That's boilerplate to remove. We need to decide sections. We have content for About the role (intro description). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (qualifications, experience, licenses). Skills (knowledge and abilities). Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned (Full Time - Days). Actually schedule info: "Full Time - Days". That is schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: none mentioned. Pay: none mentioned. So we omit those sections. We must not create sections with placeholder text like "not specified". So only include sections with real content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications? Actually Qualifications and Requirements may overlap. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (education, experience, licenses). Skills (knowledge and abilities). Schedule (Full Time - Days). Possibly also include "Qualifications" as separate from Requirements? But we can combine education/experience/licenses under Requirements. Qualifications could be same. To avoid duplication, we can have Requirements covering education, experience, licenses. Skills covering knowledge and abilities. Could also have a separate Qualifications heading for certifications? But we already have licenses under Requirements. Might be okay. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we must include details about education, experience, licenses, certifications, knowledge and abilities, essential functions broken down. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

We also might include a short paragraph for FLSA status Non-exempt maybe under About the role or Requirements. Could add a line: "FLSA STATUS: Non-exempt". But not required as heading.

They are broken into categories: PEOPLE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS, SERVICE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS, QUALITY/SAFETY ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS, FINANCE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS, GROWTH/INNOVATION ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS. We should capture each bullet. Thus under Responsibilities we need a list that includes all those items.

We also need to include the supplemental requirements: WORK ATTIRE, ON-CALL, TRAVEL. Those are also substantive info. Should we include them? They are not under the standard headings but we could include them under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". However the instruction only lists specific headings; we should not create new headings not in list unless we have real content. But we could incorporate them into Requirements or maybe under a "Requirements" section as extra bullets. The instruction says: "Use
