We need to produce HTML fragment with sections only where there is real content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
The posting includes "Duties" (list of tasks). That's responsibilities. So we can have
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
The posting includes "Duties" (list of tasks). That's responsibilities. So we can have Responsibilities
with - each duty.
Then "Requirements" includes Conditions of employment list. Also includes "Requirements Conditions of employment" heading. So we can have
Requirements
with list.
Then "Qualifications" includes Who May Apply etc. Also Minimum Qualifications (Screen Out Element) etc. Also PHYSICAL EFFORT, WORKING CONDITIONS. Those could be part of Qualifications or maybe separate sections like Skills? But we only have headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put qualifications content under Qualifications
. Skills maybe not present; we can omit if no specific skills list. Benefits: there is mention of benefits package but no specifics; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." but no specific benefits listed. That's vague; we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: not specified. Schedule: not specified. About the role: maybe we can include a brief summary? The posting didn't have an "About the role" section explicitly, but we could create one from the duties? However instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The posting does not have an explicit "About the role" paragraph. We could omit About the role. But we need to output something; we could start with Responsibilities heading. That's fine.
Thus output:
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
- ...
...
Qualifications
... (prose)
maybe also list for Minimum Qualifications etc. Could use for the bullet points under Minimum Qualifications.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to strip cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The text includes many boilerplate like "Additional information Male applicants born after December 31, 1959, must complete a Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration." That's not EEO but maybe still considered additional info; but it's substantive? It's a requirement. Should we keep? It's part of requirements. It's not boilerplate; it's a specific requirement. So keep.
Also "You will be required to provide proof of U.S. Citizenship." Keep.
"This position requires a 1 year probationary period..." Keep.
"Direct Deposit of Pay is required." Keep.
"Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees." Keep.
"If you have retired from federal service..." Keep.
"Multiple positions may be filled from this announcement." Keep.
"When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government..." Keep.
"Advanced-in-Hire, Enhanced Leave Accrual, Student Loan Repayment, and/or Recruitment/Relocation incentive MAY be authorized if determined to be in the best interest of the government." Keep.
"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.
"A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." This is vague; we might not include as Benefits section because no specifics. But we could include as a paragraph under Qualifications? It's more about benefits. Since we cannot create Benefits section without specifics, we could omit that sentence entirely? But instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit that sentence, we lose substantive info. However we cannot create a Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. But we could include that sentence as a paragraph under Qualifications or maybe under a generic section? The allowed headings are limited; we could put it under Qualifications as a paragraph, as it's still relevant to qualifications/benefits. That would preserve info.
Similarly, "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." That's also benefits info; we could keep as paragraph.
Thus we will include that info under Qualifications.
Now we need to format.
