So we should strip out EEO statements, reasonable accommodation, drug-free workplace, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Please follow all instructions carefully..." etc. Also remove relocation note? It's not boilerplate? It's specific: "RELOCATION: NO Payment of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) is authorized, based on a determination that a PCS move is not in the Government interest". That's substantive? Might be considered metadata but not required heading. We can fold into a short

maybe. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role: could be summary of purpose and location. We'll include. - Responsibilities: major duties list. - Requirements: conditions of employment (background, etc.) maybe. - Qualifications: education, experience, etc. - Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we could infer from qualifications. However we should not create a Skills section unless posting actually states them. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could include skills under Qualifications. Better to not create Skills section if not explicit. - Benefits: posting mentions benefits: "Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, life insurance, spouse & dependent life insurance, long-term disability, retirement, and 401(k) savings plan, annual and sick leave, tuition reimbursement, etc.). Stability of Federal Civilian ServicePeople with passion for doing work that mattersQuality of Work Life Balance". That's specific enough to include Benefits section. - Pay: posting says "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's vague but it's actual statement about pay. Should we include Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary dependent on experience/education. That's a statement, albeit not specific numbers. It's still stating something about pay. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. - Schedule: posting says "Hours of work vary to include split days off, possible late evenings, weekends and holidays. Incumbent must be able to work both indoors and outdoors, without a fixed schedule." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details but can format as lists. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, reasonable accommodation, drug-free workplace, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Our content is specific. Now craft HTML. First, About the role: combine location and purpose. Paragraph: "This position is located at Casa Linda Golf Course, Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department, Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, FL. The purpose of this position is to assist the Golf Course Superintendent in the maintenance of the golf course, which includes the greens, tees, fairways, roughs, irrigation systems and grounds maintenance duties of all MWR facilities and grounds maintenance equipment. Incumbent assists with upkeep of a 27-hole golf course consisting of 275 acres." That's fine. Responsibilities: list major duties. We need to extract bullet points from the long duties paragraph. Let's parse: - Assists the Golf Course Superintendent in making determinations in the use of pesticides, chemicals, fertilizer and grass seed needed for the upkeep of a 27 hole Golf Course which includes greens, tees, fairways, roughs, practice range, equipment maintenance building, equipment storage building, chemical storage and mixing building, irrigation system, pump house and ponds within the confines of the Golf Course. - Tours the Golf Course to review work in progress and to observe the condition of the Golf Course. - Assists and ensures the proper functioning of the irrigation system and determines the correct amount of water applied on greens, tees, and fairways under various climatic conditions. - May make decisions on the amounts and types of soil nutriments and fertilizers to be applied to greens, fairways and roughs. - Must know how to take soil samples and decipher results for necessary amendments. - Administers amounts and types of soil nutriments and fertilizers for the greens, tees, fairways and roughs. - Assists and makes recommendations for the selection, application, storage, and otherwise safe handling of pesticides and other toxic substances. - Takes preventative measures to prevent damage to the course by small animals. - Oversees the Hazardous Material and Hazardous Waste Program for the Golf Course.
