Information Technology$80k–$120k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings as appropriate: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove duplicated content (the posting appears duplicated). Must keep substantive info: description, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay (salary range). Also schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; maybe travel, in-office presence, extended hours, travel regularly. That could be schedule? The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. There's mention of travel, in-office presence, extended hours when necessary. That's about schedule but not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". Might be considered schedule info? Probably we can include a Schedule section with travel and extended hours. However we must not create placeholder text. We have actual content: "This position will include travel for on-site collection efforts as well as an in-office presence at the primary firm office which includes the forensics lab and data center." and "Ability to work extended hours when necessary to ensure client deadlines are met" and "Must be willing to travel regularly on short notice". That's schedule-related. So we can include a Schedule section with those points as list. Benefits: they list Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, 401k, Flexible Spending Account (Health, Dependent Care, Commuter), Paid Time Off and Observance of State/Federal Holidays. That's specific. Pay: "#CJ$80,000 - $120,000 a year". That's specific. We need sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications?). But we have Qualifications section separate. Skills And Attributes For Success is like Skills. Also there is "Ideally, You Will Also Have:" which could be additional qualifications/skills. We'll need to decide how to split. We must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Responsibilities and Skills into one? But we have headings defined; we can use multiple if they have content. We need to avoid duplication: The posting appears twice; we need to deduplicate. Let's extract substantive content: - About the role: "Digital Forensic Analyst Employment Type: Full-Time, Mid-Level Department: Forensics CGS is seeking a Digital Forensic Analyst whose primary focus will be on the preservation & collection of mobile device and cloud-stored data. This candidate should be fluent in a broad range of forensic technologies and interested in taking on a primary role in a quickly expanding forensics department.

To carry out our mission, we are seeking candidates who are excited to contribute to government innovation, appreciate collaboration, and can anticipate the needs of others. Here at CGS, we offer an environment in which our employees feel supported, and we encourage professional growth through various learning opportunities." That's a good About the role paragraph. - Responsibilities: list from "Skills And Attributes For Success:" Actually those are responsibilities/skills. Let's list them as duties: * Perform forensic data collection and basic forensic analysis in both on-site and remote capacity * Coordinate directly with legal teams/client IT departments to understand project scope * Maintain forensic tool set by staying current on version updates and new options in the market * Work closely with project management and other team members on completing complex projects in a fast pace, deadline-driven environment * Assist in developing, documenting, and refining procedures to accomplish discovery process requirements * Manage all chain of custody best practices associated with the rules of evidence * Consistently adhere to standard operating procedures * Perform quality checks on work products prior to delivering to the client * Complete additional duties assigned by the manager including general IT functions That's responsibilities. - Qualifications: list from "Qualifications:" section: * Minimum of an undergraduate degree, preferably in Digital Forensic Science or Computer Science/Engineering * 1+ years of relevant experience in where the analyst understands the forensic lifecycle and can properly perform scoping activities, evidence acquisitions on a range of devices, and execute forensic analysis at an intermediate level * Experience using industry standard forensic tools such as: EnCase Cellebrite Oxygen FTK Imager MacQuisition X1 Social Discovery Logicube Falcon * General understanding of Mac/Windows filesystems, mobile devices, and encryption * Experience preserving desktops, laptops, mobile devices/tablets, servers, both cloud and on-premise email implementations, nontraditional cloud data sources, social media, etc. in a forensically sound manner * Ability to communicate effectively and tactfully in both verbally and in written format to team members and technical/non-technical clients * Ability to work extended hours when necessary to ensure client deadlines are met * Ability to demonstrate superior organizational skills with acute attention to detail * Must be willing to travel regularly on short notice; must have a valid passport for occasional international travel * Must be an energetic self-starter who can work within a team environment but also independently as the situation requires * Ability to document forensic workflows based on sound industry practice * Willingness to develop/train other team members to increase the group’s overall knowledge base as well as cultivate secondary resources to assist in larger collection events * Strong troubleshooting skills coupled with the ability to solve on the fly to solve complex problems - Skills (maybe "Ideally, You Will Also Have:"): list: * Understanding of the electronic discovery reference model (EDRM) * Possess at least one industry-standard certification (EnCE, CCE, CCFE, GCFE, GCFA, CCO, CCPA, CCME, etc.) * General knowledge of litigation support applications (e.g. Relativity, Concordance, Nuix, LAW PreDiscovery, etc.) * Experience working with structured data exported from various platforms including analysis, custom scripting, and data manipulation to develop reports for client use * Understanding of (Robo/Rich) copy tools, BAT (PowerShell) scripting, and Active Directory * Experience with scripting, programming/coding, and database languages (SQL, VB, HTML, Access) We could treat these as Skills section. - Benefits: list: * Health, Dental, and Vision * Life Insurance * 401k * Flexible Spending Account (Health, Dependent Care, and Commuter) * Paid Time Off and Observance of State/Federal Holidays - Pay: "$80,000 - $120,000 a year" (the "#CJ" maybe a tag; we keep the numbers). - Schedule: we have travel, in-office presence, extended hours. Could list: * Travel for on-site collection efforts * In-office presence at primary firm office (forensics lab and data center) * Willingness to travel regularly on short notice; valid passport for occasional international travel * Ability to work extended hours when necessary to meet client deadlines We must not include boilerplate like EEO, contact info, application instructions, job board links, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

