On-siteOTHRFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with headings inside
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: Summary: "This position for The Defense Information Systems Agency is at Fort Meade, MD . This Job Opportunity Announcement is using an additional online assessment tool to evaluate applicants. Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS sections below for instructions." We can treat summary as maybe "About the role"? But we need to decide sections. Duties: list of duties. Requirements: Conditions of employment etc. Qualifications: Time-in-Grade, Specialized Experience, Education. Additional information: includes probationary period, moving costs may be paid, recruitment incentives may be authorized, tax info, veterans preference, selective service, etc. Also mentions benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic but maybe we can include Benefits section with that statement? However 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 mention benefits generically but not specific benefits. It says "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's somewhat generic but still states benefits exist. Might be acceptable to include Benefits section with that sentence. However we must not invent details. We can include that sentence as is. Pay: No mention of salary. So we should not include Pay section. Schedule: No mention of schedule (full-time/part-time). Not stated. So omit Schedule. Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from duties but not explicit. Better not to include Skills unless explicit. Thus sections: About the role (maybe from summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (time-in-grade, specialized experience, education), Benefits (generic benefits statement). Possibly also Additional information could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? But we have to follow headings list; we can put additional info under Requirements or Qualifications if relevant. However we must not create extra headings not in list. So we need to map content to allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put: - About the role: summary paragraph (position at Fort Meade, MD, using online assessment tool). Could also include mission? Not given. - Responsibilities: the duties list. - Requirements: Conditions of employment (citizenship, security clearance, selective service, time after competitive appointment, time in grade requirement, ability to obtain/maintain security clearance). Also maybe include "Additional information" items like probationary period, moving costs may be paid, recruitment incentives may be authorized, tax info, veterans preference, selective service registration, annuitant policy, etc. Those are more like requirements/conditions. Could include them under Requirements. - Qualifications: Time-in-Grade, Specialized Experience, Education. - Benefits: the statement about comprehensive benefits package. We should not include Skills. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact wording? We can keep the substance but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Safer to keep the original sentences/phrases. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's extract each piece. About the role: "This position for The Defense Information Systems Agency is at Fort Meade, MD . This Job Opportunity Announcement is using an additional online assessment tool to evaluate applicants. Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS sections below for instructions." We should maybe drop the instruction to review sections (that's application instruction). The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove "Please review the HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS sections below for instructions." That's application instruction. So About the role should just be: "This position for The Defense Information Systems Agency is at Fort Meade, MD." Keep that. Responsibilities: The duties list: "Ensures that the policies are technically sound and managerially responsive to meet organizational requirements. Conducts comprehensive management studies using knowledge of economic principles, cost analysis and environmental assessments as related to space management, analyzing study results,identifying problems and improvements. Analyzes and evaluates space requests considering activities organization structure, workflow,staffing, mission, location, special requirements and availability of space. Evaluates requests for additional space assignments within prescribed space allocations for permanent staff, approved contractor support, or ad hoc groups to determine the necessity for urgent requests. Coordinates the procurement, changes and moves of telephone and local area network services to support personnel and classified or unclassified equipment relocations for special projects." We need to put each as
- . Ensure we preserve punctuation.

Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered or exempt from Selective Service (to verify your registration status click here).

Many of these are application instructions or boilerplate (like click here, contact number, etc.) We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out instructions like "click here", "contact 317-212-0454", "All applicants are encouraged to apply electronically", etc. Also the Reasonable Accommodation details are somewhat procedural but maybe considered application instructions? Might be considered part of requirements? The instruction says remove application instructions. The RA process is about how to request accommodation for assessments; that's application instruction. So we should remove that.
We should keep substantive info: probationary period may be required, management may select at either grade level, may fill additional vacancies within 90 days, moving costs may be paid, recruitment/relocation/retention incentives may be authorized, tax changes, veterans preference, selective service registration requirement (already covered), DoD annuitant policy, commitment to improving efficiency etc. The last sentence about candidates should be committed... is more like a statement of desired attributes; could be kept under Requirements or maybe under About the role? It's not a requirement but a desirable trait. Might be considered part of Requirements? It's not a condition of employment but a statement. Might be considered as part of "Requirements" but it's not a requirement. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we could put it under Requirements as a bullet? But it's not a requirement; maybe better to put under About the role? But About the role already short. Could add a sentence about desired attributes. However the instruction says we should not invent or summarize away detail; we need to keep it. Where to place? Could create a separate section like "Skills" but not appropriate. Could add to "Requirements" as a bullet? Might be okay.
But we need to avoid application instructions; the RA and contact info are instructions; we remove them.
Thus Requirements section will include:
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or National
- This national security position, which may require access to classified information, requires a favorable suitability review and security clearance as a condition of employment. Failure to maintain security eligibility may result in termination.
