for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to extract duties: list bullet points from "Duties" paragraph.
Original duties text:

Note typo "Establishe". We'll keep as is.
We'll make
- each.
Requirements: includes Conditions of employment list: many items. Also maybe "Conditions of employment" heading? We'll treat as list.
List items:
- Male applicants born after December 31, 1959, must complete a Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Requirement.

We'll put each as

Qualifications: includes "Who May Apply:" list of categories, then "In order to qualify..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. That's a lot. We'll need to list categories as
- . Also include basic requirement, specialized experience GS-13 and GS-14, education foreign education note, etc. Also "Additional information" paragraph about selection restrictions, salary includes locality pay, multiple positions may be filled, relocation tax allowance, etc. Also "Management may select at any of the grade levels announced..." etc. Also "This position requires a 1-year probationary period..." etc. Also "You may claim Military Spouse preference..." etc. Also "This position is not covered by a bargaining unit." Also "Reasonable Accommodation (RA) Requests:" paragraph. Also "Candidates should be committed..." paragraph about benefits.
We need to decide what to include as list vs prose. For categories "Who May Apply:" it's a list; we can make
- . For other paragraphs, we can use
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It mentions "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's some pay info but not specific numbers. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary includes locality pay; that is some pay info. However it's vague but still states something about pay. Should we include a Pay section? The rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's a statement about pay. So we could include a Pay section with that sentence. However also they mention relocation tax allowance etc. That's also pay/benefits. Might be better to include a Pay section with that sentence. But also they mention benefits package but not specifics; we should not include Benefits because no specifics. Pay section could be included.
Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
