Building Custodian I - Sandburg - 1.0 FTE - 26-27 SY
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists,
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading (page already shows it)
- Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop
- Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
- Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
- Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
- Output ONLY HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Now, I need to map the content to appropriate sections.
The posting has:
- Pay information: "Starting Compensation: $32.20 Hourly Wage (26-27 Salary Schedule)" -> This is Pay section.
- Schedule: "Hours of Employment: Monday - Friday, 6:30 AM - 2:30 PM" -> Schedule section.
- Employment Type: Non-Exempt (could be part of Pay or Schedule, but maybe include in Pay or a separate line)
- Deadline: "Initial Deadline for Internal Applicants: October 29, 2026" -> This is application deadline, but the rules say remove application instructions. However, deadline might be considered metadata. The rule says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." I'll include it in a short paragraph maybe in an "About the role" or separate? But the rule says do not put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings. Deadline is not a heading. I'll include it in a short paragraph at the top or in a "Details" section? But the allowed headings are specific: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. I should use those headings only when there is content.
Let's see: The posting has "Purpose Of The Position" which is essentially "About the role". Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities. "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Required" -> Skills (or Requirements). "Minimum Qualifications" -> Qualifications. "Working Conditions" and "Physical Requirements" could be combined into a "Requirements" or "Working Conditions" section? The allowed headings include "Requirements" but not "Working Conditions". However, the rule says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "Requirements" for working conditions and physical requirements? Or maybe "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications, and "Requirements" for knowledge/skills/abilities? But "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities" is a separate list. The rule says "Skills" is a heading. So we can have "Skills" for that list. "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications. "Responsibilities" for essential duties. "About the role" for purpose. "Pay" for compensation. "Schedule" for hours. "Benefits" if mentioned. The posting mentions "great compensation package. Visit our benefits page and compensation page for more information." That's not specific benefits, just a reference. The rule says never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. So no Benefits section.
Also "Supervisory Responsibilities" could be part of Responsibilities or About the role.
"Next Steps" is application instructions -> remove.
"Disclaimer" and EEO boilerplate -> remove.
"Working Conditions" and "Physical Requirements" are specific content. They could go under "Requirements" heading? But "Requirements" might be confused with qualifications. The allowed headings include "Requirements". I think "Requirements" can encompass working conditions and physical requirements. However, the rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I could combine Working Conditions and Physical Requirements into a "Requirements" section. But also "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities" is a list of required skills. That could be "Skills". "Minimum Qualifications" is "Qualifications". So we have:
- About the role (Purpose of the Position)
- Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Responsibilities, plus Supervisory Responsibilities)
- Skills (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Required)
- Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications)
- Requirements (Working Conditions, Physical Requirements)
- Pay (Starting Compensation)
- Schedule (Hours of Employment)
Also the metadata: Employment Type, Deadline. Could be included in a short paragraph at the top or in Pay/Schedule. I'll include them in a short paragraph before sections, maybe as a "Details" paragraph? But the rule says do not put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So I can create a
with the metadata: "Non-Exempt position. Internal application deadline: October 29, 2026." But the rule says output only HTML fragment, no extra wrappers. I can start with a
for metadata, then sections.
But the rule says "use
for section headings". It doesn't forbid a leading
. I'll include a brief introductory paragraph with the metadata.
Now, let's structure the HTML.
First, a paragraph with metadata:
Non-Exempt position. Starting compensation: $32.20 hourly (2026-27 salary schedule). Internal application deadline: October 29, 2026. Hours: Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM–2:30 PM.
Then sections:
