Paralegal Specialist.

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe heading "Responsibilities"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content: Duties -> Responsibilities. Requirements -> maybe Requirements? There's also Qualifications. Also Benefits maybe? The posting mentions benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." Not specific details, but it's generic. Should we include Benefits section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. The posting mentions benefits generically but not specific benefits. Likely not enough specific content, so we should omit Benefits. Pay: mentions "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's specific enough? It states salary includes locality pay. That's a pay detail. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: mentions "This position has a Temporary Duty (TDY) or business travel requirement of 5% of the time." That's schedule/travel requirement. Could be considered Schedule? Might be appropriate to include Schedule section with that detail. However schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time). This is travel requirement. Might still be okay but maybe better to include under Responsibilities? The instruction: Use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does state travel requirement 5% of time, which is a schedule aspect. So we can include Schedule. We also need to include Requirements section? The posting has "Conditions of employment" etc. That could be Requirements. We'll put that under Requirements heading. Qualifications section: includes Who May Apply, education, experience etc. We'll put under Qualifications. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Duties are a list of sentences separated by periods; we can make each duty a
• . Requirements also list items: conditions of employment (suitability/fitness determination, TDY 5%). We'll list those. Qualifications: includes multiple paragraphs; we can list bullet points for sub-items: Who May Apply, Education, Experience, Combination, Foreign Education, etc. Might be many; we can make a
  with each major point. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: 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 boilerplate? It's a requirement. Keep it. 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. "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." Keep. "When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government..." Keep. "A Relocation, Recruitment, Student Loan Repayment, Advance in Hire or Advance Leave Accrual incentive may be authorized if it is in the best interest of the government." Keep. Reasonable Accommodation details keep. "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency..." Keep. "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." Keep but we decided not to make Benefits section because not specific. Could still include as a paragraph under maybe Responsibilities? But better to keep as a paragraph under maybe a generic section? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could include a Benefits section with that sentence, but it's vague. Might be considered filler? It's not specific benefits. I'd lean to omit Benefits section, but we could include that sentence as a

  under maybe a "Benefits" heading? The instruction says never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state that there is a comprehensive benefits package, but not specifics. Might be considered stating them? It's vague. Safer to omit. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  Pay

  Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement.

  Schedule

  This position has a Temporary Duty (TDY) or business travel requirement of 5% of the time.

  We have duplicated the travel requirement in Requirements and Schedule; maybe we should keep only one. The instruction: do not duplicate lines. We have travel requirement in Requirements already; we could omit Schedule section and keep travel requirement under Requirements. But we need to include Schedule only if posting actually states them; it does state travel requirement. However we already have it under Requirements; duplicating would be violation. Better to move travel requirement to Schedule and remove from Requirements. But Requirements also has other items; we can keep travel requirement under Schedule only. Let's adjust: Requirements section will not include travel requirement; Schedule will have that sentence. Thus Requirements list excludes travel requirement. Let's rewrite Requirements accordingly. Also we need to ensure we didn't miss any other substantive info: "When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers the majority of your entitlements to be taxable. Visit Permanent Change of Station (PCS) allowances may be authorized, subject to the provisions of the Joint Travel Regulations and an agency determination that a PCS move is in the Government Interest." This is about PCS; we could include under maybe a separate section? Not a standard heading; could be under Requirements or maybe a note. Since it's substantive, we should preserve. Could add a paragraph under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only allowed headings from list; we could add a

  under Requirements after list. Or we could create a section "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings; better to embed as a

  under Requirements. Also "A Relocation, Recruitment, Student Loan Repayment, Advance in Hire or Advance Leave Accrual incentive may be authorized if it is in the best interest of the government." That's also substantive; could be under Requirements or maybe Benefits? It's about incentives. Could be under Requirements as well. Also "When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government..." we should keep. Also "Multiple positions may be filled from this announcement." Keep. Also "This is a(n) Legal Career Program position aligned under the PILLAR Career Management Directorate." Keep. Also "When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers the majority of your entitlements to be taxable." Keep. We need to incorporate all these. Let's decide to keep Requirements as a list of conditions, and after the list add

  paragraphs for additional info: multiple positions, legal career program, PCS tax info, PCS allowances, incentives, etc. We also have "Direct Deposit of Pay is required." Already in Requirements. We also have "Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees." Already. We also have "If you have retired from federal service and you are interested in employment as a reemployed annuitant
