The posting says "Actual salary commensurate with experience." That's placeholder-like. So we should NOT include Pay section because it's just "commensurate with experience". So omit Pay.

The posting does mention software knowledge etc. We could create a Skills section with list: Proficient in AMCOM, EPIC, Invision, CECC; knowledgeable of scheduling process for all clinic areas; skilled at utilizing software applications for making appointments; critical thinking to determine call priority; etc. But we must avoid duplication.
