We need to keep substantive info but remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The above includes many details like probation period, direct deposit, etc. Those are substantive. Also mention of benefits package but not specifics; we might include a Benefits section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's a statement about benefits but not specific. Might be considered stating benefits exist, but not specifics. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits package exists, but not details. I'd lean to not create Benefits section because it's vague and not specific. The rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit Benefits.
Thus we output:
