Investigator II
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to appropriate headings.
We have Duties Summary: that could be "Responsibilities". Also there is description of duties. So we can put Responsibilities
with paragraphs and maybe list.
We have Requirements Qualifications: that could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll have both maybe. The content includes basic qualification requirements, education/experience requirement. So we can put Requirements
and maybe Qualifications
but we should avoid thin sections. Could combine into one "Requirements" section containing both.
We also have location info etc. Could be "About the role" maybe. But we have no explicit "About the role". Could put location and agency description under "About the role". The posting includes description of FDA, HHS, etc. That could be "About the role". We'll include that.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none.
We must not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule unless stated. Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists.
In Duties Summary: there are sentences describing duties; we could turn them into a list? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If the content is not already a list, we could still format as paragraphs? It says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If it's not a list, we can use
. So we can keep paragraphs.
In Requirements: there is a list of education/experience options (bulleted with -OR-). That's a list; we should convert to
- . Also there is list of scientific fields; that's also a list. Also list of comparable experience definition maybe.
We need to preserve all info.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: description of position, mission, agency, location.
Responsibilities: duties summary paragraphs.
Requirements: basic qualification requirements description, education/experience requirement (with options), note about transcripts, etc.
Qualifications: maybe we can combine with Requirements; but we could have a separate "Qualifications" section for the list of scientific fields etc. However the instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section.
But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. That's three sections.
We must not create empty sections.
Now craft HTML.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include the legal citation, pay table, etc. That's in Duties Summary? Actually first paragraph: "This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority, Title 21 of the United States Code (21 US Code 379d-3a) as amended by the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016, section 3072 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Section 3624. The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment and be paid under the provisions of this authority. This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent)." This is substantive; we should include it maybe under About the role or Responsibilities? It's about appointment type and pay table. Could be part of About the role.
We'll put that in About the role paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: The duties summary paragraph after that: "The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment...". Actually that's already used. The duties summary includes: "The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment and be paid under the provisions of this authority." That's more about appointment. Then later: "This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent)." That's also about pay.
But the duties summary also includes: "The position investigates and/or inspects FDA-regulated industry globally and evaluates compliance..." etc. That's the core duties.
We'll separate: maybe first paragraph about appointment/pay goes to About the role. Then the rest of duties summary goes to Responsibilities.
