- . We must preserve all substantive information; we can split by the line breaks (each line starts with a capital verb). Let's extract duties lines:
From "Major duties include but are not limited to:" then each line:
- Developing - administering - evaluating - and advising on the Federal Government's internal equal employment opportunity program within the assigned organization
- Serving as the Equal Employment Manager with full responsibility for establishing - organizing - and directing an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program that provides services to a region

- Informs and advises management officials and employees on EEO program requirements

- Provides quality EEO products and services - advice and direction on issues related to the administration and management of an EEO program and the impact of organization policies - plans - practices and decisions
Note some lines start with lowercase (coordinate, allocating). We'll keep as is.
Now Qualifications section: includes time-in-grade requirement details and specialized experience description. We need to preserve all details. Could break into
paragraphs. Time-in-grade requirement: "Applicants who are current Federal employees and have held a GS grade any time in the past 52 weeks must also meet time-in-grade requirements by the closing date of this announcement. For a GS-12 position you must have served 52 weeks at the GS-11. The grade may have been in any occupation - but must have been held in the Federal service. An SF-50 that shows your time-in-grade eligibility must be submitted with your application materials. If the most recent SF-50 has an effective date within the past year - it may not clearly demonstrate you possess one-year time-in-grade - as required by the announcement. In this instance - you must provide an additional SF-50 that clearly demonstrates one-year time-in-grade. Note: Time-In-Grade requirements also apply to former Federal employees applying for reinstatement as well as current employees applying for Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA) appointment." Also earlier: "Qualifications To qualify for this position - applicants must meet all requirements by the closing date of this announcement - 09/23/2026." That's a date. Should we keep? It's substantive. So include that. Also "You may qualify based on your experience and/or education as described below:" then specialized experience bullet list. Specialized Experience: "You must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade GS-11 in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization. Examples of specialized experience would typically include:" then list: - Applies comprehensive knowledge of laws - regulations - executive orders - court decisions - and issues related to the Federal equal employment opportunity program and skill to interpret and apply this knowledge to a variety of difficult and complex work assignments. - Skilled in applying the operating principles - methods and techniques of the EEO Program to include fact-finding - analysis - counseling - complaint - and investigative processes - the roles of the EEO Committee. - Analyzes and recommends solutions to problems that adversely affect EEO - Reasonable Accommodation and the Prevention of Sexual Harassment. - Provides leadership and guidance to facility employees - managers - supervisors. - Serves as a trainer in the areas of EEO. - Communicates effectively both verbally and in writing - and brief management officials at the facility level. Also there is a link to OPM website. We need to preserve that link. Now Skills section: we could extract skills from specialized experience but maybe better to put skills as part of Qualifications? However we need a Skills section if we have specific content. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading, but we can create a Skills section from the specialized experience content that describes skills. That is acceptable as long as we don't invent. We'll take the bullet points under "Examples of specialized experience would typically include:" as skills. Thus Skills section will have those bullet points. Now Schedule section: includes Work Schedule: Monday - Friday - 8:00am to 4:30pm (Subject to change based on the needs of the facility.) Telework: This position may be authorized for telework Telework eligibility will be discussed during the interview process Subject to change based upon facility needs Virtual: This is not a virtual position Position Description/PD#: Equal Employment Manager/PD037260 Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized Critical Skills Incentive (CSI): Not Approved Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized We should include all that. Might be better to split into paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none. Now produce HTML fragment: use
for section headings. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
