We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Organizational Location: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol, Blaine Sector: Bellingham Station in Ferndale, WA Law Enforcement Operational Programs in Bellingham, WA. Additional selections may be made for other organizational divisions and/or units within the duty location(s) listed above. - Duties: This announcement will be open for 5 business days OR until the first 75 applications have been received, whichever happens first. In this position, you will provide clerical, administrative, and mission support assistance for U.S. Border Patrol sector or station operations, including support for personnel/payroll, budget, travel, workers' compensation, logistics, records, reporting, and customer service functions. Your work directly supports CBP and USBP mission operations by helping ensure accurate, reliable, and timely administrative support for day-to-day sector and agency functions. - Salary: This position starts at a salary of $51,037.00 (GS-6, Step 1) to $73,731.00 (GS-7, Step 10) with promotion potential to $73,731.00 (GS-7, Step 10).

Typical duties will include: (list). So responsibilities. - Requirements: bullet list: Must be US Citizen; Males born after 12/31/1959 must be registered with Selective Service; Primary U.S. residency for at least three of the last five years; All pre-employment processes will be conducted in English; May be required to pass a background investigation; CBP follows the DHS Drug-Free Workplace Plan for drug testing procedures; CBP employees demonstrate highest level of commitment... (core values). Also mention ethics, E-Verify, Bargaining Unit: This is a bargaining unit covered position, represented under the National Border Patrol Council - NBPC. - Qualifications: Experience for GS-06 and GS-07. Also note about volunteer experience, time in grade, political appointee disclosure, background investigation details, residency requirement, probationary period, CTAP/ICTAP eligibility, education (see Qualifications and Required Documents), additional information (promotion potential not guaranteed, reasonable accommodation, etc.) - Skills: Not explicitly listed but implied in duties and qualifications. Could we create a Skills section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. There's no explicit "Skills" heading, but we could infer skills from duties and qualifications. However we should not invent. Better to omit Skills if no explicit content. The posting does not have a separate Skills section. So we should not create Skills. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of bargaining unit, maybe benefits implied but not explicit. No benefits details. So omit Benefits. - Pay: We have salary info. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. Omit. - About the role: Could be summary/organizational location and duties overview. We can put that under About the role (or Responsibilities). The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role (organizational location, mission). We have Responsibilities (duties). We have Requirements (citizenship, residency, selective service, background investigation, drug testing, ethics, E-Verify, bargaining unit). We have Qualifications (experience for GS-6/GS-7, volunteer, time in grade, political appointee disclosure, residency, probationary period, CTAP/ICTAP, education note). We have Pay (salary range). No Benefits, Schedule, Skills. We must not repeat job title. No need to include Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all the details from the posting, but we can organize them under sections. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some like "Please see announcement on USAJOBS for available locations." That's maybe boilerplate? It's location info but we can keep location. The line "Please see announcement on USAJOBS for available locations." is generic; we could drop as it's not substantive. Also "Additional selections may be made for other organizational divisions and/or units within the duty location(s) listed above." That's substantive about location. We need to remove duplicated lines: The duties appear twice? There's a paragraph about duties then later "As a Mission Support Assistant, you will be responsible for providing clerical, administrative, and technical support..." That's similar but we should keep both as they add detail. Not duplicate exactly. We need to ensure we don't include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. We'll start with

About the role

then

with organizational location and mission. Then

Responsibilities

with

• for list of duties. Also include the opening statement about announcement open period? That's more about application timeline, not duty. Could be placed under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably under About the role as it's about the announcement. But we can include a

  about announcement timeline under About the role. Better: About the role includes location, mission, announcement timeline. Responsibilities: list of typical duties. Requirements: list of eligibility requirements. Qualifications: list of experience requirements, volunteer, time in grade, political appointee, residency, probationary period, CTAP/ICTAP, education note. Pay: salary range and links.
