Dietitian (Facility Program Coordinator)
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content.
From posting:

The Employee Whole Health Coordinator is responsible for developing - managing - planning - maintaining - and administering health and well-being opportunities for NWIHCS employees.
That's about the role.
Qualifications: Basic Requirements: United States Citizenship... etc. Also Grade Determinations: Dietitian (Facility Program Coordinator) - GS-12 Experience... Knowledge - Skills and Abilities... Physical Requirements... English Language Proficiency... etc.
Duties: Major duties include ... list.
Work Schedule: Monday - Friday - 8:00am - 4:30pm Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position.
No explicit Pay or Benefits mentioned. So we should not create Pay or Benefits sections.
We need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (qualifications?), maybe Qualifications (but we have both Requirements and Qualifications). The instruction says use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include those that have content.
We have content for About the role (summary). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (basic requirements, citizenship, etc). Qualifications (grade determinations, experience, KSAs). Skills maybe part of KSAs? Could combine but we have separate Skills heading if we have skill details. We have KSAs includes skill in delivering patient care etc. Could put under Skills. But we also have Knowledge - Skills and Abilities. Might be better to put under Qualifications. However we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We can decide to put Requirements for basic requirements (citizenship, credential). Qualifications for experience/grade/KSAs. Skills maybe not needed separately if covered. But we could still include Skills if we have skill details. The KSAs list includes skill in delivering patient care, interpreting research, developing goals, analyzing data, collaborating, complying, plus knowledge of program administration, skill in developing quality improvement, training materials, ability to develop policies, ability to provide program-specific coordination. Those are skills and abilities. Could put under Skills.
Schedule: we have work schedule Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm Telework Not Available Virtual: not a virtual position. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: none. Pay: none.
Thus output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.

- Physical Requirements: You will be asked to participate in a pre-employment examination or evaluation as part of the pre-employment process for this position
Questions about physical demands or environmental factors may be addressed at the time of evaluation or examination.
Note: Physical Requirements appears also in Requirements; but we have duplicate. We need to preserve all info; we can include both but maybe combine? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplicates are okay to keep; but we should not repeat same content unnecessarily? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate identical lines. The Physical Requirements appears twice with slightly different wording. First: "Physical RequirementsSee VA Directive and Handbook 5019 - Employee Occupational Health Service for requirements". Second: "Physical Requirements: You will be asked to participate in a pre-employment examination or evaluation as part of the pre-employment process for this positionQuestions about physical demands or environmental factors may be addressed at the time of evaluation or examination." They are not identical; both should be kept.
Skills: we could extract from KSAs and maybe from GS-11 skill list. But we already have those under Qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we put skill details under Skills section and keep Qualifications for grade/experience only. But we need to preserve all info; we can split.
Let's decide: Use Requirements for basic requirements (citizenship, credential, etc). Use Qualifications for grade determinations and experience (GS-12, GS-11). Use Skills for KSAs and skill lists. Use Schedule for work schedule.
Thus we need to ensure we don't lose any info.
Let's list all info categories:
Basic Requirements (citizenship, credential, note, exception, foreign ed, physical req (first), English language, grandfathering).
Grade Determinations: GS-12 experience (one year experience equivalent to next lower grade). GS-11 skill list (a-f). (These are skills but could be under Skills.)
Knowledge - Skills and Abilities (KSAs) (a-e). (These are also skills.)
Reference link.
Full performance level GS-12.
Actual grade GS-12.
Physical Requirements (second) about pre-employment exam.
Thus we can put:
Requirements section: basic requirements (citizenship, credential, note, exception, foreign ed, physical req (first), English language, grandfathering).
Qualifications section: grade determinations (GS-12 experience, GS-11 skill list) and reference link, full performance level, actual grade.
Skills section: KSAs (knowledge of program administration, skill in developing quality improvement, skill in developing training materials, ability to develop policies, ability to provide program-specific coordination). Also maybe include the GS-11 skill list? But that would duplicate. We could keep GS-11 skill list under Qualifications as part of experience. That's fine.
