Munitions Inspector.
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes Duties (list), Requirements (list), Qualifications (list). Also there is mention of Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement – that's some pay info, but it's vague: "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's not a specific number; it's generic. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That is still generic but it's a statement about pay. Might be considered stating pay info, albeit not a specific amount. The rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here it's stating that salary includes locality pay; not a specific number but it's still a statement. I'd consider that as stating pay info, so we could include a Pay section with that sentence. However, it's somewhat generic; but it's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It says "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That is a concrete statement (though not a number). I'd include Pay section.
Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's generic but mentions benefits. It's not specific like health insurance etc. It's generic but still states benefits exist. The rule: never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state that there is a comprehensive benefits package. Might be considered stating benefits. However, it's vague; but it's not filler like "not specified". I'd include Benefits section with that paragraph.
Schedule: no mention of schedule (e.g., full-time, part-time). Not present, so omit.
Skills: not explicitly listed; we could omit.
Thus sections: Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Benefits, we have prose, not a list; we can use
. For Pay, we have a sentence; use
.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Need to include all duties, requirements, qualifications details.
