We must not include sections like "About the role" if we have no content? We have brief job description. Check for any duplicated lines: we removed boilerplate. Make sure not to include Job ID, Posting Number, Closing Date, etc. We should not include "Occupational Category" etc unless we put in Requirements? Not needed. We must preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? Let's review. - Agency name: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) – we could include in About the role. - Department: DR4798 Administrative ONA – maybe not essential but could be included in About the role. - Location: Austin, TX, address 4616 W HOWARD LN BLDG 8 – we could include in About the role or maybe not needed but it's substantive. Could add to About the role. - Temporary position up to one year (potentially longer) depending on disaster response need – include in About the role or Responsibilities? Could add to About the role. - Eligible for full State of Texas benefits – included in Benefits. - Must pass FEMA background check, U.S. citizenship required – included in Requirements. - Must sign Temporary Employment Agreement – included in Requirements. - Work beyond normal hours, holidays, weekends – included in Schedule. - During high-volume disaster response schedule extends to six days a week with 10-hour shifts between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM – included. - Additional overtime may be available – included. - Telework eligible after 30-day probation – included. - Travel up to 10% – included. - Salary range and pay frequency – included. - Benefits list – included. - Essential Job Functions with percentages – we included as responsibilities. - Knowledge, Skills, Abilities – we split into Qualifications (knowledge) and Skills (skill in). Ability to conduct interviews etc maybe also in Skills or Qualifications. We included ability to conduct interviews etc in Skills? Actually we listed interviewing techniques under Skills. Ability to evaluate findings and prepare reports, listen, elicit, evaluate information, interpret terms, resolve conflicting statements, navigate NEMIS, establish priorities, manage time, complete work within timeframes, conduct investigations and interpret/apply laws and regulations – these are abilities. Could add to Qualifications or a separate Abilities section but we only have allowed sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put abilities under Qualifications or Skills. Let's put them under Qualifications as they are more like abilities. Thus Qualifications paragraph should include knowledge and abilities. Let's rewrite Qualifications:

Knowledge of federal and state disaster assistance programs, investigative practices, court procedures, and rules of evidence; ability to conduct interviews and gather facts, evaluate findings and prepare clear concise reports, listen, elicit and evaluate information, interpret terms, resolve conflicting statements, navigate and interpret NEMIS, establish priorities, set goals, manage time efficiently, complete work within required timeframes, conduct investigations, and interpret and apply laws
