We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: Duties (maybe "Responsibilities"? The posting has "Duties". According to rules, we can use headings like "Responsibilities" etc. The posting includes duties, responsibilities, qualifications, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to include only sections with real content.
We have duties: many paragraphs. We'll put under for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings if content matches. We have duties/responsibilities content, so we can use
Responsibilities
orDuties
. The rule says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings if content matches. We have duties/responsibilities content, so we can use Responsibilities
. Then we have Qualifications (including specialized experience, competencies, etc). Also Requirements (conditions of employment). Also maybe Skills? Not separate. Benefits? The posting mentions benefits generically: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." but no specific benefits listed. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits generically but not specific. Likely we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Yes: "Work schedule: Required to work Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. May include occasional weekends..." plus details about holidays, overtime, compressed/flexible schedule not available, telework not available, remote/virtual not available. So we have schedule details. So we can create Schedule
with that info.
Also maybe "Requirements" for conditions of employment (background check, drug testing, selective service, probationary period, US citizenship, online onboarding). That is present.
Qualifications: includes typing speed, driver's license, specialized experience, competencies, education, etc.
We also have "Physical Requirements" maybe could be part of Qualifications or Requirements? Could be its own section but not in allowed headings. Could include under Qualifications as a paragraph. We'll keep under Qualifications.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We can include metadata like Position Description Title/PD# in a short p.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Under the Fair Chance to Compete Act..." etc. That's legal/EEO? It's about Fair Chance Act. Should we remove? It's legal boilerplate; likely remove. Also "Veterans and Transitioning Service Members: Please visit..." maybe remove. Also "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic benefits but we already decided not to create Benefits section; but we could keep that sentence under Qualifications? It's not a requirement. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's about benefits. Since we are not making Benefits section, we could drop that sentence. However rule: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Is that sentence substantive? It's generic; but it's still information about benefits. However we are not creating a Benefits section; we could still include it as a paragraph under maybe "Benefits" but we said not to create Benefits unless specific. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits generically, but not specific. The rule says "never create ... Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (a sentence). So we could create a Benefits section with that sentence. However the rule also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The sentence is thin. Might be better to omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit, we lose that info. So we should include a Benefits section with that sentence. However the rule also says "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')". The sentence "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." is not filler; it's a statement. So we can include Benefits section with that sentence.
Similarly, there is a sentence about "As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding." That's also benefits. We'll combine.
We also have "Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." That's also benefits.
Thus we have substantive benefits info, albeit generic. We'll include Benefits section.
Pay: Not mentioned. So no Pay section.
Schedule: we have details.
Now we need to format duties as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a paragraph with many sentences; we could break into list items for each duty. The rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into a list. Similarly requirements (conditions of employment) into list. Qualifications maybe also list.
We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to capture each duty as separate list item, but we must not lose any detail. We can split by sentences.
Let's extract duties sentences:
"Provides specialized and general clerical assistance to the office of the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies."
"Performs general clerical support in office with copying, filing, storing stock items."
"Assignments can vary involving routine and non-routine office functions such as preparing documents and correspondence, sorting, copying, and filing."
"Prepares reports for Cemetery Administrators use."
"Assist in budget preparation and management."
"Serves as purchase card holder and time keeper."
"Represents the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies meeting funeral directors, families and honor guard members who are attending committal services or burials at the Cemetery."
"Provides information to bereaved family members concerning gravesite and marker information."
"Retrieves gravesite information from the KIOSK or BOSS (electronic burial register) in assisting families locating loved ones' gravesites."
"Duties may include but are not limited to: maintaining control of traffic to the cemetery, directing funeral corteges so as to keep all family members together, accompanying families to committal shelters and gravesites, providing veteran burial benefit information to family members and visitors, answering general questions of family and visitors, assisting visitors and family members locating gravesites."
"Performs public outreach as needed."
We could also include the earlier sentence about "Work schedule:" but that's schedule.
Now requirements (conditions of employment):
"Subject to a background/security investigation."
"Designated and/or random drug testing may be required."
"Selective Service Registration is required for males born after 12/31/1959."
"You may be required to serve a probationary period."
"You must be a U.S. citizen to apply for this job."
"Selected applicants will be required to complete an online onboarding process."
Also maybe "Required As a condition of employment for accepting this position, you will be required to serve a 1-year probationary period during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest." That's more detailed about probationary period. We'll include that.
Also "Upon completion of your probationary period, your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest."
We'll include those.
Now qualifications:
"To qualify for this position, applicants must meet requirements by the closing date of this announcement, 09/24/2026."
"Must have the ability to type at least 40 words per minute."
"Must possess and maintain a valid REAL ID compliant state driver's license."
"You may qualify based on your experience, as described below:"
Then specialized experience description (one year of specialized experience equivalent to GS-05). We'll capture that as list items maybe.
Also "You will be rated on the following Competencies for this position: Writing Critical Thinking Computer Skills Communication Self-Management"
Also "Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religions; spiritual; community; student; social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience."
Also note about full year work 35-40 hours per week, part-time credit.
Also "Physical Requirements: The work is performed in both an office and field setting with exposure to outside weather conditions. May require occasional travel for training purposes. Standing, walking, bending, stooping and lifting of cemetery records and other small items are required of this position. The position also requires assisting with the, moving of caskets placed on wheeled biers into committal shelters and handling of cremated remains which are in an urn."
Also "Selected applicants will be required to complete an online onboarding process." (duplicate, but we can keep once.)
Education: "There is no educational substitution at this grade level."
Additional information about ICTAP/CTAP etc. That's maybe not a section but could be included under Qualifications or Additional info. We'll keep as paragraph under Qualifications maybe.
Also "Under the Fair Chance to Compete Act, the Department of Veterans Affairs prohibits requesting an applicant's criminal history prior to accepting a tentative job offer." That's legal boilerplate; maybe remove? It's about Fair Chance Act. Could be considered legal; but it's substantive info about hiring process. The rule says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is about Fair Chance Act, which is similar to EEO? Might be considered legal. Safer to remove.
Also "Veterans and Transitioning Service Members: Please visit the Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution. A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered."
