The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they ask to use headings for those categories if content exists. We have qualifications content; we can also have Skills section for things like communication, teamwork, judgment. But we must avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can merge Skills into Qualifications? But they said use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Skills if there is distinct content. We have some skill-like items: Strong verbal and written communication skills, Ability to work well with others, Ability to exercise sound judgment in animal emergency, Ability to provide excellence in guest engagement, Ability to coordinate animal enrichment across diverse taxa. Those could be considered skills.
