EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to extract content: Summary: "This position for The Defense Information Systems Agency is at Fort Meade, Maryland." That's location info. Could be part of About the role.
Duties: list of duties: "Serves as the primary advisor to the SES on all administrative matters, exercising delegated authority to manage and execute the administrative and business functions of the office. Serves as a GPC holder, executing purchases for services and supplies in strict compliance with federal regulations. Manages and maintains auditable procurement records. Proactively manages long-range calendars, deconflicts competing priorities, and ensures the SES is prepared for all engagements with read-ahead materials and background information. Manages the Agency's participation in the Financial Disclosure Management (FDM) system for the filing of OGE 450 Confidential Financial Disclosure Reports. Acts as the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or alternate COR for major administrative and technical support contracts."
We can put under Responsibilities.
Requirements: Conditions of employment: Must be a U.S. Citizen. This national security position... requires a favorable suitability review and security clearance... Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered or exempt from Selective Service.
Qualifications: Time in Grade, Specialized Experience, Competencies list, etc. Also Education: No substitution of education for specialized experience at GS-13.
Additional information: includes probationary period, telework, moving costs may be paid, recruitment incentives may be authorized, etc. Also mention benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic but we can include Benefits section? The instruction: only include Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does state that there is a comprehensive benefits package, but not specific details. It says "As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits..." That's still generic but it's stating benefits exist. Might be okay to include Benefits section with that prose. However we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's stating benefits exist. Could include.
Pay: Not mentioned. Schedule: Not mentioned. So we omit Pay and Schedule.
Skills: Could be derived from competencies list: Attention to Detail, Decision Making, Flexibility, Integrity/Honesty, Interpersonal Skills, Reading Comprehension, Reasoning, Self-Management, Teamwork. Those are competencies, could be Skills section.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many paragraphs about veterans' preference, ICTAP, etc. Those are likely boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "Read more about what you should include in your federal resume at USAJOBS." That's application instruction; remove. Also "All applicants are encouraged to apply electronically..." remove. Also "You may submit a cover letter..." remove. Also "For more information on veterans' preference click here." remove. Also "Interagency Career Transition Assistance Program..." remove. Also "This position is subject to the limitations imposed by the DOD Priority Placement Program." maybe borderline but it's additional info; could keep? It's about placement program; might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to vacancy. Safer to keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those; it's about placement program. Might keep but could be considered additional information. I'd keep it under Additional information maybe.
But we have limited sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Could also have Additional information but not a standard heading; we could incorporate into Qualifications or Requirements.
We need to decide headings: About the role (summary location). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (conditions of employment: citizenship, security clearance, selective service). Qualifications (time in grade, specialized experience, competencies, education). Skills (list competencies). Benefits (benefits package). Possibly also Additional information (probationary period, telework, moving costs, incentives). Could incorporate into Qualifications or Benefits? Better to have a separate section "Additional information" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map extra info into those. Probationary period, telework, moving costs, incentives could go under Benefits? Not exactly benefits. Could go under Qualifications? Not really. Could be part of Requirements? Not really. Maybe we can add a section "Additional information" but instruction says use those headings for section headings; but does not forbid other headings? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, but likely they expect only those. Safer to stick to those.
We can put probationary period etc. under Benefits as part of benefits package? Not accurate but maybe okay. Or we could put under Qualifications as "Additional qualifications". But better to create a section "Additional information" but risk non-compliance. I'd try to fit into existing sections: Benefits can include "A one year probationary or trial period may be required. Telework availability will be based upon mission requirements and supervisory determination. Moving costs MAY be paid. Recruitment, relocation, or retention incentives MAY be authorized." These are not benefits but conditions. However we can still place them under Benefits as they are part of employment terms. Might be acceptable.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections.

It's about rating criteria; maybe keep under Qualifications as additional note. But it's a bit generic. However it's specific to this vacancy. I'd keep.
