for prose. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract duties:
- Participates with the manager and other managers within the organization in planning, direction, and evaluation activities.
- Disseminates program and project documentation and guidance for use by the staff for a variety of assignments.
- Exercises exclusive control over the manager's calendar, with complete authority for commitments of time.
- Participates in external and internal meetings, working groups, and task forces involving administrative and management issues.
- Applies analytical techniques to the identification, consideration, and resolution of issues or problems of a procedural or factual nature sufficient to participate in analytical and evaluative work related to the analysis of problems and issues impacting the organization.
- Develops and presents recommendations to the management team.
- Assists the manager through the development and preparation of appropriate information, reports, and correspondence.
- Serves as a liaison between the organization and the Corporate human resources representative to obtain a variety of services related to staffing and human resources management.
That's duties.
Requirements: There's a "Conditions of employment" paragraph about Executive Order 14170, essay questions, eligibility, answer all questions completely and truthfully. Also "Key Requirements": Must be US Citizen, e-Verify, males must abide by Selective Service registration, report in person to official duty location.
Also "Qualifications" section includes specialized experience requirements, education substitution, etc.
We need to decide sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly Benefits? There's mention of benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." but it's generic, not specific. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits generically but not specific. Might be considered boilerplate? It's generic description of benefits but not specific like health insurance, retirement. Might be considered filler? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits but vague. I'd consider it not specific enough; better to omit Benefits section.
Pay/Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications.
Within Requirements, we have Conditions of employment (Executive Order etc.) and Key Requirements (citizenship, e-Verify, Selective Service, reporting in person). Could combine into a list.
Qualifications: Specialized experience requirements, education substitution details.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like "one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-07)" etc.
We need to format as HTML fragment.

Now Qualifications:
We need to include specialized experience requirements, education substitution details, etc.
Let's extract:
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:A qualified candidate's resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-07) in the Federal service. Specialized experience for this position is defined as: (1) assisting multiple managers or executives; (2) Providing administrative support, to prepare reports, spreadsheets, and correspondence; (3) Planning and scheduling meetings and organizational events; AND (4) coordinating official travel for staff.
You May Substitute Education For Specialized Experience As Follows Master's or equivalent graduate degree; or 2 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree; or a LL.B. or J.D. if related; your education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work. -OR- Combination of education and experience as described above. Less than one year of specialized experience may be combined with graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level (i.e., credit hours beyond the first year of full-time study may be credited). One academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credits hours the graduate school has determined to represent one academic year of full-time study. If the graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study is not available, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) is used. When crediting education that requires specific course work the number of hours of related courses required, as a proportion of the total education, is prorated. "Experience" refers to paid and unpaid experience. Examples of qualifying unpaid experience may include: volunteer work done through National Service programs (such as Peace Corps and AmeriCorps); as well as work for other community-based philanthropic and social organizations. Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills; and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. You must meet all qualifications and eligibility requirements by the closing date of this announcement.
Education If substituting education for specialized experience you must submit proof of your qualifying education. Education must be obtained from an accredited institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. See Foreign education must be reviewed by an organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. For special instructions pertaining to foreign education and a list of organizations that can evaluate foreign education, see the Failure to provide college transcripts may result in a rating of 'Ineligible'.
We need to keep all that. It's a lot of prose; we can put in paragraphs.
We should not create subheadings inside Qualifications unless needed. Could just have a
with the detailed text.
But we need to preserve list items for the four specialized experience items. Those are a list.
Thus:
Qualifications
A qualified candidate's resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS‑07) in the Federal service. Specialized experience for this position is defined as:
- assisting multiple managers or executives;
- providing administrative support, to prepare reports, spreadsheets, and correspondence;

We need to avoid placeholders like "[appropriate guidance]" - we should keep original text: "See Foreign education must be reviewed by an organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Probably it's a link missing. We should keep as is: "see the". Might be considered incomplete but it's part of posting. We'll keep it.
Now ensure no boilerplate: We removed EEO, veterans, telework, etc. Also removed "Additional information" etc. Also removed "BPA strives..." etc. Also removed "Veterans Information", "Telework Selective Service Registration", etc.
