maybe split into subheadings? But we only allowed headings from list; we can have Qualifications heading and inside we can have paragraphs or lists. Could also break into Education, Licensure/Certification, Experience as subheadings but not in allowed list; better to keep as paragraphs or lists under Qualifications. Similarly Skills. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from Essential Duties And Responsibilities, all qualifications details, all knowledge/skills/abilities, and organizational expectations and physical demands? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine Organizational Expectations and Physical Demands into Requirements or maybe into Qualifications? But they are not exactly qualifications. Could create a section "Requirements" for those. The allowed headings include Requirements. So we can put organizational expectations and physical demands under Requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to extract content.
