Accounting Technician

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. First, summary: "This position is assigned to the Support Services Office; Fleet & Family Readiness Division, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic; Commander, Navy Installations Command; located on Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. The primary purpose of this position is to examine, verify, and maintain complex accounting transactions which involve a number of different programs, extensive subdivision of accounts, and frequently and varied adjustments to accounts." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

. Then duties: many bullet-like sentences. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We'll list each duty as separate
• . Might be many; but okay. Then Requirements: includes conditions of employment etc. We'll put under

  Requirements

  with
  • . Qualifications: includes knowledge, skill, etc. Also Education. We'll put under

    Qualifications

    with
    • . Also maybe Education as separate? But we can include within Qualifications. Skills: The posting includes many skill statements; but they are part of Qualifications. We could create a Skills section if distinct. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Skills into Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we could still make Skills if there is content. The Qualifications already includes skill statements. Might be redundant. Better to have Qualifications covering knowledge, skills, abilities. So we will not create separate Skills section unless there is distinct skill list not covered. The posting includes "Skill in applying extensive and diverse accounting regulations..." etc. That's skill. So Qualifications covers. Benefits: The posting includes "Help Review our benefits" but no details. There's no actual benefits description. So we should NOT create Benefits section because no specific content. Similarly Pay: "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's vague but it's a statement about pay. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary is dependent on experience and/or education. That's a statement about pay, albeit not specific. Is that enough? It says "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's a statement about pay. We could include a Pay section with that sentence. However the instruction also says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." is similar to "commensurate with experience". Might be considered filler. Safer to omit Pay section. Schedule: none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes many lines like "Help NF 525 03" etc. Those are likely part of duties headings? Actually "Help NF 525 03" appears before duties list. It seems like a tag. We should drop those as they are not substantive. Also "Help" appears before sections. We'll ignore. We need to preserve all substantive info: duties list, requirements list, qualifications list, education note, etc. Let's extract duties sentences after "Duties Help NF 525 03". Actually the text: "Duties Help NF 525 03 Receives, reviews, and classifies a variety of complex accounting documents/transactions, such as systems with extensive subdivision of accounts, frequent and varied adjustments to accounts, and a number of different programs.

Performs other duties as assigned" We need to split into sensible list items. Could break at each sentence. We'll produce
    • for each sentence. Similarly Requirements: after "Requirements Help". The text: "Conditions of employment Must pass all applicable records and background check. Must successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check. Any discrepancies must be resolved as a condition of employment. Must meet federal suitability requirements including successful completion of background investigation. Must be able to lift up to 10lbs unassisted. Starting May 7, 2025, non-affiliated individuals requesting access will need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification to access CNRMA Installations. (review required documents section for more information.)" We'll split sentences. Qualifications: after "Qualifications Resumes must include information which demonstrates experience and knowledge, skills, and ability (KSAs) as they relate to this position. Applicants are encouraged to be clear and specific when describing their experience level and KSAs. A qualified candidate must possess: NF 525 03 Knowledge of accounting procedures and techniques that enables incumbent to understand and work with a total accounting system which involves different programs that generate a large variety of transactions.

Knowledge of standard office equipment, such as electric/electronic typewriters, copiers, fax machines, and office automation systems, to perform a substantial range of office automation support. Education This position does not have a positive education requirement." We'll split sentences, but note that some sentences are long with multiple clauses; we can keep as one
    • each. Additional information: includes salary statement, drug-free workplace, etc. That's not a section we will include (maybe as part of About the role? but it's extra info). The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could be placed under a generic section like "Additional Information". But we only allowed headings from list. However we could add a

      after Qualifications for extra info not fitting headings. 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 using those for sections. It also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a

      for additional info after Qualifications without a heading. That's acceptable. Thus final HTML:

      About the role

      ... summary

      Requirements

      Additional info paragraphs: salary statement, drug-free workplace, etc.

      We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The additional info includes: "Additional information Salary is dependent on experience and/or education.
