We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe "About the Position"), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Overview/Duties: "About the Position: Serves as Park Ranger responsible for planning and implementation of a variety of program areas involving administration, resource management, and visitor services."
- Then "DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT/DUTIES:" with bullet-like paragraphs: Natural Resource & Stewardship Management, Visitor Assistance & Title 36 Enforcement, Recreation & Contract Administration, Dam & Water Control Operations.
We can treat these as responsibilities.
- "Other Conditions And Requirements": includes Applicability/Area of Consideration, Who may apply (US Citizens), Applicant Qualifications (education requirements), specialized experience at GS-05, GS-07, GS-09, Competencies needed (Decision-Making Problem Solving Oral Communication), Conditions of Employment (probationary period, background investigation, licenses, certifications, drug testing, DA Form, physical exam, citation authority, uniform, etc.), Other Essential Information (selection restrictions, proof of citizenship, Exempt from FLSA, nepotism, may fill like vacancies, situational telework, qualifications must be met by closing date, salary includes locality pay, direct deposit required, CP-51 position, PCS costs not authorized, relocation/recruitment incentives up to 25%, Service Agreement, Selective Service registration for males born after 12/31/1959, application timing, point of contact, resume requirements, etc.)
- Also "Qualifications - Candidates will be evaluated..." and "Reasonable Accommodation" etc.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe "About the Position") -> paragraph.
Responsibilities: list of duties (the four categories). Could be bullet list.
Requirements: maybe "Applicant Qualifications" (education, experience). Could be broken into sub-sections but we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly.
- About the role: overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities: duties list.
- Requirements: maybe "Who may apply" (US Citizens) plus education requirement? But also "Conditions of Employment" could be considered requirements? Might be better to put education/experience under Requirements, and Qualifications for competencies? Actually we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We need to decide what goes where.
We could put:
- About the role: position overview.
- Responsibilities: duties.
- Requirements: eligibility (US Citizens, education, experience, specialized experience for each grade). Could be long.
- Qualifications: competencies (Decision-Making, Problem Solving, Oral Communication) plus maybe other qualifications like licenses, certifications.
- Skills: maybe not present; we could omit if no specific skills listed besides competencies. But we could put competencies under Skills? The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have competencies listed: Decision-Making Problem Solving Oral Communication. Those could go under Skills.
- Benefits: posting mentions relocation/recruitment incentives up to 25%, Direct deposit required, maybe benefits not detailed. No explicit benefits like health, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless specific content. There's mention of "Relocation/Recruitment Incentives may be authorized (up to 25%)." That's a benefit/incentive. Could be considered benefit. Also "Direct deposit of pay is required." That's not a benefit. "Payment of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) costs NOT authorized." That's a condition. So we could include a Benefits section with relocation/recruitment incentives.
- Pay: posting says "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's pay info. Also "Direct deposit of pay is required." That's pay method. So we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned; maybe "This position MAY be eligible for situational telework only, including emergency and OPM prescribed 'Unscheduled Telework'." That's schedule/telework. Could be considered schedule. Also "One-year probationary period may be required." That's condition not schedule. So we could include Schedule section with telework eligibility.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we include only if we have concrete info.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from each section.
We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end; we must remove that. Also "Reasonable Accommodation" maybe considered boilerplate? It's a statement about accommodation; could be considered EEO-like but it's substantive? It says "Reasonable accommodation is available to qualified employees with disabilities." That's a standard statement; might be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Reasonable accommodation is related to disability accommodation; could be considered EEO. Safer to remove it.
Also "Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy:" block must be removed.
Also "Qualifications - Candidates will be evaluated in accordance with OPM General Schedule (GS) Qualification Standards or Federal Wage System (FWS) Qualifications and Job Elements GS Standards: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/" That's a reference; could be considered boilerplate? It's a qualification standard reference; maybe keep? It's not specific to the job; it's a generic link. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove.
We need to keep all substantive info: duties, eligibility, education, experience, competencies, conditions of employment, other essential info, pay, schedule, benefits.
We must not include application instructions like resume requirements, point of contact, etc. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we must remove "Point of contact for this announcement is TM Sabrina Simpson." and all resume requirements, etc. Also "Your Resume Your resume must be two pages or less..." etc. Remove.
Also remove "Applications must be submitted after 12:01 AM (EST) of the posted Job Posting Open Date and before 11:45 PM (EST) of the posted Job Posting Close Date to receive consideration." That's application instruction; remove.
Also remove "Use plain language. Avoid using acronyms..." etc.
Also remove "If your resume includes a photograph..." etc.
Also remove "Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy:" block.
Also remove "Reasonable Accommodation" maybe.
Also remove "Qualifications - Candidates will be evaluated..." block.
Also remove "To learn more, please visit the Office of Equal Opportunity (https://www.eeoc.gov/federal-sector/federal-employees-job-applicants)."
Now we need to keep substantive info: Position Overview/Duties, DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT/DUTIES (the four categories), Other Conditions And Requirements (including Applicability/Area of Consideration, WHO MAY APPLY, APPLICANT QUALIFICATIONS, specialized experience at GS-05/07/09, Competencies needed, Conditions of Employment, Other Essential Information). Also maybe "Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees." etc.
We need to format as HTML with headings for each section.
We need to use
for each section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what constitutes a list.
For Responsibilities: we have four categories each with multiple sentences. Could be a list of four items, each item containing the description (maybe as
inside
- ). Or we could make each bullet a
- with the description.
For Requirements: we have eligibility (US Citizens), education requirement, specialized experience for each grade (GS-05, GS-07, GS-09). Could be a list.
For Qualifications: maybe we put competencies as list.
For Benefits: relocation/recruitment incentives up to 25% maybe as list item.
For Pay: salary includes locality pay or local market supplement; direct deposit required. Could be prose.
For Schedule: situational telework eligibility.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure we have real content.
