We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where content exists. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
From posting:
- Summary: description of position, mission, etc. Could be "About the role". Use
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
From posting:
- Summary: description of position, mission, etc. Could be "About the role". Use About the role
with paragraphs.
- Duties: list of duties. Use Responsibilities
with - .
- Requirements: includes Conditions of employment, etc. Could be "Requirements". Use
Requirements
with paragraphs and maybe list.
- Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements (list of competencies) and Qualifying Experience, Education, Additional information. Could be Qualifications
with paragraphs and lists.
- Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we have competencies like Attention to Detail, Customer Service, Oral Communication, Problem Solving. Could be placed under Skills section. However we should only create Skills if posting has real specific content for it. The posting lists those as Basic Requirements; they are skills/competencies. Could create Skills section with those items. But we already have Qualifications covering them. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Basic Requirements into Qualifications. No separate Skills needed.
- Benefits: posting mentions "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." and link. That's substantive enough for Benefits section. Use Benefits
with paragraph.
- Pay: posting mentions "If selected, the authorized rate of pay may exceed the stated maximum salary rate range under certain circumstances." That's some pay info, albeit vague. It's not a specific number but mentions pay may exceed stated maximum. Is that enough to create Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay, albeit vague. So we can include Pay section with that sentence.
- Schedule: no mention of schedule (telework availability based on mission requirements). That's somewhat schedule/telework. It mentions "Telework availability will be based upon the mission requirements and supervisory determination". That's schedule/telework info. Could create Schedule section with that sentence. However it's not explicit schedule like full-time/part-time. But it's about telework availability. Might be considered schedule info. The rule: only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It does state telework availability. So we can include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes many lines like "All applicants are encouraged to apply electronically..." that's application instruction; we should remove. Also "For more information on the Cyber Excepted Service Personnel System, click here." etc. Remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So keep the core description, duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule.
