We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
Let's extract content.

Requirements: Basic Qualifications: Must be fluent in reading, writing, and speaking English. (Except in Puerto Rico) Requires willingness to work flexible schedule, including evening and weekend hours.
Preferred Qualifications: Prefer six months of experience in a retail environment. Prefer to have prior work experience with Walgreens. Prefer good math skills so they can fill prescriptions accurately, including counting, measuring and weighing medications. Prefer good computer skills. Prefer the knowledge of store inventory control. Prefer PTCB certification. We will consider employment of qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. An Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/veterans. (EEO boilerplate to remove). So we should keep the preferred qualifications but remove EEO line.
Skills: Could be derived from preferred qualifications: math skills, computer skills, inventory control, etc. But we might combine with qualifications. The instruction says use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both basic qualifications and preferred qualifications. Could make a "Requirements" section for basic qualifications, and a "Qualifications" section for preferred qualifications. Skills maybe not needed separately if covered. But we could still include Skills if we want to list specific skills like math, computer, inventory control. However we risk thin sections. Better to combine into Qualifications.
Benefits: The posting includes "To review benefits, please click here jobs.walgreens.com/benefits." and "If you are applying on a job board or unable to click on the link, please copy and paste this URL into your browser jobs.walgreens.com/benefits". That's application instruction? It's directing to benefits page. Might be considered not boilerplate but it's a link. We'll include a Benefits section with a paragraph containing that link.
Pay: Salary Range: $17 - $20.5 / Hourly.
Schedule: "Requires willingness to work flexible schedule, including evening and weekend hours." That's schedule info.
We must not duplicate the flexible schedule line in both Requirements and Schedule. It's okay to mention in both? Might be duplication. Better to put schedule info only in Schedule section, and maybe not repeat in Requirements. But Requirements includes "Requires willingness to work flexible schedule, including evening and weekend hours." That's basically same as schedule. We could keep it in Requirements as a basic qualification, but then schedule section would be redundant. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both Requirements and Schedule might be okay if they have distinct content. But if schedule is same line, it's thin. Perhaps we can move the flexible schedule to Schedule section only, and remove from Requirements. However the basic qualifications also include English fluency. So Requirements could be just English fluency. That's substantive enough.
