We need to avoid sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like "This is an Open Continuous Announcement..." maybe that's part of duties? It's more about announcement process; could be omitted as it's not duty? The instruction: remove duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The "Open Continuous Announcement" text is about announcement process; might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal but could be considered administrative. Safer to omit? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The Open Continuous Announcement is not exactly those but could be considered part of announcement details; but it's not a duty. Might be safe to include under Responsibilities? Probably not needed. We'll omit. Also "Contact Ronda Eady..." is contact info; maybe part of application instructions; we should remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the details about Pay, Benefits, etc. Let's craft sections:
