for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title.

Possibly Schedule? Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule. We need to avoid duplication and boilerplate. Remove repeated paragraphs about remote and states (they appear twice). Keep only once maybe in About the role? The posting includes location info; but we are told not to put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings, but location info is not a heading; we can include in a paragraph maybe under About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location info is minor metadata; we could include a short paragraph about location/remote. But we also have a section About the role maybe includes role summary and location. However we need to decide sections. We have role summary: "As a Retirement Plan Operations Specialist at Guidant Financial you will take the first step down the path of learning the full process of what it takes to administer, test and report on 401(k) plans.

You'll review documents submitted by our clients, proactively keep clients updated on progress and help clients understand the year-end reporting documents necessary to complete government filings, including the annual 5500 return."
