Click here to learn more about how we promote Equal Opportunity and Diversity and Inclusion at Benco. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Remove application instructions (like "Click here to learn more..."). We need to keep location, semester, description, responsibilities, requirements, skills/attributes, benefits, "Who We Are" maybe as About the role? Actually "About the role" could be the initial description. The posting includes: "Location: Pittston, PA Benco Dental is searching for a Communications Intern for the Spring 2027 semester." That's location and timeframe. Then "At Benco Dental, our company is our family..." That's about company. Then "The Communications Intern will support..." That's role description. Then "What’s in it for You?" list of benefits. Then "Do YOU Possess These Skills and Attributes?" list of skills. Then "Do These Responsibilities Interest YOU?" list of responsibilities. Then "Do YOU Meet These Requirements?" list of requirements. Then "Who We Are:" description of company. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Benefits: "What’s in it for You?" includes Paid-Internship, Mentorship and Networking Opportunities, Opportunity to Gain Valuable Work Experience and Consideration for Full-Time Employment, Caring Family Culture Toward All Associates, Certified as a FORTUNE Great Place to Work, Opportunities to Build a Better Benco through Diversity and Inclusion Resource Groups, Family owned for 90+ years. Those are benefits. Pay: Not mentioned explicitly. No pay amount. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific pay. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly besides ability to work 15 hours per week (that's schedule). Could treat as Schedule? The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It states "Ability to work 15 hours per week". That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. However the rule says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine schedule into Requirements? But schedule is a separate heading allowed. Could include Schedule

Schedule

Ability to work 15 hours per week.

. That seems appropriate. Qualifications: Might be same as Requirements? Usually qualifications include education, etc. We have Requirements: Must be currently enrolled in a Communications, Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations undergraduate or graduate program; Ability to work 15 hours per week; Must be local to the Pittston, PA area to work onsite. Those are qualifications/requirements. Could put them under Requirements heading. Could also have Qualifications separate but we can combine. Skills: The "Do YOU Possess These Skills and Attributes?" list is skills. Responsibilities: The "Do These Responsibilities Interest YOU?" list. About the role: Could be the initial description: location, semester, role description, company mission? Might be better to have About the role covering: The Communications Intern will support Benco Dental’s internal communications and digital media efforts. This role will gain hands-on experience creating content, researching and writing stories, supporting social media, and contributing to communications across Benco Dental and the broader 1930 Ventures portfolio. The ideal candidate is a strong writer, creative thinker, and team player with an interest in storytelling, social media, and communications. Also include location and semester? Possibly include location and semester in a short paragraph. We need to avoid repeating job title. Not include "Communications Intern" as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly Qualifications not needed if we put education under Requirements. But we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate: Requirements: Must be local, ability to work 15 hrs; Qualifications: enrolled in program. However the rule says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine into Requirements. Let's decide sections: - About the role (description of role and company mission) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (list: enrollment, local, 15 hrs) - Skills (list) - Benefits (list) - Schedule (maybe not needed if we included 15 hrs in Requirements). Actually schedule is the 15 hrs per week. Could be part of Requirements. But we already have ability to work 15 hrs per week as a requirement. So we could keep that in Requirements and not have separate Schedule. That reduces sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. Check if any Pay info: none. Now we need to extract content precisely, preserving all substantive info, not inventing. Let's gather About the role content: From posting: "Location: Pittston, PA Benco Dental is searching for a Communications Intern for the Spring 2027 semester. At Benco Dental, our company is our family, and we are looking for a new addition to assist us in Driving Dentistry Forward. Please review the description below to ensure that this position is the perfect match for you! The Communications Intern will support Benco Dental’s internal communications and digital media efforts. This role will gain hands-on experience creating content, researching and writing stories, supporting social media, and contributing to communications across Benco Dental and the broader 1930 Ventures portfolio. The ideal candidate is a strong writer, creative thinker, and team player with an interest in storytelling, social media, and communications." We should not repeat the job title as heading, but we can mention it in prose. It's okay. We need to remove boilerplate like "Please review the description below to ensure that this position is the perfect match for you!" That's maybe fluff but it's part of description. It's not boilerplate like EEO. It's okay to keep? It's generic but not disallowed. The rule: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That line is not those. Keep. But we might want to keep location and semester. Thus About the role paragraph(s) could be:

We removed "Please review the description below to ensure that this position is the perfect match for you!" maybe it's okay to keep but it's filler. Might be considered boilerplate? Not exactly.
