for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only when content exists. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Duties: "The Antitrust Division is seeking to fill a Supervisory Paralegal Specialist position in our New York Field Office. Within the Division, Supervisory Paralegal Specialists perform legal duties in support of attorneys engaged in antitrust cases and matters. As a Supervisory Paralegal Specialist, you will:" then bullet list (though not bullet but sentences). So we can treat as Responsibilities section. - Requirements: Conditions of employment: US Citizen, security investigation, drug test, submit application, selective service, direct deposit, ineligible for bargaining unit, supervisory appointment, one-year supervisory probationary period, E-Verify, Physical Requirements. - Qualifications: specialized experience, GS-12 level requirements, etc. Also Education: no positive education requirement. - Additional information: CTAP, ICTAP, Veterans' Preference, commitment statement, benefits package. - Benefits: mention "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits..." Not specific benefits listed, but we can include Benefits section with that prose. However rule: do NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits package generally, so we can include Benefits with that prose. - Pay: not mentioned. So omit Pay section. - Schedule: not mentioned. Omit. - Skills: not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for duties we can list each bullet as

The posting includes some like "Please note: Additional selections may be made beyond the total number of vacancies specified using this vacancy announcement." That's not boilerplate; it's substantive? Might be considered minor metadata but we can keep as part of responsibilities? It's about selections; maybe keep as a note in responsibilities. Also "SELECTIVE SERVICE: All male applicants born after December 31, 1959, must have registered for the selective service (see DIRECT DEPOSIT: All Federal employees are required to have Federal salary payments made by direct deposit to a financial institution of their choosing."

Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered.

          We also have additional info about CTAP, ICTAP, Veterans' Preference, commitment statement. Should we include those? They are substantive. Could be part of Additional information section. But we have no heading for Additional information; we could incorporate into Qualifications or Benefits? Better to create a section "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "Additional Information". So we must fit that content into existing sections. Where does it fit? CTAP/ICTAP/Veterans' Preference could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? They are about eligibility preferences. Could be under Requirements as additional eligibility criteria. Or under Qualifications as additional qualifications. The commitment statement about improving efficiency etc could be under About the role or Qualifications. Let's distribute: - CTAP, ICTAP, Veterans' Preference: maybe under Requirements as "Eligibility preferences". We'll add list items. - Commitment statement: maybe under About the role as a paragraph. We must not invent sections; we can add list items under Requirements. Let's adjust Requirements list to include those. Add items:
        • Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution.
        • Actually that's commitment statement; maybe better under About the role. But we already have About the role paragraph; we can add another paragraph there. Let's add to About the role: a second paragraph with that commitment statement. Now CTAP/ICTAP/Veterans' Preference: add to Requirements. We'll add:
        • Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) provides eligible surplus and displaced competitive service employees in the Department of Justice with selection priority over other candidates for competitive service vacancies.
        • Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP) provides eligible displaced Federal competitive service employees with selection priority over candidates from other agencies for competitive service vacancies.
        • Veterans' Preference: If you are entitled to or claim veterans' preference (VP), you should indicate the type of veterans' preference (5-point, 10-point, or 0-point sole survivorship) you are claiming on your resume.
        • We need to preserve details about CTAP/ICTAP eligibility conditions; but we can summarize? The rule: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the details, not just a summary. However we can keep the details as list items but they are long. We could embed the full sentences as list items. Let's extract the CTAP paragraph: "The Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) provides eligible surplus and displaced competitive service employees in the Department of Justice with selection priority over other candidates for competitive service vacancies. If your Department of Justice component has notified you in writing that you are a surplus or displaced employee eligible for CTAP consideration, you may receive selection priority if: 1) this vacancy is within your CTAP eligibility, 2) you apply under the instructions in this announcement, and 3) you are found well-qualified for this vacancy. To be well qualified, you must satisfy all qualification requirements for the vacant position and rate equivalent to the Highly Qualified or better category using established category rating criteria. You must provide a copy of your written notification of CTAP eligibility with your application. Additional information about CTAP eligibility is" It ends abruptly; but we can keep as is. Similarly ICTAP paragraph. We
