- Special Instructions to Applicants: about AHP Letter etc. This is application instructions; we should remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we need to remove Special Instructions to Applicants.
- Additional Information: about restricted classified position, probationary period, benefits, background check statement, EEO statement, ADA statement, E-Verify statement, Quicklink for Posting. These are boilerplate/legal; we should remove them.
Thus we keep substantive content: role description, responsibilities, requirements/qualifications, skills, pay, schedule, telework maybe? Telework is a benefit? Could be included in Benefits or maybe as a note. The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. Pay: yes, hiring range $70k-75k. Schedule: yes, Monday-Friday 8am-5pm or as needed. Benefits: posting mentions "The VCCS offers competitive compensation along with excellent benefits and opportunity for career development." That's a generic statement but still mentions benefits. However we should avoid filler like "excellent benefits" maybe considered vague but it's still a statement about benefits. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "excellent benefits and opportunity for career development" is not placeholder; it's a statement. So we could include Benefits section with that sentence.
But also we have telework options: yes. Could be part of Benefits or maybe separate? Not a standard heading; we could include under Benefits or maybe under Schedule? Probably Benefits.
We also have "Work Location Chesterfield - 041". Could be part of About the role? Might include location in About the role.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. So we start with maybe
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.

We need to not repeat job title as heading. So we start with maybe About the role
then a paragraph summarizing the role description (the paragraphs about VCCS and role). Must preserve all substantive information; we should not omit details like the VCCS history, etc. So we need to include that descriptive text.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties from description: maintaining integrity and structure of constituent and fundraising data; developing reports, dashboards, and analytics; supporting and configuring Salesforce for advancement operations; translating fundraising and business needs into effective data processes and solutions; providing prospect and portfolio analytics; supporting gift and pledge reconciliation; establishing data standards and procedures; training advancement staff in effective use of Salesforce; also special assignments: may be required to perform other duties as assigned; may be required to assist agency or state government generally in event of emergency declaration.
We need to put these in - .
Requirements: maybe combine KSA's and Education And Experience Required? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = education/experience; Skills = specific abilities. We have KSA's list (knowledge, skills, abilities). Also Education And Experience Required: combination of relevant education and experience; experience indicating knowledge and ability; Nonprofit prospect research experience. Additional Considerations: Experience With Salesforce Education Cloud, DonorSearch, Prospect research tools.
We could put:
- Requirements: maybe the KSA's list (the bullet points). Or we could split: Requirements = experience and education; Qualifications = KSA's; Skills = specific technical skills (Salesforce, etc). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one Requirements section with all bullet points? But we have three headings allowed; we need to use them only if we have content. Could do:
Requirements
with bullet list of KSA's (the required qualifications).
Qualifications
with bullet list of Education And Experience Required plus Additional Considerations.
Skills
maybe not needed if we already covered skills in Requirements; but we could list specific technical skills: Salesforce administration, query/report generation, prospect research tools, data analysis, etc. However that may be redundant.
Better: Use Requirements for the KSA's (knowledge, skills, abilities). Use Qualifications for education/experience. Use Skills for specific technical competencies (Salesforce, prospect research tools, data analysis, reporting). But we need to ensure we don't create thin sections.
Let's extract:
KSA's/Required Qualifications bullet points:
- Experience in Salesforce, including the ability to make database system modifications, produce queries and reports, and update records.
- Knowledge and understanding of best practices in Salesforce administration and management.
- Demonstrated ability to perform research on individuals, foundations and corporations at a high level using a variety of resources.
- Understand what constitutes relevant and strategic information and how to analyze the data to support prospect development.
- Proficient in conceptualizing and developing proactive prospecting methodologies to support organizational goals and understand the role of prospect research in a sophisticated development program.
- Knowledge of current trends in prospect management, prospect research, and fundraising campaigns.
- Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills, including strong written and verbal skills.
- Ability to appropriately handle confidential and sensitive information with the highest professional and ethical standards.
Education And Experience Required:
- A combination of relevant education and experience that provide the required level of knowledge, skills and ability to successfully perform the functions of the job requirements.
- Experience indicating knowledge and ability to successfully perform functions defined.
- Nonprofit prospect research experience.
Additional Considerations:
- Experience With Salesforce Education Cloud
- DonorSearch
- Prospect research tools
Operation of a State Vehicle: No (maybe not needed)
Supervises Employees: No
Required Travel: Travel as required.
We could include Travel as required under Responsibilities or maybe a separate note but not a heading.
We need to include Pay section: hiring range $70,000 - $75,000 annual.
Schedule section: Monday – Friday 8 AM – 5 PM or as needed.
Benefits section: "The VCCS offers competitive compensation along with excellent benefits and opportunity for career development." Also telework options: Yes (subject to change). Could include telework under Benefits.
We also have Work Location: Chesterfield - 041. Could include in About the role.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO, ADA, E-Verify, background check statement, etc. Also remove Special Instructions to Applicants, Additional Information, Posting Number, Recruitment Type, Number of Vacancies, Position End Date, Job Open/Close Date, Open Until Filled, Agency Website, Contact Name, Email, Phone Number, Quicklink for Posting. Also remove "Working Title Advancement Services and Prospect Research Manager Role Title Prog Admin Specialist II Role Code 19212-SW FLSA Exempt Pay Band 05 Position Number 261R0037 Agency VCCS-System Office Division System Office (Div) Work Location Chesterfield - 041 Hiring Range $70,000 - $75,000 annual Emergency/Essential Personnel No EEO Category 5-Paraprofessionals Full Time or Part Time Full Time Does this position have telework options? -Telework options are subject to change based on business needs- Yes Does this position have a bilingual or multilingual skill requirement or preference? No Work Schedule Monday – Friday 8 AM – 5 PM or as needed. Sensitive Position No". That's a lot of metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top with some metadata like location, telework, schedule, pay? But we already have sections for Pay, Schedule, Benefits. So we could drop the metadata lines and just include the substantive content.
Thus final HTML:

We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the VCCS description and role purpose.
Original VCCS description: "Virginia’s community colleges have a 50-year track record of educational excellence and innovation to serve the needs of our citizens and strengthen the Commonwealth’s economy. When Virginia’s General Assembly established the Virginia Community College System in 1966, the need for a comprehensive system was well known. Over the two decades after the end of World War II, leaders in government, business, professional sectors, and academia had called for a new approach to providing educational opportunity.
