We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting.

Also mention Career Transition Programs (CTAP or ICTAP) etc. That's additional info but maybe we can include under Additional information? However we only have set headings; we could put that under "Additional information" but not in list. The instruction says use headings only from given list; we should not create extra headings. So we may need to incorporate that info into existing sections like About the role or Responsibilities? Probably we can put under "About the role" a paragraph summarizing the role and mention commitments etc. Or we could put under "Qualifications" the specialized experience details. "Requirements" for conditions of employment. "Responsibilities" for duties. "Benefits" maybe mention benefits package? The posting mentions: "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." That's generic but still mentions benefits. However instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits package, albeit generic. So we can include Benefits section with that statement. Pay and Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could infer from qualifications but better not to create Skills unless explicit. The posting does not have a separate Skills section. So we omit Skills. Thus sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (specialized experience and education), Benefits (benefits package). Possibly also include "Additional information" but not in list; we could incorporate into About the role or Qualifications. Let's incorporate the commitment statements into About the role. Now produce HTML:

maybe also subpoints. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any required details. Let's extract details precisely. About the role: - Position located in Office of Field Operations, Special Operations Division (SOD), Enforcement Support Branch (ESB), Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP). - Incumbent serves as Regional Victim Witness Coordinator (RVWC) performing a variety of victim witness coordination duties in support of Field Operations and is assigned to provide training and technical assistance to the VWAP. - 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. That's all. Responsibilities (duties): We need to list duties for both GS-12 and GS-13? The posting says major duties of Victim Witness Program Specialist at GS-12 include, but not limited to: Provide direct victim services to crime victims and training and support to field agents to ensure victims are being afforded their due rights and services. Monitor case management system and the Victim Notification System for updates. Work under the direction of the National Program Manager to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services. For GS-13: Provide direct victim services to crime victims and training and support to field agents to ensure victims are being afforded their due rights and services. Monitor case management system and the Victim Notification System for updates. Work independently to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services. Additionally, the specialized experience sections include extra duties but those are qualifications not responsibilities. However we could include them under Responsibilities? Might be better to keep responsibilities as the duties listed. The specialized experience is more about qualifications. Thus Responsibilities list: - Provide direct victim services to crime victims and training and support to field agents to ensure victims are being afforded their due rights and services. - Monitor case management system and the Victim Notification System for updates. - Work under the direction of the National Program Manager to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services (GS-12 level). - Work independently to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services (GS-13 level). We could combine as bullet points. Requirements (conditions of employment): - Must be U.S. Citizen or National. - Selective Service registration is required for males born on, or after, December 31st 1959; those not registered should have an approved exemption on file. - Pass drug screen and subject to a random drug test. - Suitable for Federal employment determined by background investigation. - Must meet all applicable time-in-grade requirements by the closing of this announcement. - Financial Disclosure: If selected, you may be required to disclose financial information in accordance with DOJ and Federal ethics guidelines. - Mobility Plan: New employees hired pursuant to this vacancy announcement must sign a mobility agreement. (Explain purpose: enhance career development and progression, achieve mission and business effectiveness; facilitates movement through special short-term assignments or permanent reassignments throughout the Bureau. Applicants who decline to sign a mobility agreement will be removed from the hiring process.) - This is a non-bargaining unit position. We should keep all details. Qualifications: - To qualify for GS-12: at least one year specialized experience at GS-11. - To qualify for GS-13: at least one year specialized experience at GS-12. - Specialized experience is demonstrated experience which has equipped applicant with particular knowledge, skills and abilities to perform successfully the duties of this position. Experience must be in normal line of progression or related to work advertised and reflected in resume. - Specialized Experience Must Include All Of GS-12: (list) - Fundamental knowledge of the DOJ Attorney General Guidelines, the Victims Rights and Restitution Act, and the Crime Victims Rights Act; - Providing direct support and services to victims and witnesses of crimes; - Making oral presentations to large groups; - Working with DOJ's Victim Notification System, or developing and maintaining an equivalent system to track victims. - Specialized Experience Must Include All Of GS-13: (list) - Extensive insight of crisis intervention techniques in order to implement a plan of action to address the needs of large numbers of victims/witnesses of mass casualty and catastrophic events; - Measures program effectiveness and efficiency of procedures; - Creates informational resources needed to advance the program's goals; - Interpreting, explaining, and applying a body of laws, regulations, and procedures; - Participation in community efforts to provide and promote victim assistance and awareness. - Your resume must support your responses to the application questionnaire and the qualification requirements. Failure to do so may result in an ineligible rating. - 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 could also mention the USA Hire assessment: After you submit this application, you will receive an e-mail informing you that a USA Hire assessment is required of you. You will have 48 hours from the closing date of this announcement (10/01/2026) to complete the assessment as this assessment is part of your application. This is part of process but not a qualification; maybe we could put under Requirements? It's a condition of application. Might be considered part of "Requirements" or "Additional information". Since we don't have Additional info heading, we could put under Requirements as a bullet. But it's not a condition of employment; it's part of application process. However we must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps under Qualifications? Not exactly. Could add a paragraph after Qualifications about assessment. Since we cannot create new headings, we can add a

under Qualifications or after Qualifications but before next heading. The instruction: "Use

for section headings ... Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose." So we can have prose paragraphs under each heading. So we can add a paragraph under Qualifications about the assessment. Also there is info about Additional Selections May Be Made From This Announcement, CTAP/ICTAP etc. That's additional info but we could incorporate into Qualifications or About the role? Probably under Qualifications as additional notes. We also have info about Career Transition Programs (CTAP or ICTAP) etc. That's additional info about eligibility for selection priority. Could be placed under Qualifications as a note. We also have EEO statement etc which we must remove (boilerplate). Also Reasonable Accommodation etc - that's boilerplate but maybe considered substantive? It's about accommodation; but it's standard EEO boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove Reasonable Accommodation, EEO Statement/Policy, etc. Also Selective Service
