for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.
We need to extract duties, responsibilities, etc. The posting includes a "Duties" paragraph with many sentences. Also "Work Schedule: Full time, Monday through Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm Compressed/Flexible: Available Telework: ...". So schedule info present. Benefits? There's a paragraph about benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's generic but still mentions benefits. It says "Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." This is somewhat generic but still mentions benefits. However, we should only include Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does mention benefits package but not specifics. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits package generically, but not specifics. Might be considered stating them? It says "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's a statement about benefits. So we could include Benefits section with that prose. However, we must avoid filler placeholder like "commensurate with experience". This is not placeholder. So we can include Benefits.
Pay: No mention of salary/pay. So we should NOT create Pay section.
Schedule: Yes, we have work schedule details. So include Schedule section.
Requirements: There's a "Conditions of employment" and "Additional Conditions Of Employment". Also "Requirements Conditions of employment Required". This includes citizenship, selective service, probationary period, background investigation, onboarding, ID requirements. Also "Additional Conditions Of Employment Are As Follows". So we can put Requirements section with those details.
Qualifications: There's a "Qualifications" heading with time-in-grade, specialized experience, volunteer experience, full vs part-time, physical requirements, education note. So Qualifications section.
Duties: The initial "Duties" paragraph. Could be under Responsibilities heading. Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use "Responsibilities" for duties. Or "Duties" but they gave examples; we can use Responsibilities.
We also have "Skills"? Not explicit. Could skip.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from duties paragraph, conditions, qualifications, schedule, benefits.
We must format duties as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties paragraph is a series of sentences; we could split each sentence into a list item. That would preserve info. Similarly for requirements (conditions) we can list each condition as list items. For qualifications we can list each requirement as list items.
We need to avoid duplicating lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info.
Let's extract duties sentences:
"Plans work to be accomplished by subordinates, sets and adjust short and long-range staffing plans to meet the forecasted mission requirements and changes in critical competencies."
"Evaluates work performance of subordinates; give advice, counsel, or instructions to employees on both work and administrative matters; interviews candidates for positions in the unit."
"Hears and resolves complaints from employees, referring group grievances and more serious unresolved complaints to a higher-level supervisor or manager."
"Provides comprehensive advice on the full range of human resource management functions to the Director, Assistant Directors, Division Chiefs, Managers, Supervisors HR Staff, and employees."
"Conducts data reviews and analyzes data results, identifying any data trends and making recommendations for updating or creating new processes and procedures to help increase workflow."
"Researches and responds to a variety of time sensitive information requests (Taskers) from the Director's Office."
"Recommends selections for subordinate nonsupervisory positions."
"Finds and implements ways to eliminate or reduce significant bottlenecks and barriers to production and promoting team building."
That's 8 items.
Now schedule: "Work Schedule: Full time, Monday through Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm Compressed/Flexible: Available Telework: This position is eligible for situational (ad hoc) telework only. The selectee is required to report to the official duty station each scheduled workday. Telework may be approved only on a case-by-case basis with supervisory approval. Routine or recurring telework is not authorized for this position. Virtual: This is not a remote/virtual position."
We can put schedule as
prose or list? It's not a list but we can keep as
. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So schedule is prose.
Now benefits paragraph: "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 that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered."
We can put as
prose.
Now requirements (conditions of employment): Let's extract:
"As a condition of employment for accepting this position, you may be required to serve a 1-year supervisory probationary period during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest. In determining if your employment advances the public interest, we may consider: your performance and conduct; the needs and interests of the Agency; whether your continued employment would advance organizational goals of the Agency or the Government; and whether your continued employment would advance the efficiency of the Federal service. Upon completion of your 1-year supervisory probationary period, your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest."
"Additional Conditions Of Employment Are As Follows You must be a U.S. Citizen to apply for this job Selective Service Registration is required for males born after 12/31/1959 You may be required to serve a 1-year probationary period Subject to background/security investigation Selected applicants will be required to complete an online onboarding process. Acceptable form(s) of identification will be required to complete pre-employment requirements Effective May 7, 2025, driver's licenses or state-issued identification cards that are not REAL ID compliant cannot be utilized as an acceptable form of identification for employment."
We need to split into list items. Some sentences are run together; we can separate by periods.
Let's list:
- You may be required to serve a 1-year supervisory probationary period during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest.
- In determining if your employment advances the public interest, we may consider: your performance and conduct; the needs and interests of the Agency; whether your continued employment would advance organizational goals of the Agency or the Government; and whether your continued employment would advance the efficiency of the Federal service.
- Upon completion of your 1-year supervisory probationary period, your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest.
- You must be a U.S. Citizen to apply for this job.
- Selective Service Registration is required for males born after 12/31/1959.
- You may be required to serve a 1-year probationary period. (Note duplicate? Already have supervisory probationary period; but it's a separate condition maybe generic probationary period. We'll keep.)
- Subject to background/security investigation.
- Selected applicants will be required to complete an online onboarding process.
- Acceptable form(s) of identification will be required to complete pre-employment requirements.
- Effective May 7, 2025, driver's licenses or state-issued identification cards that are not REAL ID compliant cannot be utilized as an acceptable form of identification for employment.
We might combine duplicate probationary period but keep both as they appear.
Now qualifications: Extract details:
"TIME-IN-GRADE REQUIREMENT: As a current Federal, GS employee you must meet time-in-grade requirements by the closing date of this announcement. For a GS-13 position, you must have served 52 weeks at the GS-12 level. If you are a current VBA employee requesting a reassignment or change to lower grade via this vacancy announcement, you must currently hold the GS-13 (or higher) and the promotion potential of your current position must be at least GS-13. The grade may have been in any occupation, but must have been held in the Federal service. An SF-50 that shows your time-in-grade eligibility must be submitted with your application materials. If the most recent SF-50 has an effective date within the past year, it may not clearly demonstrate you possess one-year time-in-grade, as required by the announcement. In this instance, you must provide an additional SF-50 that clearly demonstrates one-year time-in-grade."
"MINIMUM QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: You may qualify based on your experience as described below: Specialized Experience: To qualify, applicants must have at least one year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level or higher. Specialized experience is defined as applying and providing guidance on multiple fields of Human Resources rules, regulations, and procedures including Personnel Management, Recruitment and Staffing, Classification, Employee Benefits and Labor Relations. Examples of specialized experience would typically include, but are not limited to: Provide advice and guidance in the areas of staffing and recruitment; Defending agency actions in front of 3rd party hearing (FLRA, MSPB); Experience as the chief negotiator in labor negotiations."
"Volunteer Experience: Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religions; spiritual; community; student; social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience."
"Full vs. Part-Time Employment: Full-time employment is considered to be at least 35 hours per week. Part-time experience will be credited on a pro-rated basis; when including part-time employment in your resume you must specify the average hours worked per week."
"Physical Requirements: The work normally involves mental rather than physical exertion. The work is mostly sedentary; however, there may be some walking, standing, and carrying of light items."
"Education Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For this job, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted."
We can break into list items.
Now also there is "Additional information" about CTAP, Placement Policy, Veterans, etc. That's more info but maybe not required to include? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that as well, maybe under a section like "Additional Information". But we only have allowed headings list: About the role
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
