Cook NA-04.
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Duties: bullet list of duties (multiple sentences). We'll put under
Duties
then - each duty.
- Requirements: includes Conditions of employment list (multiple bullet-like sentences). Also includes work environment details. We'll treat as Requirements section.
- Qualifications: includes resume length, demonstration of knowledge etc. Also includes "Education" sub-section: "This job does not have an education qualification requirement." We'll treat Education as separate section? The instruction says we can have Education heading if there is content. It says "Education This job does not have an education qualification requirement." That's substantive (states no requirement). So we should include Education heading with that statement.
- Additional information: includes Area of Consideration, Manual Application Option, PCS Costs, Allowances and Differentials, Important Information Regarding Access to Certain Federal Facilities, See Your Application may be Considered for Multiple Opportunities, Termination of Spouse Employment Preference, Discover Your Path to Success, Working for Army NAF... etc. Many of these are boilerplate or generic benefits/instructions. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also we should not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless posting actually states them. The posting does mention Allowances and Differentials, PCS Costs not authorized, etc. That is about pay/benefits? It mentions Federal Wage Schedule (FWS) pay system, overtime, Sunday premium pay, extra pay after 3pm, non-foreign overseas allowances, COLA, differentials not paid. That is substantive pay info. So we could include a Pay section? The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state pay system details, so we could include a Pay section. However we need to decide if we want to include a Benefits section? It mentions health and life insurance, 401k, retirement plans, paid personal time off, federal holidays, NAF 401(k) plan, health insurance for flexible employees, etc. That's benefits info. So we could include Benefits section. Also Schedule? Not explicitly stated. There's mention of regular full-time, part-time, flexible employees, but no schedule details. So we likely omit Schedule.
We need to avoid application instructions like "Manual Application Option", "Be sure to submit your completed application form..." etc. Those are application instructions, should be removed. Also "Important Information Regarding Access to Certain Federal Facilities" maybe borderline but it's about access requirements, could be considered part of Requirements? Might be considered additional info but not boilerplate? It's specific: REAL ID etc. Might be kept as part of Requirements or Additional info. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Access to federal facilities is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered legal? It's a requirement for access. Might be kept.
We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication like "Discover Your Path to Success" etc. That's promotional fluff, maybe considered boilerplate? It's not strictly legal but could be considered marketing. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Not explicitly marketing. However we should preserve substantive information. The promotional fluff may be considered not substantive? It's vague. Might be considered boilerplate? I'd lean to remove it because it's not specific job info. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should keep only sections with real specific content: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Education, Pay, Benefits maybe. Also maybe Area of Consideration (worldwide) is specific. Could be under Additional information but we could incorporate into Requirements or a separate "Area" section? Not listed as allowed headings but we could use
Area of Consideration
if we want. The instruction gave examples but not limited to those; we can use other headings as long as they are . However they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests we should stick to those typical headings. But we could also use other headings if needed. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we could map:
- Duties -> Duties
- Responsibilities maybe same as Duties but we already have Duties.
- Requirements -> Requirements
(includes conditions of employment, work environment, background checks, etc.)
- Qualifications -> Qualifications
- Education -> Education
- Benefits -> Benefits
(includes health insurance, 401k, retirement, paid time off, federal holidays, NAF 401k, etc.)
- Pay -> Pay
(includes FWS pay system, overtime, Sunday premium, extra pay after 3pm, PCS costs not authorized, allowances not paid, etc.)
We should avoid Schedule.
Now we need to extract content for each.
Let's parse the posting text.
**Duties** (first paragraph):
"Duties Performs a full range of simple cooking by preparing and cooking items that require little or no processing.Mixes ingredients according to precisely written recipes.Operates a variety of kitchen equipment using gas, electricity, steam or microwave heat sources.Uses and cleans a variety of cooking utensils to measure, weigh, and process food items.Ensures that foods are stored at the correct temperatures to prevent bacteria growth."
We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by period. We'll make
- for each.
