We should not include the link? It's part of benefits but maybe we can keep as prose. It's not boilerplate. It's okay.
We need to exclude EEO statement, search firm disclaimer, etc.
We need to include sections only if real content.
Potential sections:
- About the role (maybe from Position Summary) - we can call it "About the role" or "Position Summary". The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings if we have content. We have content for About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (Job Functions). Requirements (Education And Qualifications). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we could put education/qualifications under Requirements, and maybe Skills under Qualifications? But we have skills listed in qualifications (leadership, communication). Could treat Qualifications as skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can have:
About the role

Responsibilities
- ... each function.

Skills

But we also have "Preferred" items (experience with service business processes, parts inventory management, product lifecycle management preferred; working knowledge of Dynamics 365 Field Service preferred). Those could go under Skills or Requirements as preferred.
