We need to preserve all substantive info. This is lengthy. We can break into sub-sections? The instruction only allows headings for the predefined set. We cannot create custom headings. So we must put all qualifications content under a single
Qualifications
and then use for prose and
- for lists where appropriate.
We have lists: the bullet-like items for Basic Education Standards? It's a sentence with "or". Could treat as prose. The specialized experience definitions for each grade could be list items.
We also have Skills section: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications? But we have a predefined Skills heading; we could put skill-related content there. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine qualifications and skills into one section? But we have separate headings allowed. We need to decide what to put under Skills. The posting does not have a explicit "Skills" section; but we could derive skills from qualifications (like skill in developing programs, knowledge of values, etc). However that might be considered summarizing/inventing? It's extracting from qualifications; could be okay but risk of inventing. Safer to not create a Skills section if there is no explicit skills heading. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Since there is no explicit Skills section, we should not create one. So we will omit Skills.
Benefits: we have some content: "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. Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits. Review our benefits 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."
We need to strip out the "Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits." That's likely a link; we can keep the sentence but maybe remove the "Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits." as it's boilerplate? It's a call to action; maybe considered navigation? Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep the substantive sentences: "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. Review our benefits 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."
We can combine into a paragraph.
Pay: none, omit.
Schedule: we have travel up to 25% of time, telework availability based on mission requirements. That's schedule-related but not explicit schedule like "Full-time". Could we create Schedule section with that info? The posting does mention travel percentage and telework. That is specific content about schedule. So we could include Schedule section with those details. However the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them.
