Investigator II
for section headings. We must not repeat job title. We need to preserve substantive info. Remove boilerplate. The posting includes Duties Summary (which is basically description of duties). Also includes Requirements Qualifications (which includes basic qualification requirements, education/experience). Also includes some narrative about HHS, FDA, OII. We need to decide which sections to include: Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe combine with Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to see if there is content for About the role: maybe the Duties Summary can be considered About the role? But they said do NOT repeat job title as heading. We can have About the role as a heading with description of role. The Duties Summary is basically description of duties; we could put that under Responsibilities. Also there is a paragraph about HHS mission etc. Could be About the role. Let's parse.
Content:
- Duties Summary: description of position being filled under streamlined hiring authority, etc. Also mentions pay under Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent). That's pay info. So we have Pay info: "This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent)." That's specific pay info. So we should include a Pay section with that.
- Requirements Qualifications: includes basic qualification requirements, education/experience requirement. That's Qualifications and Requirements.
- Also there is narrative about HHS, FDA, OII. That could be About the role or Responsibilities? It's more about the organization and mission. Could be About the role.
- There's also mention of location: Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII), Office of Import Operations (OIO). That's location info; could be part of About the role.
- There's mention of "Become a part of the Department that touches the lives of every American..." etc. That's motivational.
- There's mention of "The Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII) is at the forefront..." etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay info.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could include description of role, mission, location, organization.
- Responsibilities: duties summary (the bullet-like paragraphs). Could be a - list? The duties summary is prose; we can keep as
but also could break into list items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties summary is not a list but prose; we can keep as
. However we could split into multiple
sentences.
- Requirements: maybe combine with Qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings possible. The posting has "Requirements Qualifications" heading. Could treat as Requirements section containing the basic qualification requirements and education/experience. Or we could split: Requirements (maybe the basic qualification requirements) and Qualifications (education/experience). But to avoid thin sections, we could combine into one Qualifications section. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. Possibly also Skills? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned.
Thus output:
About the role
... content ...
Responsibilities
... duties summary ...
Qualifications
... basic qualification requirements and education/experience ...
Pay
This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent).
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role content: The paragraphs after "Become a part of the Department that touches the lives of every American..." up to the description of OII. Also earlier mention: "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." That's also about the role (appointment type). Also location: "The position is located in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII), Office of Import Operations (OIO)." Also OII description.
Thus About the role can combine those.
Responsibilities: The Duties Summary paragraph: "This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority..." Wait that's also in duties summary? Actually the Duties Summary starts with "This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority..." That's overlapping with about the role. But we need to avoid duplication. The posting text: It begins with "Duties Summary 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)." Then after that: "Requirements Qualifications In order to qualify for the Investigator II position which falls under the 0696 occupational Series, you must meet the following requirements by 11:59 pm EST on 10/01/2026: Basic Qualification Requirements: ..." Then after that: "Become a part of the Department that touches the lives of every American..." etc.
Thus the Duties Summary includes the hiring authority, appointment type, pay info. But we already used pay info in Pay section. The hiring authority and appointment type could be part of About the role. To avoid duplication, we can split: About the role includes hiring authority, appointment type, location, mission. Responsibilities includes the rest of duties summary after that? Actually the duties summary only contains that hiring authority paragraph; there is no separate list of duties. The rest of the text after that is qualifications and then motivational/organizational description. So maybe there is no explicit duties list; the duties are implied in the qualification description. But we still need to output Responsibilities if there is content. The posting's "Duties Summary" is just that hiring authority paragraph. So we could treat that as Responsibilities? But it's more about the nature of appointment. However we can still put it under Responsibilities as a . But we also have About the role with location/mission. To avoid duplication, we could put the hiring authority paragraph under Responsibilities, and the location/mission under About the role. Pay separate.
Let's extract:

- The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment and be paid under the provisions of this authority.