for each section. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose (About the role maybe). Ensure no empty sections. Let's craft:

    About the role

    ... paragraph ...

    Responsibilities

      ...

    Qualifications

      ...

    Skills

      ...

    Benefits

      ...

    Pay

    $80,000 - $120,000 a year

    Schedule

      ...
    Check that we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Good. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The description about lean-team approach, employee-centric culture, etc. included in About the role. Good. We also have "Our Commitment:" paragraph about CGS mission etc. That's also substantive but maybe could be part of About the role or separate? It's about company commitment. Could be included in About the role as additional paragraph. But we already have a paragraph; we could add another

    after the first about commitment. However the rule: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding another paragraph under About the role is fine; it's still same section. So we can add another

    within About the role. Let's incorporate: "Contact Government Services (CGS) strives to simplify and enhance government bureaucracy through the optimization of human, technical, and financial resources. We combine cutting-edge technology with world-class personnel to deliver customized solutions that fit our client’s specific needs. We are committed to solving the most challenging and dynamic problems. For the past seven years, we’ve been growing our government-contracting portfolio, and along the way, we’ve created valuable partnerships by demonstrating a commitment to honesty, professionalism, and quality work. Here at CGS we value honesty through hard work and self-awareness, professionalism in all we do, and to deliver the best quality to our consumers mending those relations for years to come. We care about our employees. Therefore, we offer a comprehensive benefits package." Actually benefits already separate; but the commitment paragraph includes benefits mention; we could keep it as part of About the role but we already have Benefits section; we might avoid duplication. The commitment paragraph includes benefits mention but we already list benefits; we could keep the commitment paragraph without benefits sentence. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit the benefits mention if it's part of commitment. But we have a separate Benefits section that lists them; we could keep the commitment paragraph as is, but then benefits would be duplicated. To avoid duplication, we could keep the commitment paragraph but remove the benefits sentence from it, but that would be omitting substantive info (the sentence about benefits). However the benefits are already listed elsewhere; the sentence is just a summary; we could keep it but risk duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited explicitly, but earlier they said "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines refer to repeated identical lines; but the benefits sentence is not identical to the list; it's a summary. It's okay to keep it; but we might consider it redundant but not prohibited. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both a paragraph summarizing benefits and a list may be thin but still okay. To be safe, we could keep the commitment paragraph as is, and keep Benefits list; it's not duplicated lines exactly. It's fine. Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first about role and mission, second about commitment. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Contact Government Services, LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Remove that. Also remove "Join our team and become part of government innovation!
