- Agency Website: TCC.edu
- Contact Name, Email, Phone Number: not provided? Actually they are placeholders.
- Special Instructions to Applicants: about AHP Letter etc. This is application instruction; we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove Special Instructions to Applicants, Background Check Statement Disclaimer, EEO Statement, ADA Statement, E-Verify Statement, Quicklink for Posting, etc. Also remove EEO etc. So we keep only substantive job description, responsibilities, qualifications, pay, schedule, etc.
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could include overview of TCC and role purpose. The posting includes a paragraph about TCC history and mission. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the college". But we can put under "About the role" a brief description: Tidewater Community College has served South Hampton Roads... etc. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: trash removal, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, sweeping, floor stripping and waxing, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, black/white-board cleaning, etc.; room set-up/take-down assistance; other cleaning tasks as assigned; maintain good attendance habits; essential position; may be required to report during closures; may perform other duties as assigned; may assist agency/state government in emergency declaration.
We can put as - items.
- Requirements / Qualifications: KSA's/Required Qualifications: working knowledge of principles and practices of janitorial, custodial, housekeeping services, sanitizing techniques; knowledge of custodial operations and industry standards; ability to lift objects not more than 50 lbs; experience in janitorial, custodial, or housekeeping program/environment. Additional Considerations: experience within a multi-building housekeeping operation, preferred. Operation of a State Vehicle: No; Supervises Employees: No; Required Travel: No. Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications.
We need to decide which headings to use. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those. We should include only those with real content.
We have Pay: Hiring Range $30,805 to $34,900, commensurate with experience. That's pay info. So we can have a Pay section.
Schedule: Work Schedule 3:00pm – 11:30pm, Monday to Friday with rotating weekends. That's schedule.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section.
Skills: Could be included under Qualifications or Requirements. But we could have a Skills section if we have specific skills: knowledge of custodial operations, ability to lift 50 lbs, etc. However we already have Qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to have Requirements and Qualifications separate? The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We can decide to put core qualifications under Requirements, and additional considerations under Qualifications, or combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one "Requirements" section that includes both required and preferred qualifications.
We also have "About the role" could include the TCC overview.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for the title.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
About the role
Tidewater Community College has served South Hampton Roads – both students and employers – for 50 years. It has grown from 1 campus into a regional educational and economic force. TCC is the largest provider of higher education and workforce services in Hampton Roads, enrolling nearly 25,000 students in 2024-25. Founded in 1968 as a part of the Virginia Community College System, Tidewater Community College (TCC) services South Hampton Roads with 4 campuses in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach, 7 regional centers and 2 important cultural institutions. The college had 3,399 graduates in 2024-2025, 40 percent of whom pursued degrees that would let them transfer to 4-year institutions. Of South Hampton Roads residents enrolled in higher education 33% enrolled at TCC. TCC’s institutional accreditation is affirmed through 2027 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
Responsibilities
- Provides a full range of custodial/housekeeping services for college facilities including trash removal, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, sweeping, floor stripping and waxing, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, black/white-board cleaning, etc.

Pay
Hiring range: $30,805 to $34,900 per year, commensurate with experience.
Schedule
Work schedule: 3:00 pm – 11:30 pm, Monday to Friday with rotating weekends.
We should not include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also we should not include contact info, posting number, etc. Those are minor metadata; we could drop them or fold into a short p. The instruction says: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." So we could optionally include a short paragraph with metadata like Position Number, Agency, Location, etc. But we already have many sections; maybe we can include a brief "About the role" already includes agency info. Could also add a short p after the heading for metadata like "Position Number: 295R0746; Agency: Tidewater Community College; Work Location: Virginia Beach - 810." But that might be considered minor metadata; we could drop it. The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. It's optional. To be safe, we could include a short p after the opening before sections? But we must not repeat job title as heading. We could include a
with metadata like "Position Number: 295R0746 | Agency: Tidewater Community College | Work Location: Virginia Beach - 810". However that might be considered boilerplate? It's factual info from posting. It's not navigation/legal. It's okay. But we already have agency and location in About the role paragraph. Might be redundant. Safer to drop minor metadata.
Thus final HTML fragment includes the sections above.
Check for any prohibited phrases: "commensurate with experience" appears in Pay section; that's allowed because it's actual content. The instruction says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Wait, they say never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So they consider "commensurate with experience" as filler/placeholder text? They list it as example of filler/placeholder text. So we should not have a Pay section heading followed by only that phrase? Actually they say "never emit a heading followed by
