We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting: It includes Duties, Requirements, Conditions of employment (maybe part of Requirements), Qualifications, Special Retirement Coverage (SRC), Maximum Entry Age, etc. Also includes Education, Additional information (some of which is boilerplate like benefits, etc). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We need to decide which sections to include: Duties (yes), Requirements (yes), Qualifications (yes), Benefits? The posting mentions "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." but that's generic boilerplate. It says "Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." No specific benefits listed. So we should NOT create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay? Not mentioned specific salary; only "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's vague but maybe considered specific? It says salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement. That's still generic but mentions locality pay. Could be considered pay info. However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's a statement about pay. So we could include a Pay section with that sentence. Schedule? It mentions rotational shifts, changes in duty hours, on call. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to extract duties list: The duties paragraph includes multiple sentences. Could turn each sentence into list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list duties as bullet points. The duties text:
- Serves as a Shift Supervisor for both the Campbell Army Airfield Tower and Radar Approach Control, directing shift operations and managing the training, evaluation, and qualification of developmental controllers.
- Coordinates the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of aircraft by utilizing visual tower observation and radar approach sequencing.
- Directs and monitors aircraft separation under Visual, Instrument, and Special Visual Flight Rules.
- Resolving complex sequencing, vectoring, and wake turbulence challenges between heavy fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing assets across intersecting runways and landing areas.
Note the last bullet starts with "Resolving" (should be "Resolve"? but keep as is). We'll keep as bullet.
Requirements: The posting has "Requirements Conditions of employment" then a block. We need to separate Requirements and maybe Conditions of employment as part of Requirements. We'll treat as Requirements section with bullet list.
Extract requirements bullet points:
- Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed Tier-3 background investigation.
- This position is covered by the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Program.
- Incumbent is required to sign a DA Form 5019-R and must pass a urinalysis test as required prior to appointment and periodically thereafter.
- This position requires the successful completion of a recognized school on Air Traffic Control.
- Current Federal Aviation Administration rating.
- Incumbent must meet FAA physical standards by maintaining a Class II Flight Physical status by a US Army Flight Surgeon or any FAA approved Medical Examiner.
- Incumbent must meet and maintain the physical standards set forth in Civil Service Handbook X-118 and AR 40-501 (Class IV Standards).
- This position is subject to rotational shifts, changes in duty hours and is subject to being on call based on situational requirements.
- Incumbent may be required to serve a supervisory probationary period.
Note some of these overlap with schedule; but we keep them in Requirements.
Qualifications section: includes Special Retirement Coverage (SRC) info, Who May Apply, Experience, Required Certifications, etc. Also includes Maximum Entry Age, etc. Also Education, Additional information (some generic). We need to keep substantive info.
We should break Qualifications into bullet points for experience, certifications, etc. Also include Special Retirement Coverage details as bullet points? Might be better to have a separate section for Special Retirement Coverage? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine SRC details under Qualifications. But we also have Maximum Entry Age etc. Those are also qualifications-related. Could keep them under Qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to include Pay section: "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's a sentence.
Schedule section: from requirements we have rotational shifts etc. But we already have that in Requirements. However we could move schedule info to Schedule section and remove from Requirements to avoid duplication. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep it in both? Might be duplication but still preserving. Better to avoid duplication but not required. We'll keep schedule info in Schedule section and maybe remove from Requirements to avoid redundancy. However the schedule info is also part of Requirements (conditions of employment). Might be okay to keep in both but risk duplication. I'd rather keep it in Requirements as it's part of conditions, and also create Schedule section? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we should not create separate Schedule section if the info is already covered in Requirements. But we need to include Schedule only if posting has real specific content for it. It does have schedule info. But we could incorporate schedule info into Requirements and not create separate Schedule section. However the rule: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings if content exists. It doesn't forbid having both Requirements and Schedule if schedule details are present. But we should avoid thin sections. Schedule section would contain the schedule info; Requirements would still have other requirements. That seems okay.
Thus we will have sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Special Retirement Coverage? Could be part of Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". We'll only include sections with real content.
Now extract Qualifications content:
From posting:
"Qualifications This position is included under the provisions of Special Retirement Coverage (SRC) and may have both a maximum entry age and a mandatory retirement date.
