SUPERVISORY IT CYBERSECURITY SPECIALIST (INFOSEC)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key parts:
- Summary: includes description: recruited under 10 USC 1599f into Cyber Excepted Service, does NOT convey eligibility to be converted to Competitive Service. It is necessary to carry out and support mission of US Cyber Command. It is in Supervision/Management Work Category at Expert Work Level within CES Occupational Structure. Located in DISA HC/HC222.
That's "About the role" maybe.
- Duties: list of duties (multiple sentences). Should be a - list.
- Requirements: includes Conditions of employment (citizenship, selective service, security clearance, DoD 8140 policy, drug testing, OGE Form 450). Also maybe "Qualifications" separate.
- Qualifications: Basic Requirements (list of competencies: Attention to Detail, Customer Service, Oral Communication, Problem Solving). Then Qualifying Experience (description). Then Education (no substitution). Also Additional information (lots of boilerplate about excepted service, probation, telework, drug testing, OGE Form 450, relocation incentives, etc). Some of that may be considered "Additional information" but we need to decide if we include as separate section like "Additional Information" maybe not required headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's a Benefits paragraph at end: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's benefits content. So we should include Benefits section.
Pay: Not mentioned explicitly except maybe "If selected, the authorized rate of pay may exceed the stated maximum salary rate range under certain circumstances." That's some pay info but vague. It says may exceed stated maximum salary rate range under certain circumstances. No actual numbers. The rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does mention pay but not specific rate. It says "authorized rate of pay may exceed the stated maximum salary rate range under certain circumstances." That's still pay info but vague. Might be considered pay info. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay (rate may exceed). So we could include Pay section with that sentence. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's a statement about pay. So include Pay.
Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit Schedule.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could treat Basic Requirements as skills? But they are under Qualifications. Could create Skills section? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have About the role, Responsibilities (Duties), Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. That's six sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But they are distinct: Requirements (conditions of employment) vs Qualifications (basic requirements, experience, education). Might be okay to keep both.
We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines. Need to filter out repetitive sentences like "This position is in the Excepted Service and does NOT convey eligibility to be converted to the Competitive Service." appears multiple times. We should keep only once? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Removing duplicated lines is allowed. So we can deduplicate.
We need to remove application instructions (like contact number, apply electronically, etc). Also remove EEO etc. Not present.
We need to remove navigation/footer etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
