About the role
mission/intro + position overview combined? Could split but we can put all prose in
. Might be long but okay.
Better: separate About the role (mission/intro) and Position Overview? But instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We can have About the role covering mission/intro and position overview. Then Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Qualifications (Required). Skills (Preferred Skills). Benefits (What We Offer). Pay (Pay Range). Possibly also include Why Join Us as part of About the role or Benefits? Could be separate section "Why Join Us" but not in list of headings; but we can still use heading if content exists. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to stick to those headings. So we can incorporate Why Join Us content into About the role or Benefits. Probably About the role includes mission, position overview, why join us, location.
Thus:
