IT SPECIALIST (PLCYPLN)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly.
We have:
- Summary: description of position, mission, etc. Could be "About the role". Use About the role
then
with summary content. - Duties: list of duties. Use
Responsibilities
then- items.
- Requirements: Conditions of employment etc. Could be "Requirements". Use
Requirements
then- .
- Qualifications: Basic Requirements and Qualifying Experience etc. Use
Qualifications
then maybe sublists? But we can just list items. - Benefits: mention benefits package. UseBenefits
then. - Pay: Not stated explicitly; there is mention "If selected, the authorized rate of pay may exceed the stated maximum salary rate range under certain circumstances." No specific pay range. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated (they mention benefits package). Pay is not specific; just a vague statement. Should we include Pay? Probably not, because no concrete pay info. Schedule: not stated. So omit. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from qualifications but better not create unless explicit. So skip. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some like "All applicants are encouraged to apply electronically..." that's application instructions; we should remove. Also "For more information on the Cyber Excepted Service Personnel System, click here." etc. Remove. We need to keep substantive: summary, duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits. Let's extract. Summary text: "This position is being recruited under 10 USC 1599f into the Cyber Excepted Service and does NOT convey eligibility to be converted to the Competitive Service. It has been identified as a position necessary to carry out and support the mission of the US Cyber Command. It is in the Professional Work Category at the Senior Work Level within the CES Occupational Structure. It is located in the DISA - HC/Server LOB." We can keep that. Duties: "Serve as a Requirements Request Assessment Lead or Integrated Product Team Lead for DISA.The incumbent provides leadership ensuring requirements request projects are consistent with the DISA strategic plans and solutions architecture.Incumbent uses IT principles/methods to identify gaps and overlaps among the existing IT services and investigates opportunities to meet the requirements for unique services via combined solutions that reduce life cycle costs for DISA IT investments.Coordinates with project stakeholders and complies with policies to ensure strategic objectives, policies, and plans are met." We can split into bullet points. Requirements (Conditions of employment): "Must be a U.S. Citizen.Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered or exempt from Selective Service.This national security position, which may require access to classified information, requires a favorable suitability review and security clearance as a condition of employment. Failure to maintain security eligibility may result in termination.In accordance with the DoD 8140 policy series, the position is subject to completing Foundational Qualifications in 9 months and completing Residential Qualification requirements overall in 12 months." We can bullet. Qualifications: Basic Requirements list: Attention to Detail, Customer Service, Oral Communication, Problem Solving. Then Qualifying Experience: at least one year experience demonstrating competencies: assessing IT lifecycle management programs; developing strategic plans and policy and standards for application in an organization; applying project management principles to increase effectiveness of IT programs; provide recommendations to increase efficiency of IT programs. Also volunteer experience note. Education: "There is no substitution of education for the qualifying experience at the GG-13 grade level." Additional information: includes Excepted Service, trial period, telework, etc. Might be considered part of Requirements or Additional info. Could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate section "Additional information". But we only have headings list; we could add "Additional information" as
Additional information
if we want, but not in prescribed list. The instruction says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use
for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings. Additional information may be folded into Requirements or Qualifications. We can incorporate relevant points into Requirements (like trial period, telework) or Qualifications. But we must preserve all substantive info. Let's see if we can incorporate. Additional information includes: "This position is in the Excepted Service and does NOT convey eligibility to be converted to the Competitive Service. It is being recruited under 10 U.S.C. 1599f into the Cyber Excepted Service (CES) personnel system. If you are a current Federal Career/Career-Conditional employee, you will be placed on an Excepted appointment.This appointment does not confer eligibility to be non-competitively converted to an appointment in the competitive service.A three year trial period may be required if you have not previously completed a trial or probationary period in the excepted or competitive service.Telework availability will be based upon the mission requirements and supervisory determinationWe may use this announcement to fill additional vacancies within 90 days of the closing date.This position is covered under DoD Manual 8140 which will be subject to future Cyber Workforce requirements as defined by the Manual.PPP Application Based Preference Eligibles (Military Reserve and National Guard technicians, Military Reserve and National Guard technicians receiving disability retirement, and Retained Grade employees) will receive priority consideration at the full performance level only.Because this position is in the Cyber Excepted Service, Veterans' Preference will be applied to preference eligible candidates, as defined by Section 2108 of the Title 5 U.S.C. in accordance with the procedures provided in DoD Instruction 1400.25, Volume 3005, "CES Employment and Placement."

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." We need to keep substantive info: Excepted Service nature, trial period, telework, veterans' preference, etc. The "click here" links are boilerplate; we can drop them. The application instruction lines (contact number, apply electronically) should be removed. The statement about pay exceeding max salary range is vague but maybe we can include in Pay section? It's not a specific range but mentions pay may exceed. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (authorized rate may exceed). That's still about pay. Could we include a Pay section with that statement? It's not a specific range but it's still pay info. Might be acceptable to include Pay section with that statement. However the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay, albeit vague. So we could include a Pay section with that statement. But we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This statement is not filler; it's specific: "If selected, the authorized rate of pay may exceed the stated maximum salary rate range under certain circumstances." That's substantive. So we can include Pay. Benefits: we have a paragraph about benefits package. So include Benefits. Schedule: not stated; omit. Skills: not explicit; maybe we can omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write:
