We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines and application instructions. We need to parse the given posting. Let's extract content: Summary: "See below for important information regarding this job." Not substantive. Duties: The long paragraph describing duties. Let's extract bullet-like sentences. Duties content: - Serves as the senior specialist, expert advisor, program manager and trainer for the employee benefits programs for the organization serviced. - Provides advisory services on complex issues to benefits team personnel, management and employees for agency benefits programs to include retirement plans, survivor benefits, health benefits, life insurance, the Thrift Savings Plan, and supplemental/3rd party benefits programs. - Administers the full range of agency benefits programs to assigned activities. - Serves as a benefits senior specialist and expert advisor with responsibility for developing, conducting, and monitoring benefits training for other specialists and trainees. - Provides technical advice to staff in the administering of the full range of federal employee benefits, i.e. Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), Federal Employee's Health Benefits (FEHB), Federal Employee's Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), Federal Employees Dental/Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP), Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS) and Federal Erroneous Retirement Coverage Corrections Act (FERCCA) etc. - Performs quality reviews of benefits transactions and retirement applications processed by other specialists and provides feedback. - Current vacancy is being filled under DOF, announcement may be used to fill similar vacancies within DO. (maybe metadata, but could be considered minor; we could drop or put in short p.) Requirements (Conditions of employment): list: - Must be a U.S. citizen - Tour of Duty: Flexible - Security Requirements: Non-Critical Sensitive / No Access - Appointment is subject to the completion of a favorable suitability or fitness determination, where reciprocity cannot be applied; unfavorably adjudicated background checks will be grounds for removal. - Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Exempt - Selective Service Requirement: Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered or exempt from Selective Service. - Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized - Bargaining Unit Status: No - Selectees are required to have a REAL ID or other acceptable identification documents to access certain federal facilities. See https://www.tsa.gov/real-id for more information. Qualifications: To qualify for a Human Resources Specialist (Employee Benefits), your resume and supporting documentation must support: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to successfully perform the duties of the position and is directly in or related to this position. To qualify at the GS-12 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including time-in-grade (General Schedule (GS) positions only), time-after-competitive appointment, minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Creditable specialized experience includes: Administering the full range of advisory services for the full range of benefits programs to include retirement plans, survivor benefits, health benefits, life insurance, the Thrift Savings Plan, and supplemental/3rd party benefits programs; Conducting research and training on complex issues and new legislation regarding the benefits programs; Providing guidance to other specialists regarding benefits procedures; Performing quality reviews on benefits transactions or paperwork. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Education Substitution of education may not be used in lieu of specialized experience for this grade level. Additional information: many paragraphs about Section 508, Reemployed Annuitants, Veterans, Drug-Free Workplace Policy, etc. Many of these are boilerplate/legal. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Additional information" includes many legal statements: Section 508, Reemployed Annuitants, Veterans, Drug-Free Workplace Policy, etc. These might be considered boilerplate/legal. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop those sections. However, we need to preserve ALL substantive information; but legal info may be considered boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove legal boilerplate like Drug-Free Workplace Policy, Section 508, Reemployed Annuitants, Veterans info, etc. Also the "Additional guidance on writing a federal resume" etc is likely boilerplate. Also "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency..." maybe also boilerplate? Might be considered generic. But we need to keep substantive info about duties, requirements, qualifications. Possibly also "Benefits" section: there is a paragraph about federal benefits at the end: "Help A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's generic benefits description; but it's not specific to the posting (like health insurance, retirement). It's generic boilerplate. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD') and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The benefits paragraph is generic but still mentions benefits package. However it's not specific to the job; it's generic federal benefits. Might be considered filler. Safer to not include Benefits section because no specific benefits are listed (like health, retirement). The posting does mention benefits programs in duties, but not as a benefits section for the job. So we should not create a Benefits section. Pay and Schedule: Not mentioned specifically. So omit. Thus we will have sections: About the role (maybe we can use "About the role" as heading for summary/duties? Actually we have Duties content; we could put that under Responsibilities. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to pick appropriate headings. We have Duties -> Responsibilities. We have Requirements -> Requirements. We have Qualifications -> Qualifications. We might also have an "About the role" summarizing the role (maybe from summary/duties). But we already have Responsibilities covering duties. Could also include a short "About the role" paragraph summarizing the role (maybe from the first sentence). But we must not repeat job title. We can include a brief paragraph under About the role describing the role (senior specialist, expert advisor, program manager and trainer). However that is already covered in duties. To avoid duplication, we could put About the role as a short paragraph summarizing the role, and Responsibilities as a list of duties. But we must preserve all substantive info; not duplicate unnecessarily but it's okay if we repeat? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but we should avoid unnecessary duplication? Not explicitly forbidden. However better to not duplicate. We can put About the role as a brief overview (maybe from the summary) and Responsibilities as detailed list. But the summary is just "See below for important information regarding this job." Not substantive. So we could skip About the role and just have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. That's three sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus:

    Responsibilities

    • Current vacancy is being filled under DOF, announcement may be used to fill similar vacancies within DO.
    But the last item maybe metadata; but it's substantive? It's about vacancy filling; could be considered minor metadata but still part of posting. Might keep. Now Requirements:
