We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Education, Additional information? The posting includes Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Education, Additional information. Also maybe Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present. So we include only sections with real content. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS" etc. Also remove "For more information visit ..."? Those are boilerplate. Also remove "Moving expenses will be paid."? That's a benefit? It's a specific benefit; maybe we can keep under Benefits? But we only create Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does state moving expenses will be paid. Also mentions Tax Cuts and Jobs Act etc. That's about relocation tax. Also mentions Telework availability limited. Also mentions Probation period. Also mentions Travel requirement occasional. Also mentions Not covered by bargaining unit. Also mentions Pay for first time hires set at step 1 salary range. Also mentions Retired Civil Service Employee etc. Also mentions Security designation varies. Also mentions Criminal History Inquiries. Also mentions "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic; maybe we can keep but it's boilerplate? Might be considered generic benefits description. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine some of these into a Benefits section if there is substantive content. However moving expenses paid, telework limited, probation, travel occasional, not covered by bargaining unit, pay step 1, etc. Those are specifics. Could be considered Benefits? Actually they are more like employment conditions. Could be under Additional information. The posting already has an "Additional information" section that includes many of these items. So we should keep that as a section. Thus sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Education, Additional information. We need to format Duties as list? The duties are sentences separated by periods. Could be list items. Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we will convert each duty sentence into a
    • . Similarly Requirements: list items. Qualifications: list items? The qualifications include basic requirement competencies and specialized experience. Could be list. Education: maybe a paragraph. Additional information: could be list or paragraphs. We must not repeat the job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to copy the text exactly? Not necessarily exact but preserve meaning. We'll try to keep the content. Let's extract Duties: - Provide System Administration for a large-scale mainframe payroll system, ensuring stability and performance. - Serves as a technician of several specialized IBM mainframe software packages, including Computer Associates (CA) View, Strobe, AbendAid, Access Control Facility (ACF2), and CA-1 Tape Management System (TMS). - Maintain, test, and debug the IBM z/OS mainframe operating system software. - Provide on call support to nightly batch mainframe processing cycles for a payroll system. - Analyze system problems (abends) and issue system recovery and/or restart Job Control Language (JCL) as warranted by the situation. - Maintain system documentation to improve and maintain the system's audit posture for large scale mainframe payroll system.

To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, visit e-verify.gov. We might keep the link? Probably we can keep the sentence but maybe drop the URL as it's boilerplate? It's specific info. Might keep but it's a link. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The E-Verify sentence is not exactly boilerplate but it's a reference. Might keep but maybe we can keep the sentence without the URL? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the sentence including the reference to e-verify.gov. It's not a navigation link; it's info. We'll keep.

Additional information (the rest): - This Job Opportunity Announcement is using an additional online assessment tool to evaluate applicants. Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS sections below for instructions. (But we are told to remove application instructions. This sentence refers to those sections; it's basically boilerplate. Should we remove? It's part of the "Additional information" block but it's about how to apply. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that sentence. - Additional information block includes: "This job announcement uses the USA Hire Assessment to evaluate applicants. For more information, visit" (boilerplate). Remove. - "For Reasonable Accommodation Requests, see the How You Will Be Evaluated section." Remove. - "Moving expenses will be paid." Keep. - "The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 makes certain reimbursements/payments taxable. For information on these changes and the Relocation Income Tax Allowance (RITA), for which some appointees are eligible, click" Remove link? Might be boilerplate. Probably remove. - "For positions where relocation is paid (see Location block of vacancy announcement), you can learn more about Telework availability is limited and will only be provided on a rare case-by-case basis during situations where Agency Leadership has determined that telework serves a compelling DoD need." Keep the substance: Telework availability limited, rare case-by-case basis when Agency Leadership determines telework serves compelling DoD need. - "We may use this announcement to make a temporary promotion. For some positions, the temporary promotion may be made permanent without further competition." Keep. - "Selections are subject to restrictions resulting from the DoD Program for Stability of Civilian Employment." Keep. - "As a condition of employment, you may be required to serve a 1 Year Probation during which we'll evaluate if continued employment advances the public interest. The evaluation considers: performance & conduct; needs & interests of the agency; if continued employment advances agency goals; if continued employment advances the efficiency of the Federal service. At the end of the probationary period, employment will be terminated unless you receive certification that continued employment advances public interest." Keep. - "We may use this announcement to fill additional vacancies within 120 days of the closing date." Keep. - "This position is Exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act." Keep. - "Travel requirement is occasional." Keep. - "This position is not covered by a bargaining unit." Keep. - "Pay for first time hires to the Federal Government will typically be set at step 1 salary range for their respective grade level." Keep. - "Retired Civil Service Employee: Employment of retired Federal employees receiving an annuity is subject to the requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD) policy guidance. (See DoD Instruction 1400.25, Volume 300, Security Designation varies dependent upon position and may require a secret clearance or higher. Employment requires a background investigation which may delay starting date. If selected and cannot obtain a favorable security determination within a reasonable period of time, the employment offer may be withdrawn. Individuals are required to obtain/maintain a favorable security determination to occupy a sensitive position as a condition of employment. Failure to maintain eligibility to occupy a sensitive position may result in termination. For more information see the security section of Understanding Vacancy Announcements." Keep substance but maybe trim the parenthetical reference? Keep. - "Criminal History Inquiries- For some positions, criminal history inquiries may not take place before you receive a conditional job offer. Please see" Remove link? Keep sentence up to "Please see". Might be boilerplate. Might drop. - "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution." Keep? It's a value statement; maybe keep as part of Additional information. - "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." This is generic benefits description; maybe we can keep but it's boilerplate. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. This is generic; maybe we can drop as it's not specific. However we already have Benefits? Not present. Could combine into Benefits section? But it's generic. Might drop. We need to ensure we don't include application instructions or boilerplate like "Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS sections below for instructions." So we will omit that. Also remove "For more information, visit" etc. Now we need to output HTML fragment. Structure:
