Wait, the rules say: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." The unposting date and contact info are metadata. Should I include them? The rules say "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Since they are specific details, I'll include them in a short paragraph or as a section. But the rules also say "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". Contact and deadline are specific. I'll include them.
Also, the "Classified Indicator Unclassified Union Exempt from Union" and "Primary Job Skill" etc. are metadata. I'll drop those as they are not substantive.
The "Agency Overview" and "About The Role" are similar. I've combined them.
I used
for subsections within Key Responsibilities and Qualifications. The rules say "use for section headings". It doesn't forbid for subsections. But to be safe, maybe I should use for all major sections and use or just list items for subsections. However, the example in the rules shows "e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule" as . So I'll keep for main sections. For subsections like "Case Evaluation and Investigation", I could use or just make them bold list items. Since the rules don't explicitly forbid , but say "use for section headings", I think using for sub-sections is acceptable as they are subsections. But to be safe, I'll use within or just start the list with a bold label.
Let me adjust: Instead of

Case Evaluation and Investigation
before the list.
Also, the "What's In It For You" is Benefits. I'll keep as Benefits.
Now, the "Agency Overview" and "About The Role" are both descriptive. I'll combine into Organization and About the Role.
