We need to output HTML fragment with sections: duties, requirements, qualifications, maybe benefits, pay, schedule only if present. The posting includes duties (list), requirements (conditions of employment), qualifications (basic requirements, specialized experience, selective placement factors, education). Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits but it's generic: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." It's not specific; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits but not specific details; it's generic. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention benefits but not specifics; it's vague. Likely we should not create Benefits section because it's not specific. Pay and Schedule not present. So we will have sections: Duties (maybe heading "Responsibilities" or "Duties"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We have duties list; we can use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We have duties list; we can use Responsibilities
or Duties
. Probably "Responsibilities". Then Requirements: conditions of employment. Then Qualifications: education, specialized experience, selective placement factors. Possibly also Skills? Not needed.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like How to Apply, Required Documents, EEO, etc. Also remove navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to extract duties list: bullet points from "Duties As an Instructor (Vision Care), GS-1701-11, your typical work assignments may include the following under supervision:" then list items separated by periods? Actually they are sentences. We need to convert to - . Each duty is a sentence. Let's list them:
- Demonstrate instructional skills that include the ability to explain difficult concepts and the ability to engage students of different abilities and backgrounds in learning course objectives.
- Demonstrate collegial and professional interpersonal skills when interacting with students in class, in the laboratory, office hours, and elsewhere on campus, and with other faculty members, and with college administration.
- Stay current with developments and trends in instructional and pedagogical fields.
- Participate in curriculum committee, student advising and student retention efforts.
- Develop, implement, and maintain records for instruction, including syllabi consistent with course objectives, student proficiency and attendance records, and other materials consistent with course objectives and College policies.
- Develop criteria for testing, assignments, and instructional materials, learning activities, and assessments to evaluate student proficiency.
- Possess technical writing skills for university-level documents such as reports prepared for the College.
Note: There's also a NOTE about delegated examining announcement; that's metadata, we can drop.
Now Requirements (Conditions of employment): list items:
- U.S. Citizenship is required.
- A background security investigation will be required for all new hires. Appointment will be subject to the applicant's successful completion of a background security investigation and favorable adjudication.
- As a condition of employment, you will be required to serve a 2-year trial or 1-year probationary period during which your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest will be evaluated.
- If you are a male applicant born after 12-31-1959, you are required to register under the Military Selective Service Act and the Defense Authorization Act of 1986 (https://www.sss.gov), in order to be eligible for appointment to this agency.
- Driving Requirement (Required only at time of appointment): Incumbent may be required, as an incidental duty, to operate a government-owned or leased motor vehicle, in the performance of duties, therefore, a valid driver's license is required.
Also there is "Be sure to read the 'How to Apply' and 'Required Documents' Sections." That's boilerplate; remove.
Now Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements (Degree etc), Specialized Experience, Selective Placement Factors, Education, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
Basic Requirements:
- Degree: that included or was supplemented by major study in education or in a subject-matter field of optics or in pre-med or biological sciences.
- OR Combination of education and experience -- courses equivalent to a major in education, or in a subject-matter field appropriate to the position, plus appropriate experience or additional course work that provided knowledge comparable to that normally acquired through the successful completion of the 4-year course of study described in A above.
Then: In addition to meeting the Basic Requirement, you must also meet the Minimum Qualifications requirements below.
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: description:
- Experience that equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform successfully the duties of the position, and that is typically in or related to the work of the position to be filled. To be creditable, specialized experience must have been equivalent to at least the next lower grade level in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization GS-11: Applicant meets the basic education requirement and possess one (1) year of specialized experience that equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully perform the duties of this position. This experience is related to the work of the position and equivalent to at least the GS-09 level in the Federal service that includes: serving as an Instructor in a college or equivalent education institution developing, researching, preparing and administering course syllabi and materials, labs and activities; delivering lectures and presentation; and evaluating students' progress on standards based courses in Education; collaborating with faculty on maintaining accreditation requirements; developing culturally relevant material; serving on or providing leadership to committees within a postsecondary context.
- OR Applicant meets the basic education requirement and possess 3 years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree or Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree, in a field related to the position.
