for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.

- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: shift availability.
- Skills? Not explicitly listed separate; but we have computer proficient etc. Could be part of Qualifications. We'll not create Skills unless we have explicit list.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, etc.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We need to drop duplicated lines (e.g., "Assists with urgent client issues outside of business hours as needed" appears twice). We should keep only one instance.
We need to remove boilerplate like "ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED IN ENTIRETY FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION/LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY." That's application instruction; remove.
Also remove "To apply, visit https://apptrkr.com/4436331 Copyright ©2022 Jobelephant.com Inc. All rights reserved." etc.
Also remove "FLSA Classification: Exempt" maybe not needed but could be part of About the role? It's metadata; we could include in a short p under About the role? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include FLSA classification in a short p.
Similarly "Job Location: USVETS West LA - Los Angeles, CA" and "Position Type: Full Time" etc can be short p.
We need to preserve all substantive information; location, position type, education level, etc are substantive? They said fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. So we can include them in a short p under About the role maybe.
Let's craft.
