ACCOUNTS MAINTENANCE CLERK/ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN.

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe "Responsibilities"? The posting has "Duties" heading. According to rules: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map "Duties" to

Responsibilities

or maybe "Duties" as heading but they said use those examples; we can use "Responsibilities". Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. Also we must not repeat job title as heading (none given). Must not put Job ID etc. We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: Responsibilities (from Duties), Requirements (maybe Conditions of employment?), Qualifications (the detailed qualification info), maybe Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not specific (only mention Pay for first time hires will be step 1 salary range; that's generic, maybe we should not include Pay because it's not specific? It says "Pay for first time hires to the Federal Government will typically be set at step 1 salary range for their respective grade level." That's somewhat generic but still a statement about pay. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay, albeit generic. Should we include? It says "Pay for first time hires..." That's a statement about pay. I'd include a Pay section with that sentence. Schedule? Not present. Benefits? Not present. We also need to include maybe "About the role"? Not needed. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many lines about Conditions of employment, Selective Service, security clearance, etc. Those are part of Requirements? Probably we should include them under Requirements (or maybe a separate "Requirements" section). The posting has a "Requirements" heading? Actually there is a line "Requirements Conditions of employment ***This Job Opportunity Announcement is using an additional online assessment tool..." So we can treat that as Requirements. We need to preserve all substantive info: duties list, qualifications details, education substitution, etc. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract duties: - Interprets data, identifies related transactions and determines root causes/source of problem identifying trends and workable/corrective solutions. - Researches and processes a variety of recurring standard and nonstandard accounting transactions for adequacy, legality, and propriety. - Prepares correspondence responding to inquiries of a non-routine nature explaining various aspects of accounting and providing detailed and technical explanations of accounting discrepancies or procedural and reporting requirements. - Perform technical accounting work including the maintenance, validation, and reconciliation of accounting records for multiple accounts. - The duties performed for developmental positions (below the GS-06 level) will be of limited scope and complexity to develop skills, proficiency, and work experience. We can put each as

• . Now Requirements: The block after "Requirements Conditions of employment ***This Job Opportunity Announcement is using an additional online assessment tool to evaluate applicants. Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, HOW TO APPLY and WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT sections below for instructions.***Suitable for Federal Employment.Registered for Selective Service (males born after 12-31-1959).Obtain/Maintain Financial Management Certification.This national security position, which may require access to classified information, requires a favorable suitability review and security clearance as a condition of employment.

We need to strip out the instruction to review HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED etc (that's application instruction). Also maybe the line about "Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, HOW TO APPLY and WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT sections below for instructions." That's boilerplate/application instruction, remove. Also "Suitable for Federal Employment." is a statement; keep? It's substantive? Might be considered boilerplate but it's a condition. I'd keep as part of requirements. We need to keep: Registered for Selective Service (males born after 12-31-1959). Obtain/Maintain Financial Management Certification. This national security position... requires a favorable suitability review and security clearance... Failure to maintain security eligibility may result in termination. Must be a U.S Citizen. New employees to DFAS will be required to successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check. To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, visit e-verify.gov. Drug Testing is not required. Moving expenses will not be paid. This position is not covered by a bargaining unit. Travel requirement is 1-24%. This position is Non-Exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. Telework availability will be based upon the mission requirements and supervisory determination. Pay for first time hires to the Federal Government will typically be set at step 1 salary range for their respective grade level. We should keep the E-Verify link? It's a URL; we can keep as plain text. Now Qualifications: large block. Need to preserve details: entry grade GS-04, GS-05, GS-06 with target grade GS-06. Then details for each grade: experience requirements, definitions, education substitution, combining education and experience, official transcripts, foreign education, etc. Also note about Volunteer Experience, certification requirement (Level 1 Certification under DoD FM Certification Program). Also note about education substitution details. We must keep all that. We need to format as
  • for lists. The qualifications section contains many paragraphs; we can break into

    for prose and

    • for lists where appropriate. We need to identify lists: The bullet-like items: "To Be Hired At The GS-04 Entry Grade Level, Applicants Must Minimally Have: One year of general experience..." That's a sentence; could be

      . The definitions: "General Experience at the GS-04 Is Defined As: Progressively responsible clerical, office, or other work..." That's also a sentence. We could treat each requirement as

      . However the instruction says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list of items (like multiple requirements), we should wrap them in
        • . For qualifications, there are multiple items: experience requirement for each grade, education substitution, combining education and experience, official transcripts, foreign education, volunteer experience, certification requirement. We could make a
          with each as
          • . But we also have sub-details inside each (like definitions). Might be okay to keep as

            inside

          • . But simpler: we can keep the whole qualifications section as series of

            paragraphs, not lists. The rule says use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't have a explicit list, we can use

              . The qualifications section is not a simple list; it's detailed prose. So we can use

              . Similarly for Requirements we could use

              or

              • if we treat each condition as list item. Might be better to use
                • for requirements because it's a list of conditions. Let's do that. Thus:
