• . Requirements: we have "Qualifications - Required" bullet list, "Qualifications - Preferred" bullet list, "Physical Requirements" list, "Work Conditions" paragraph. We could combine all into Requirements section with sub-sections? But spec says use

  for section headings only; we could have nested headings? Not specified. Probably just one level. Could combine all into one Requirements section with lists. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could have separate subheadings? Not allowed? Only h3 for section headings; we could still use

  for sub-sections but that would be extra headings. Might be okay but risk of thin sections. Better to combine into one Requirements section with multiple

  lists, each preceded by a

  describing category? But spec says use

  for prose,

  • for any list. So we can have

    for intro then

    for each list. We'll produce:

    Schedule

    This is a second shift position with hours 15:00-23:00.

    We corrected "scenod shift" to "second shift". Should we keep original text? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail.

But that seems like a typo; preserving it is fine. We'll keep original phrasing. Thus schedule:
