- ... essential functions items ... ... plus nonessential functions items maybe combined. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point from essential functions and nonessential functions. However we can group them as list items; we must not lose detail. Essential functions list includes percentages; we should keep them? The percentages are part of detail. We'll keep them. Essential functions: - Dust all flat and vertical surfaces and windowsills daily.

May be assigned other duties as required. (10%) - Perform other similar duties as assigned. (1%) We need to keep all these as list items. Contacts maybe not needed as separate section; could be part of About the role? But we have no specific heading for Contacts; we could include in About the role paragraph? But we must preserve all substantive information. Could add a
under About the role that includes contacts? However About the role is for position objective; we could add another section like "Contacts" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed; we should not create other headings. So we need to fit contacts into existing sections: maybe under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role can include a brief description plus contacts. But we must not lose detail. Could add a paragraph after objective that includes contacts. Alternatively we could create a section "About the role" and include objective and contacts as paragraphs. Qualifications: Experience: 3 years required. Education: High school required. Skills: list of abilities. Benefits: comprehensive benefits package includes excellent healthcare, retirement plans, tuition assistance, paid time off, and a winter recess. Pay: Starting wage rate is $16.00 per hour, depending on qualifications, experience, department budgets, and industry data. Schedule: Typical shifts are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. or 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. or assigned shift. Overtime and emergency hours may be required. The university is a non-smoking environment. Working Conditions: Must be able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds; engage in frequent walking, standing, bending, stretching, and stair climbing; and operate power equipment such as high-speed buffers. Must be able to pass the required physical examination. The working environment may have occasional exposure to potential biological hazards. We could put Working Conditions under Requirements? But we have a specific heading for Requirements; we could include experience/education there. Or we could put Working Conditions under Requirements as well. However the instructions: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we must map content to these headings. We need to decide where each piece goes. - About the role: position objective + maybe contacts. - Responsibilities: essential + nonessential functions. - Requirements: maybe experience and education? Or maybe "Requirements" is for mandatory qualifications like experience, education, physical ability? But we also have Qualifications heading; maybe Qualifications is for preferred qualifications? However we have both; we need to split. Given typical job postings: Qualifications often include experience and education; Skills separate. Requirements sometimes include physical requirements, etc. But we can decide: - Requirements: Experience: 3 years required; Education: High school required. - Qualifications: maybe the list of abilities (must be able to read and follow instructions, etc.)? Actually those are "Required Skills". So Skills heading for those. - Benefits: benefits package. - Pay: starting wage. - Schedule: typical shifts, overtime, non-smoking. - Working Conditions: maybe could go under Requirements? But we have no heading for Working Conditions; we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications? The instructions say to include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. We have content for Working Conditions; we need to place it somewhere. Could put under Requirements (as physical requirements) or under Qualifications. But we already have Requirements for experience/education; we could add a sub-list under Requirements for physical requirements. That seems okay. Alternatively we could create a section "Requirements" that includes both experience/education and physical requirements. Then "Qualifications" could be empty? But we must not create empty sections. So we need to decide distribution such that each heading we use has content. We have content for: - About the role: objective + contacts. - Responsibilities: essential + nonessential. - Requirements: experience, education, physical requirements (lifting, etc.), maybe also ability to pass physical exam. - Qualifications: maybe the list of abilities like "Must be able to read and follow instructions..." etc. Actually those are skills; but we have Skills heading for that. So Qualifications could be something else? The posting has "Qualifications Experience: 3 years of experience required. Education: High school education required." That's more like qualifications. Then "Required Skills" list. So we can map: Qualifications: Experience and Education. Skills: Required Skills list. Thus Requirements could be physical/working conditions? But we have no explicit "Requirements" heading in the posting; but we can still use it for physical/working conditions. Thus: - Requirements: Physical requirements (lifting 50 lbs, walking, standing, etc., operate power equipment, pass physical exam, exposure to biological hazards, typical shifts? Actually shifts go to Schedule). We'll put physical requirements here. - Schedule: typical shifts, overtime, emergency hours, non-smoking. - Benefits: benefits package. - Pay: starting wage. Thus we have all headings used. Now About the role: include position objective and contacts. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Custodial Services strives to provide high quality, customer service-oriented cleaning services to the university community. Building service workers provide routine and special cleaning services in campus buildings and residence halls, including restrooms, bathrooms, offices, classrooms, laboratories, and public areas. The nature and frequency of cleaning is performed according to Custodial Services' Quality Control Program." Then maybe a second paragraph for contacts: "Department: Daily contact with colleagues to maintain workflow. University: Occasional contact with staff outside of Student Affairs to exchange information. External: Limited or no contact with outside customers to exchange information. Students: Daily contact with students at all levels to exchange information." We'll keep as
elements. Now Responsibilities:
