.

- Tag and organize events across webpages for easy public access.
- Redirect calendar items to ActiveNet and/or provide accurate descriptions from the Activities Guide for drop-in activities.
- Support seasonal activity updates three times per year and lead ongoing upkeep and maintenance of calendar items.
We need to format as list items; sub-items could be nested
but spec only says use - for any list. Could nest but okay.
We'll keep as flat list maybe with dash.
Better to keep as separate
- for each bullet, and for sub-bullets we can also
- inside a nested
. That's fine.
Next Requirements: include Education and Experience, License/Certifications, Preferred Qualifications maybe as separate sub-sections? But we can combine into Requirements with subheadings? However we cannot add extra headings beyond the allowed list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but suggests those are examples. Safer to stick to those headings. We could have Requirements and Qualifications separate. But we have both education/experience and preferred qualifications. Could put education/experience under Requirements, and preferred qualifications under Qualifications. Or we could combine all under Requirements. Since we have both, maybe we create Requirements (education/experience/license) and Qualifications (preferred qualifications). That seems reasonable.
