Enterprise Architect � Cloud & Technology Governance
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like years of experience numbers, etc. Must not summarize away detail; we need to keep them as is. However we can format as list items.
We need to be careful not to omit any detail. Let's extract:

We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include these details exactly as given, maybe in lists.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will have sections: About the role (includes position summary, location, agency). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe includes Required Skills & Experience). Qualifications (maybe includes Preferred Certifications). Skills (the table). Schedule (the hybrid schedule). Possibly also include Agency as part of About.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for job title.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers (none present). Good.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc (none). Good.
