The posting includes Pay: $20.00 per hour; Incentives: +$1/hour for weekend or overnight shifts; +$2/hour for shifts that qualify as both. So we have pay details. So we should have a Pay section with that info. Also Benefits: "Comprehensive benefits" is vague but it's a statement; we could include Benefits section with that line. However rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Comprehensive benefits" is vague but still a statement; maybe acceptable? It's not placeholder like "varies". It's a statement that they offer comprehensive benefits. Could include.
- Growth opportunities: could be part of Benefits or separate? Not a standard heading; we could put under Benefits.
- Schedule: we have schedule info.

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Use
