Check for any duplicated content: We have "Ability to work a minimum of 3 shifts every month; if and when shifts are available." That's a responsibility but also schedule. We included schedule minimum 3 shifts per month. Could also keep that in responsibilities but it's okay to have duplicate? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate is okay if it's in original. But we might want to keep it in responsibilities as well. However we already have schedule section; we could keep the responsibility line as is. But we already have schedule line "Minimum of 3 shifts per month". It's essentially same. To avoid duplication, we could keep the responsibility line as is and not duplicate in schedule. But schedule section needs to reflect schedule specifics: we can include "Minimum of 3 shifts per month" as schedule item. It's okay to have same content in two places? Might be considered duplication but not invented. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not forbid duplication. However better to avoid unnecessary duplication but not required. I'd keep both: responsibilities include that ability; schedule includes that requirement. It's fine.
