We need to extract benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package.

Pay: "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement."
Also maybe "Direct deposit of pay is required." That's pay-related.
We should not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to format duties as list items? The duties paragraph contains multiple sentences separated by periods. Could convert each sentence to
- . Similarly responsibilities? Actually the duties section already includes responsibilities like "Responsible for the administration...". The posting didn't separate duties and responsibilities explicitly; but we have a "Duties" heading in the source. We'll treat that as Duties section. There's no separate Responsibilities heading; but we could still include a Responsibilities section if there is content. The text includes "Responsible for the administration..." which is a responsibility. However the instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. The posting has a "Duties" block; we could treat that as Duties section. There's also a "Requirements" block. There's a "Qualifications" block. There's a benefits sentence. There's pay sentence.
We could also include a Responsibilities section if we extract responsibility statements from duties? But the duties block already includes responsibilities. Safer to follow the headings present: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Not Responsibilities unless we have distinct content. The instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It's examples, not mandatory to include all. So we include only those with real content.
Thus output:
