Requirements

Requirements maybe combine basic requirements: US citizenship, education, ecclesiastical endorsement, board certification, English proficiency, grandfathering provision, grade determinations (experience). But we also have Qualifications section maybe for education/certification. Let's decide: Requirements could be basic eligibility (citizenship, education, endorsement, certification, English). Qualifications could be preferred experience, KSAs, grade determinations. But we need to avoid duplication. Better: Requirements: citizenship, education, ecclesiastical endorsement, board certification, English proficiency. Qualifications: experience (one year creditable experience equivalent to GS-12), KSAs, preferred experience, grandfathering provision, grade determinations (GS-13). Skills: maybe KSAs again? Actually KSAs are skills. So Skills section can list KSAs. Thus: Requirements: list bullet points. Qualifications: maybe include experience and preferred experience. Skills: list KSAs. Benefits: relocation/recruitment incentives may be authorized, financial disclosure report required (maybe not a benefit but we can put under Benefits). Also maybe locality-based comparability pay? That's pay. But we don't have specific pay amount. So we skip Pay. Schedule: Monday - Friday - 8:00am - 4:30 pm; Telework: Not Available; Virtual: not a virtual position. Also include Functional Statement # maybe not needed. Let's craft. Check for boilerplate removal: remove lines about "See Education Duties", "Physical Requirements: ****See Education Duties". Also remove "Reference: For more information..." etc. Remove "The full performance level of this vacancy is GS-13". Might be part of Qualifications? Could include grade. But we can include in Qualifications: "The full performance level of this vacancy is GS-13". That's substantive. Also remove "The actual grade at which an applicant may be selected for this vacancy is GS-13". Duplicate. Remove "Notifications:" block except maybe we keep locality-based comparability pay? That's pay info but not specific amount. Could be considered Pay but we don't have amount. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states locality-based comparability pay (a type of pay). So we could include Pay section with that statement. However we also have schedule. So we can include Pay: "Locality-based comparability pay applies." That's specific enough. But we also have financial disclosure required, which is not a benefit but maybe a requirement. Could be under Requirements? It's a condition of employment. Might be under Requirements as "Financial disclosure report (OGE Form 450) required within 30 days of onboarding and annually." Similarly, "Excepted Service", "Not a Bargaining Unit position", "May be required to travel", "May be required to attend conference", "Submit SF-50", "Narrative responses to KSAs may be required", "Veterans' preference does not apply". Those are notifications; could be under Requirements or a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put many of those under Requirements or Qualifications. Let's allocate: Requirements: citizenship, education, ecclesiastical endorsement, board certification, English proficiency, financial disclosure report, excepted service, not bargaining unit, locality-based comparability pay (maybe pay), travel requirement, conference attendance, SF-50 submission, narrative KSAs, veterans' preference not apply. Qualifications: experience (one year creditable experience equivalent to GS-12), KSAs (maybe move to Skills), preferred experience, grandfathering provision, grade determinations (GS-13), maybe also "Supervisory Chaplain - GS-13". Skills: list KSAs. Benefits: relocation/recruitment incentives may be authorized, PCS not authorized. Schedule: work schedule Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm, telework not available, not virtual. Pay: locality-based comparability pay. Check duplication: KSAs appear in Qualifications and Skills; we should only put them in Skills to avoid duplication. Qualifications then would have experience, preferred experience, grandfathering provision, grade determinations. Let's draft.
