and then maybe use- for each competency group? Could separate with
headings inside? Not allowed? The instruction only says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings inside, but better to keep to those. We can use
for prose and
- for lists. So we can have a
describing competencies, knowledges, abilities, tools & equipment as separate paragraphs, each maybe preceded by a ? Not required. We'll just list them as
- items, but we need to differentiate categories? Could just list all items flat. But that may lose nuance but still preserve all info. However we risk losing grouping but still preserving content. The instruction: "Use
