Need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, etc. Also include the mission paragraph etc.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statement, accessibility line, apply link, hashtag, etc. Also remove "Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri) Environmental Conditions Office" maybe we keep as schedule and environment? Actually schedule is separate; environmental conditions office maybe not needed as a section; we could include schedule only. The environment maybe not needed; but we could include as a short paragraph under About the role? Probably not needed. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop "Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri) Environmental Conditions Office" as metadata? But schedule is needed for Schedule section. So we extract schedule: Standard (Mon-Fri). Environmental Conditions Office maybe not needed; we could drop.