- OR A combination of progressively higher-level graduate education and experience. When combining education with experience, first determine the total qualifying education as a percentage of education required for the grade level; then determine the experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; finally, add the two percentages. Total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify for the grade level.
SELECTIVE PLACEMENT FACTORS:
- In addition to the specialized experience applicant must possess the additional knowledge, skills, and abilities requirements. Applicants must possess current certification from the American Board of Opticianry (ABO Certification) or equivalent (e.g. licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist) and be licensed in the state in which the program is located or licensed in the state of residence.
Time-In-Grade Requirements: Merit Promotion (status) candidates must have completed one year (52 weeks) of service at the next lower grade level. All qualification requirements must be met by the closing date of this announcement.
Education:
- EDUCATION: Transcripts MUST be uploaded and electronically linked from USAJOBS at the time you apply and MUST include identifying information to include School Name, Student Name, credit hours, major, and grade-point average or class ranking, degree and date awarded.
- All academic degrees and coursework must be completed at a college or university that has obtained accreditation or pre-accreditation status from an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE).
- Applicants are responsible for providing documentation that the educational requirements have been met.
- To qualify based on education you must submit a legible copy of your transcripts.
- Official transcripts are required upon selection if you qualified based on education.
- Education must have been obtained from an accredited or pre-accredited institution recognized by the U.S. DOE (click Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the above requirements if you can show that the foreign education is comparable to that received in an accredited educational institution in the U.S. (click
We need to preserve all substantive info; but we should remove duplicated lines and boilerplate like "click" etc. The "(click" seems like placeholder for a link; we can keep the text before "(click". Probably we should remove the "(click" and following. The sentence: "Education must have been obtained from an accredited or pre-accredited institution recognized by the U.S. DOE (click Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the above requirements if you can show that the foreign education is comparable to that received in an accredited educational institution in the U.S. (click". This seems garbled. We'll keep the meaningful part: "Education must have been obtained from an accredited or pre-accredited institution recognized by the U.S. DOE." and maybe "Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the above requirements if you can show that the foreign education is comparable to that received in an accredited educational institution in the U.S." We'll keep that.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly also Skills? Not needed.
We'll wrap each section in
heading then content: for Responsibilities and Requirements and Qualifications we can use - for lists. For paragraphs we can use
.
Let's craft.
Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Requirements: Requirements
- ... each condition
Qualifications: This is more complex; we have multiple subparts. Could break into subheadings? But instruction only says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have a single Qualifications section with subcontent possibly using
and
. We'll include paragraphs for each major part: Basic Requirements, Specialized Experience, Selective Placement Factors, Time-In-Grade Requirements, Education.
We must preserve all substantive info; we can use for prose and
- for lists where appropriate.
Let's extract lists:
Basic Requirements: two options (Degree OR Combination). Could present as
- Degree: ...
- OR Combination of education and experience: ...
Specialized Experience: three options (1 year experience, 3 years graduate education, combination). Could present as - ...
Selective Placement Factors: one item (ABO certification and license). Could be - ...
Time-In-Grade Requirements: one item.
Education: multiple bullet points; we can list as - ...
We'll avoid repeating "OR" inside list items; just list each option.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "NOTE: Position is also being advertised under delegated examining announcement..." remove.
Also remove "Be sure to read the 'How to Apply' and 'Required Documents' Sections." remove.
Also remove "Initial appointments to the competitive or excepted service: ..." that's boilerplate about probationary period; but that is part of Requirements? Actually it's after Qualifications? It's more about probationary period; but we already covered probationary period in Requirements. The later paragraph about probationary/trial period is duplicate; we can remove as duplicated lines.
Also remove "Bargaining Unit Status: Position is covered by Bargaining Unit/Union - Federation of Indian Service Employees, American Federation of Teachers Local 4521." That's maybe not required but could be considered metadata; but it's substantive? It's about union; maybe we can keep as part of Requirements? Not sure. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Bargaining unit status is not boilerplate; it's info about employment. Could keep. But we already have Requirements section; we could add a bullet about Bargaining Unit Status. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be
