FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ANALYST.
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting has "Duties" and "Requirements", "Qualifications". Also "Additional information" includes benefits etc but not specific. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. Duties: we have list of duties. Use Responsibilities
(or Duties). Probably "Responsibilities". Use - for each duty.
Requirements: includes Conditions of employment etc. That's a list of requirements. Use
Requirements
with .
Qualifications: includes specialized experience list and education etc. Use Qualifications
with for specialized experience items, and maybe for education paragraph.
We must not repeat job title. No Pay/Benefits/Schedule unless stated. There's mention of benefits generic but not specific; we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. So omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. The posting includes some generic statements like "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Additional information" includes many generic statements; we need to keep substantive info like "This position is covered by the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program." etc. But many are generic. We need to decide what to keep.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep everything that is not boilerplate/legal/EEO etc. The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we need to strip out things like "Additional vacancies may be filled by this announcement." That's maybe substantive? It's about the announcement. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. It's informational about the announcement. Might be considered part of the posting but not essential? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. I'd keep it if it's not boilerplate. However "Additional vacancies may be filled by this announcement." is generic but still part of the announcement. Might be considered substantive. Hard to know.
Better to keep sections that have clear content: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications. The "Additional information" includes many specifics like Priority Placement Program, relocation incentive, etc. Those are substantive. Should we create a section for "Additional Information"? Not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add a custom heading. We could fold into existing sections if appropriate. For example, "Additional information" includes details about Priority Placement Program, relocation incentive, etc. Could be considered part of "Qualifications" or "Requirements"? Not really. Could be part of "About the role". But we don't have About the role heading in the posting. We could create an
About the role
and put that info there. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role for general role info. That seems appropriate.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (contains additional info like Priority Placement Program, relocation incentive, etc), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements, Qualifications.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless stated. Not present.
