We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits maybe? The posting includes duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits (some mention of benefits package). Also includes schedule (evenings, nights, weekends rotating shift). Pay not specified. Benefits: mention of comprehensive benefits package, but not specific. According to rules: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Benefits: they say "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package... Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." That's vague, not specific. Should we include Benefits? Probably not, because no specific benefits listed. Schedule: they mention rotating shift evenings, nights, weekends to cover 24/7. That's specific schedule info. So include Schedule section. Pay: not specified, so omit. Requirements: includes conditions of employment, physical effort, working conditions, etc. That's specific. Qualifications: includes who may apply, experience, minimum qualifications, physical effort, working conditions, education, additional info. We'll need to separate Requirements and Qualifications as per headings. Duties: list of duties. 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. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract duties list: "Test distributions panels, power conditioners, motor start controls, transformers, interconnect boxes, and the gunfire simulators. Troubleshoot and repair the electronic malfunctions in target systems. Determine malfunctions of underground cables, electrical plugs, switches in towers, 240 volt AC equipment, and signal units. Use hand tools used in repairing the target devices. Troubleshoot and determine extent and cause of malfunctions. Determine the methods, techniques and procedures to use in completing electrical repairs." We can make each as

  • . Requirements: includes Conditions of employment (appointment may be subject to suitability/fitness determination, background investigation; pre-employment physical and annually thereafter; incumbent required to work evenings, nights and weekends on rotating shift to cover 24/7; must possess or be able to obtain/maintain valid state driver's license; must lift up to 70 lbs; term position scheduled to last 4 years, may be extended to max six years; term employment subject to one year trial period; employees serving trial period can be removed with limited appeal rights). Also maybe include "Physical Effort" and "Working Conditions" but those are under Qualifications? Actually they appear under Qualifications section as "PHYSICAL EFFORT:" and "WORKING CONDITIONS:" but they are part of Qualifications? In the posting they are under Qualifications heading? Actually after Minimum Qualifications (Screen Out Element): they list ability etc. Then PHYSICAL EFFORT: ... WORKING CONDITIONS: ... So these are part of Qualifications. However the instruction says we have sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide where to put physical effort and working conditions. They could go under Requirements (as they are conditions of employment) or Qualifications. The posting lumps them under Qualifications but they are more about job demands. We'll follow the posting: they are under Qualifications heading. So we will put them under Qualifications. Requirements section will contain the conditions of employment items: suitability/fitness determination, background investigation, pre-employment physical annually, rotating shift evenings/nights/weekends, driver's license, lift up to 70 lbs, term position 4 years (extendable to six), one year trial period, limited appeal rights. We also have "Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed background investigation." etc. We'll make a list. Qualifications: includes Who May Apply: US Citizens; Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work; you will receive credit for all qualifying experience; there is no specific length of training or experience required; however you must be able to demonstrate through experience shown in your written application materials that you possess sufficient knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully perform the work of this position without more than normal supervision. Minimum Qualifications (Screen Out Element): Ability to do the work of a(n) Electronics Mechanic ~ without more than normal supervision. Perform common electronics mechanic tasks. Determine maintenance needed on power control units associated with the Remote Target System (RETS); test and repair the electronic malfunctions in target systems; read blueprints and wiring diagrams for troubleshooting; and work under normal supervision of a work leader or journey-level employee who observes tasks in progress and upon completion to make sure they are properly performed. - Failure to meet this Screen out Element will result in an ineligible rating. Then PHYSICAL EFFORT: ... (list). WORKING CONDITIONS: ... (list). Education: This job does not have an education qualification requirement. Additional information: many details about term appointment, selective service, proof of citizenship, probationary period, direct deposit, selection restrictions, reemployed annuitant, logistics career field, multiple positions may be filled, salary includes locality pay, PCS allowances, recruitment and relocation incentives may be authorized, student loan repayment may be authorized, salary negotiations may be authorized, credit for prior non-federal work experience and certain military service for determining annual leave accrual rate may be authorized. Candidates should be committed to improving efficiency... A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package... Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered. We need to decide what to include in Qualifications section. The instructions: "Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose." So for qualifications we have prose paragraphs and maybe lists (like physical effort, working conditions). We'll treat physical effort and working conditions as lists. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. The "Additional information" includes many items that are not boilerplate but are specifics about term appointment, selective service, probationary period, direct deposit, etc. Those are substantive. We should include them. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule is stated (evenings, nights, weekends rotating shift). So we need a Schedule section. Pay not stated, omit. Benefits: they mention comprehensive benefits package but not specific; we should not create Benefits section because it's not specific. However they also mention "Direct Deposit of Pay is required." That's not a benefit. So we skip Benefits. Thus sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule. Now produce HTML fragment.

      Physical Effort

      ??? But we only allowed
