IT Specialist.

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe "Responsibilities"? The posting says "Duties As An IT Specialist, You Will ..." So we can use

Responsibilities

and list duties as

• . Also Requirements: there are many sections: Conditions of employment, Key Requirements, Qualifications, Education, Additional information (but we need to filter boilerplate). We need to include only sections with real specific content. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Conditions of employment" maybe part of Requirements? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, maybe Education, Benefits? The posting mentions benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's vague, not specific. Should we include Benefits? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states "comprehensive benefits package" but not specific. Likely we should not include Benefits because it's not specific. Pay/Schedule not mentioned. So skip. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract duties: - Plan and coordinate projects that involve multiple stages in the systems development life cycle management process. - Define and concur in overall project requirements; plans and coordinates systems design, development, and implementation. - Oversee support of installed systems and services, and resolves a wide range of technical and management issues. - Apply new developments to previously unsolvable problems, and makes decisions or recommendations that significantly influence important IT policies or programs. - Ensure the integration of IT programs and services, and develops solutions to integration and interoperability issues. - Make decisions that involve major uncertainties with regard to the most effective approach or methodology to be applied, responding to changes typically resulting from continuing changes in customer business requirements and/or rapidly evolving technology. - Provide expert technical advice, guidance, and recommendations to management and other technical specialists on critical IT issues. We can list each as

  . Now Requirements: The posting includes "Conditions of employment", "Key Requirements", "Qualifications", "Education", "Additional information". We need to separate maybe Requirements (conditions of employment, key requirements) and Qualifications (basic requirement, specialized experience, education). The instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have:

  Requirements

  containing Conditions of employment and Key Requirements (maybe combined). Then

  Qualifications

  containing Basic Requirement, Specialized Experience Requirements, Education. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also we must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We need to remove boilerplate: "In accordance with Executive Order 14170, applicants are encouraged to respond to four short, free-response, essay questions in the questionnaire. Answer to these questions is not scored or rated. Your answers will be reviewed by the hiring manager and agency leadership if you are referred for selection consideration When you apply you will be asked a series of questions to determine your eligibility for employment and your qualification for this position specifically. You must answer all of these questions completely and truthfully." This seems like application instructions; we should remove. Also "Conditions of Employment: This position has been designated as requiring a PUBLIC TRUST background..." etc. That's substantive. Also "Positions located in Information Technology are required to be 24/7 on call. Response at any time of the day or night, seven days a week, may be required for emergency callout to address sudden failures or complex problems." That's substantive (schedule? but it's about on-call requirement). Could be part of Requirements. Also "BASIC REQUIREMENT: Experience must be IT related; ..." That's Qualifications. Also "SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS: A qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level [GS-12] in the Federal service." etc. Also "Education There are no specific education requirements or substitution of education for experience for this position." Also "Additional information This job opportunity announcement may be used to fill additional similar vacancies across DOE EEO Policy: Reasonable Accommodation Policy: ..." That's boilerplate (EEO, reasonable accommodation). Should be removed. Also "Veterans Information Veterans and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply." That's boilerplate. Also "Telework Selective Service Registration: Hiring incentives may be authorized..." That's maybe benefits? Not specific. Also "BPA strives to ensure a safe and positive work environment..." That's boilerplate. Also "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government..." That's maybe not specific. We need to preserve all substantive information, but remove boilerplate. So we need to decide what is substantive vs boilerplate. Substantive items: - Duties (list above) - Conditions of employment: public trust background, preliminary background check, current federal employees may not need another, positions located in IT required to be 24/7 on call, response any time for emergency callout. - Key Requirements: Must be US Citizen, participates in e-Verify, Males must abide by Selective Service registration requirements, will be required to report in person to the official duty location. - Qualifications: Basic requirement: IT-related experience demonstrating four competencies (Attention to Detail, Customer Service, Oral Communication, Problem Solving) with proficiency levels for GS-13 (Advanced) described. - Specialized Experience Requirements: at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to GS-12: designing and operating enterprise-level routed and switched networks across data center and WAN environments, routing protocols, network security, network architectures to maintain continuous availability and accessibility; implementing designs such as LANs, trunking, spanning tree protocols, link aggregation to deliver reliable connectivity to remote and field locations; providing technical guidance and troubleshooting for 24×7 operational support and optimized service delivery. Also note experience includes paid/unpaid, volunteer work examples. - Education: No specific education requirements or substitution of education for experience. We might also include "Skills" section? Not explicitly listed; the competencies could be considered skills. But we already have Qualifications covering competencies. Could create a Skills section for the four competencies? But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine competencies into Qualifications. We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless specific. The on-call requirement could be considered Schedule but it's not a schedule description; it's a requirement. Might be okay to include under Requirements. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML:

Examples of qualifying unpaid experience may include volunteer work done through National Service programs (such as Peace Corps and AmeriCorps); as well as work for other community‑based philanthropic and social organizations. 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: There are no specific education requirements or substitution of education for experience for this position.

  We must ensure no boilerplate like EEO, reasonable accommodation, veterans, telework, etc. We removed those. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The text "Additional information This job opportunity announcement may be used to fill additional similar vacancies across DOE EEO Policy: Reasonable Accommodation Policy:" we removed. Good.
