Tribal Victim Assistance Specialist
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings if present.
We have:
- Duties: list of duties. Could map to Responsibilities.
- Requirements: includes Conditions of employment (citizenship, background check, selective service, probation, etc.) That's Requirements.
- Qualifications: GS-9 and GS-11 details.
- Benefits: paragraph about benefits package.
- Pay: not present (no salary). So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Schedule: not present.
- Skills: not explicitly listed; maybe not include.
- About the role: maybe summary? There's a summary paragraph at top: "For more information on the Department of Justice and the United States Attorneys' Offices, visit ... As needed, additional positions may be filled using this announcement. This position is also being announced to applicants eligible to apply through Merit Staffing procedures under 26-NM-13070425-MS." That's more metadata; we could put in About the role? But it's not exactly about the role. Could treat as About the role: brief description. However instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The summary is generic but still content. Could include as About the role
with
containing that summary. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes EEO statement, Political Appointees, Reasonable Accommodation, etc. Those are boilerplate; we must remove them. Also the "Benefits:" paragraph includes some boilerplate but we keep benefits info. However the benefits paragraph includes generic statement: "The Department of Justice offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes, in part, paid vacation; sick leave; holidays; telework; life insurance; health benefits; and participation in the Federal Employees Retirement System." That's specific enough to keep. We also have "Selective Service:" paragraph; that's part of Requirements (conditions of employment). Keep. We have "Relocation Expenses: Payment of relocation expenses will not be authorized. Relocation Incentive: ..." etc. That's not benefits but maybe part of Benefits? Could be considered benefits but it's about relocation incentives. Not explicitly requested; but we could include under Benefits if we want. However instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The relocation info is specific. Could include under Benefits as additional bullet. But we already have benefits paragraph; we could add a
- for benefits: paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, telework, life insurance, health benefits, FEBS, relocation incentive maybe. However we must not invent detail. We have explicit benefits list: paid vacation; sick leave; holidays; telework; life insurance; health benefits; participation in the Federal Employees Retirement System. Also relocation incentives may be authorized if... recruitment incentives may be authorized if... Those are conditional; still specific. We could include them as part of benefits list.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Reasonable Accommodation, Political Appointees, etc.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to extract:
- About the role: maybe the summary paragraph: "For more information on the Department of Justice and the United States Attorneys' Offices, visit http://www.justice.gov/usao/. As needed, additional positions may be filled using this announcement. This position is also being announced to applicants eligible to apply through Merit Staffing procedures under 26-NM-13070425-MS."
But that's more about application process; still could be About the role.
Alternatively we could skip About the role if not substantive. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to omit About the role and just have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits.
Let's decide: include Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (GS-9/GS-11), Benefits (benefits package plus relocation/recruitment incentives). No About the role, Skills, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to format:
- ... each duty as li
Responsibilities
Qualifications
withcontaining the text? But we have lists; better to use
- for each level's conditions.
We need to preserve the specialized experience, education, combination details.
Let's extract GS-9:
Specialized Experience: One full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-07 level in Federal service performing the following types of duties: assisting with ongoing victim-witness communication needs; communicating effectively by utilizing a variety of written media; providing services to vulnerable populations; interacting with Tribal and/or Pueblo communities; and working with law enforcement and community providers.
Education: Master's or equivalent degree in a related field (e.g., Criminal Justice); OR 2 (two) full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading such to a degree OR LL.B or J.D., if related. Education at the graduate level must be in an accredited college or university and must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the duties of the position.
Combination of Education and Experience: Combinations of successfully completed graduate education and experience may be used to meet total qualification requirements. In order to qualify based on a combination, graduate education must be in excess of 1 full year.
GS-11:
Specialized Experience: One full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 level in Federal service performing the following types of duties: coordinating, speaking, and developing training for the agency; providing direction of other victim witness staff; developing a network with federal, tribal, and state prosecution-based victim assistance staff; providing trauma-informed, culturally appropriate services to victims and witnesses of crime.
Education: A Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate degree in a related field (e.g., Criminal Justice), or 3 full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to such a degree OR LL.M if related. Education at the graduate level must be in an accredited college or university and must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the duties of the position.
Combination of Education and Experience: Combinations of successfully completed graduate education and experience may be used to meet total qualification requirements. In order to qualify based on a combination, graduate education must be in excess of 2 full years.
Also there is ICTAP and CTAP sections; those are about selection priority; could be considered Requirements? They are not exactly qualifications but maybe part of Requirements. However they are somewhat boilerplate but specific to the announcement. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. ICTAP/CTAP might be considered part of the announcement but not boilerplate? They are specific programs. Might be considered part of Requirements? However they are about selection priority; could be included under Requirements as additional bullet. But we need to decide if we keep them. They are substantive info about selection priority. I'd keep them under Requirements as additional bullet points.
But we must not include duplicated lines. The ICTAP/CTAP sections have some repeated text; we can condense but must preserve all substantive information. We could summarize? The instruction says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing might be considered summarizing away detail. Better to keep the details as is, but we can put them as
paragraphs. However the ICTAP/CTAP sections are lengthy; but they are part of the announcement. The instruction says remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. ICTAP/CTAP are not EEO; they are specific programs. I'd keep them. But we must also remove "Additional information Relocation Expenses: Payment of relocation expenses will not be authorized. Relocation Incentive: Recruitment incentives may be authorized if this position is determined to be difficult to fill, if supported by the skills of the selected candidate, and subject to the availability of funds." Actually there are two separate: Relocation Incentive and Recruitment Incentive. We'll keep them under Benefits. Now Benefits: we have paragraph: "Benefits: The Department of Justice offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes, in part, paid vacation; sick leave; holidays; telework; life insurance; health benefits; and participation in the Federal Employees Retirement System." Also there is "Selective Service:" paragraph (already under Requirements). Also "Reasonable Accommodation Statement:" etc (remove
