Recreation Aide (Auto Skills Center)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract relevant info from posting.
First, identify sections:
- About the role: summary description of purpose. The posting starts: "Summary This position is located at Community Recreation, Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department, CBC Gulfport, MS. The purpose of this position is to perform a variety of duties in support of MWR special events, information/resources, command events, community events, outings, party and picnic rental equipment, resale tickets, Liberty, leisure skill classes and outdoor recreation or other similar MWR recreational services including bowling and movies, fitness and sports."
We can put that as About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. The posting includes "MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBLITIES:" then a paragraph with many duties. We can extract bullet list items. Need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into list items.
- Requirements: includes Conditions of employment, etc. Could be a list.
- Qualifications: includes required experience, knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Skills: maybe separate but we can combine with Qualifications? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But headings are predefined; we should only include sections that have real content. Could include Qualifications and Skills separate if content distinct. However we can put skills under Qualifications. But we need to follow headings exactly if we use them. Might be safer to include Qualifications and Skills as separate if we have content for each. Let's see.
Qualifications content: "General experience of 0-3 months and/or high school diploma or equivalent - is preferred but not required. Knowledge of the MWR department... Skilled in keyboarding... Ability to perform basic computer operations... Ability to read and comprehend... Ability to perform basic custodial tasks... Ability to perform basic arithmetic calculations... Ability to identify customer needs... Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing You will receive credit for all qualifying experience..." That's a mix of knowledge, skills, abilities.
Skills could be extracted: keyboarding, point of sale, desktop computers, basic computer ops, reading comprehension, custodial tasks, arithmetic, customer service, communication.
But we can put those under Qualifications and not create Skills section to avoid thin section. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine Qualifications and Skills into one section, maybe label as Qualifications (includes skills). But headings are fixed; we cannot change heading text. If we combine, we need to decide which heading to use. Could use Qualifications and put skills inside as list. That seems fine.
Benefits: posting mentions benefits: "Additional information The Federal government offers a number of exceptional benefits to its employees. Benefits you get to enjoy while working for our TEAM include but are not limited to: Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, life insurance, spouse & dependent life insurance, long-term disability, retirement, and 401(k) savings plan, annual and sick leave, tuition reimbursement, etc.). Stability of Federal Civilian Service..." Also later: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." Also mentions flexible schedule, EAP, access to MWR programs, discounted tickets, shopping privileges, professional development resources. Also medical benefits eligibility if 30 hrs/week.
Thus we have benefits content.
Pay: posting says "Salary is dependent on experience and/or education." That's a statement but not specific numbers. According to rule: 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 does state that salary is dependent on experience/education, which is somewhat vague but still states something. Is that considered filler? It's not a specific number but it's a statement. The rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Dependent on experience and/or education" is similar to "commensurate with experience". Might be considered filler. Safer to omit Pay section.
Schedule: posting mentions flexible schedule, work based on mission needs and availability, also mentions if scheduled and work on average 30 hours/week eligible for medical benefits. Also mentions may work at multiple facilities, indoor/outdoor, periods of standing, bending, stooping, lifting up to 40 lbs. That's more about work conditions than schedule. There's no explicit schedule like shift times. So we likely should not create Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits.
Now we need to extract content and format.
About the role: a paragraph summarizing purpose and location. We'll put in
.
Responsibilities: list items from MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBLITIES. Let's extract each duty sentence.
Original text after that heading:
"Performs assigned dutiesand provides necessary services to authorized patrons, including general information and support of recreation and fitness programs. Provides information concerning facilities and operation. Ensures adherence to regulations, safety and security procedures. May assists in maintaining routine reports and/or performs clerical, custodial and/or general maintenance duties. Performs numerous functions in support of recreation and fitness program delivery to include inventory control, equipment inspection, restocking, point of sale system operation and cash handling. Operates a cash register, Point of Sale (POS) system, processes product or servicetransactions including equipment loan, rentals, resale, and program registration; receives payments and makes change. Greets patrons in person, answers the telephone, takes messages, handles customer requests, makes referrals to the appropriate staff member. Adheres to NAVMED P-5010 sanitation requirements. Provides support for recreation event set up and break down. Performs other duties as assigned."
We need to split into sensible bullet points. Could keep each sentence as a bullet.
Note there is a typo "dutiesand" missing space; we can correct? We should preserve information but not invent. We can keep as is but maybe fix minor typo? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Fixing a missing space is not inventing; it's just formatting. Probably okay to keep as is but better to correct for readability? Might be considered altering text. Safer to keep exactly as given, but we can add a space? That's adding a character not present. Might be considered inventing. I'd keep the original text but maybe it's okay to add a space because it's obvious typo. However to be safe, I'll keep the exact wording but maybe separate bullets at periods.
Thus bullets:
- Performs assigned dutiesand provides necessary services to authorized patrons, including general information and support of recreation and fitness programs.
- Provides information concerning facilities and operation.
- Ensures adherence to regulations, safety and security procedures.
- May assists in maintaining routine reports and/or performs clerical, custodial and/or general maintenance duties.
- Performs numerous functions in support of recreation and fitness program delivery to include inventory control, equipment inspection, restocking, point of sale system operation and cash handling.
- Operates a cash register, Point of Sale (POS) system, processes product or servicetransactions including equipment loan, rentals, resale, and program registration; receives payments and makes change.
- Greets patrons in person, answers the telephone, takes messages, handles customer requests, makes referrals to the appropriate staff member.
- Adheres to NAVMED P-5010 sanitation requirements.
- Provides support for recreation event set up and break down.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
Now Requirements: includes Conditions of employment etc. We need to list them as bullet points.
Extract from "Conditions of employment" paragraph:
"Must meet Federal Employment suitability requirements and successful completion of background investigation. Background investigations are conducted using fingerprint identification and completion of background inquiry forms. Must successfully pass the E-verify employment verification check. Any discrepancies must be resolved as a condition of employment. You must go through a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) process that requires two forms of identification from the Form I-9. A valid State driver's license is required to operate motor vehicles. Must have your salary sent to a financial institution of your choice by Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer. Selective Service Registration is required for males born after 12/31/1959. Work may involve periods of standing as well as some bending, stooping, and lifting up to 40 pounds. Requires C.A.R.E (Controlling Alcohol Risks Effectively) trained, hold an Emergency First Responder (EFR) or CPR First Aid certification and hold a current Food Handler certification OR be able to obtain these trainings/certifications within 90 days. May work at multiple Community Recreation facilities with work performed in both indoor and outdoor environments."
We can break into bullet points.
Also later there is "Key Requirements/Conditions Of Employment" repeating similar points: Males must be registered or exempt from Selective Service, suitability, probationary period, direct deposit, SSN, E-Verify, REAL ID, favorable background, etc. We should combine but avoid duplication. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; not remove duplication? Instruction: Remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate.
Thus we need to compile unique requirements.
Let's list unique items:
- Must meet Federal Employment suitability requirements and successfully complete background investigation (fingerprint identification, background inquiry forms).
- Must successfully pass E-Verify employment verification check.
- Any discrepancies must be resolved as a condition of employment.
- Must go through Personal Identity Verification (PIV) process requiring two forms of identification from Form I-9.
- Valid State driver's license required to operate motor vehicles.
- Salary must be sent to a financial institution of choice by Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer.
- Selective Service Registration required for males born after 12/31/1959.
- Work may involve periods of standing, bending, stooping, lifting up to 40 pounds.
- Must be C.A.R.E trained, hold Emergency First Responder (EFR) or CPR First Aid certification, and hold current Food Handler certification OR be able to obtain these trainings/certifications within 90 days.
- May work at multiple Community Recreation facilities, indoor and outdoor environments.
- Must be determined suitable for federal employment (suitability).
- May be required to successfully complete a probationary period.
- Required to participate in direct deposit pay program (already covered).
- Social Security Card required.
- Satisfactorily complete employment verification (E-Verify) check (already).

- Salary dependent on experience/education (but we may omit Pay).
- For positions requiring travel > twice per year, may need Government-issued Travel Card.
- This announcement may be used to fill additional vacancies within 90 days of closing date.
We need to decide which to include under Requirements. Many are conditions of employment. We'll include them as bullet points, ensuring not to duplicate.
We'll combine similar items: E-Verify mentioned multiple times; we can have one bullet.
Direct deposit mentioned multiple times; one bullet.
Selective Service mentioned multiple times; one bullet.
Background/suitability/favorable background:
. Responsibilities: list items from MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBLITIES. Let's extract each duty sentence.