**Requirements** includes:
"Conditions of employment Direct Deposit and Social Security Card is required.Meet qualification/eligibility/background requirements for this position.A one-year probationary period may be required.Satisfactorily complete an employment verification (E-Verify) check.Subject to satisfactory completion of all pre-employment checks in accordance with AR 215-3, Chapter 2 to include a medical examination.Incumbent may be required to complete a Tier 1 background investigation for a Common Access Card for physical access to federally-controlled facilities.Satisfactory completion of a minimum of 4 hours initial food sanitation and safety training is required within 30 days of employment and a minimum of 4 hours refresher training annually.Work involves continual standing and walking, frequent stooping, reaching, pushing, pulling, and bending.Work is performed in kitchen areas, which are well lighted but are often hot and noisy.Employee is exposed to steam, fumes, odors from cooking, and to extreme temperature changes when entering walk-in refrigerators or freezing units.Must stand on tile floor, subject to burns, cuts, and slipping on wet floors.Must be able to lift or move objects up to 40 pounds unassisted, and occasionally lift or move objects weighing over 40 pounds with the assistance of other workers or lifting devices."
We should split into list items.
Also maybe include "Important Information Regarding Access to Certain Federal Facilities: Access to certain federal facilities may require a REAL ID-compliant driver's license/ID (marked with a star) or an Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) from WA, MI, MN, NY, or VT." This could be part of Requirements as well.
**Qualifications**:
"Resumes must be two pages (or less). Resumes should clearly demonstrate the applicant's relevant experience, skills, knowledge and abilities as they pertain to this position.A qualified candidate must possess the following: Basic knowledge of food preparation methods and procedures.Skill to cook a limited variety of prepared foods or short order foods.Ability to read and understand written food service material, such as food labels, standardized recipes, and basic work instructions.Skill in performing basic mathematical computations to multiply ingredients in a recipe or to determine how many servings a container will hold.Knowledge of the various tables of weights and measures and ability to follow instructions to convert from standard to metric measurements.Skill in operating, disassembling and cleaning basic food service equipment such as griddles, broilers, and food grinders.Knowledge of basic sanitation, infection and spoilage control procedures.Work experience in preparing foods and cooking simple foods and short orders in a cafeteria, restaurant, or mess.Demonstration of the following work behavior is desirable:Neatness and good grooming.Dependability.Ability to work under pressure."
We need to split into list items. Also note "Resumes must be two pages (or less)." and "Resumes should clearly demonstrate..." could be separate items.
**Education**:
"This job does not have an education qualification requirement."
**Benefits**:
From text: "Regular full-time and part-time employees are eligible for enrollment in health and life insurance, participation in 401k and retirement plans, and paid personal time off and federal holidays. NAF flexible employees, working in the United States or a U.S. citizen or spouse or child of a U.S. citizen working for a NAFI in a foreign area, are eligible to participate in the NAF 401(k) plan. Some flexible employees may also be eligible to receive health insurance. For a slideshow presentation regarding these benefits, please click the Review Our Benefits link below."
Also earlier: "Working for Army Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) can offer numerous advantages. Army NAF employment can provide a sense of pride and fulfillment, as you'll be supporting communities comprised of military and civilian personnel, and their families, which contributes to the Department of Defense's overall mission. We offer a wide range of career opportunities, including jobs in childcare, recreation, hospitality, and more. Many employees have opportunities for professional development, including training, education, and certification programs to help towards career advancement. As an Army NAF employee, you'll have access to some on-base facilities, including fitness centers, libraries, and many other amenities."
That's more promotional but could be considered benefits? It's generic. Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove boilerplate. The benefits specifics are health insurance, 401k, retirement, paid personal time off, federal holidays, NAF 401k, health insurance for flexible employees. Also mention of professional development, on-base facilities. Those could be considered benefits but maybe too generic. I'd keep the concrete benefits: health and life insurance, 401k and retirement plans, paid personal time off, federal holidays, NAF 401(k) plan, health insurance for flexible employees. Also maybe mention professional development and on-base facilities as benefits? Could be considered but might be fluff. I'd include them as they are specific offerings.
**Pay**:
