2. Use - for lists,
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat job title as heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
5. Preserve ALL substantive information
6. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
7. Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it
8. Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
9. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
10. Output ONLY HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the content:
The posting has:
- "About The Role & Program" - describes the internship program
- "Required Materials" - portfolio, writing samples, preferred area of placement
- "Areas of Placement" - lists 6 specific teams with locations and descriptions
- "What You Will Do" - responsibilities broken into categories (Writing & Content Creation, Visual & Creative Production, Public Relations & Public Affairs, Events & Project Management)
- "Please Apply If You Have" - required skills/qualifications
- "It Would Also Be Great If You Have" - preferred skills
- "Education" - degree requirements
- "Recruitment Timeline" - dates
- "Eligibility Requirements & Program Information" - specific eligibility criteria
- "Additional Information" - schedule, housing, transportation, Disney Look, housing info
- "Recommendation – Print This Role Description" - boilerplate
- Pay rate mentioned: $23.00 per hour in Orlando
- Benefits mentioned: "Select benefits may be provided as part of the compensation package, such as medical, financial, and/or other benefits."
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. Let me map:
- About the role: combine "About The Role & Program" and maybe "Required Materials" and "Areas of Placement" could be separate or part of About.
- Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" with its subcategories
- Requirements: "Please Apply If You Have" (required skills)
- Qualifications: "Education" and "Eligibility Requirements & Program Information"
- Skills: "It Would Also Be Great If You Have" (preferred skills)
- Benefits: there is mention of benefits, so include Benefits section
- Pay: there is pay rate ($23/hour in Orlando), so include Pay section
- Schedule: "Additional Information" mentions 40 hours/week, nights/weekends, so include Schedule section
But note: "Areas of Placement" is specific and detailed - should be its own section or part of About. I'll make it a subsection under About the role or separate section. Since it's a list of teams with descriptions, I'll include as part of About the role or as a separate "Placement Areas" section. The rules say use h3 for section headings like "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". "Placement Areas" isn't listed but could be under About. I'll include as a subsection within About the role using maybe a
? But rules say use for section headings. Could use for "Areas of Placement". That's acceptable as a section heading.
Also "Required Materials" is about application materials - could be part of "Requirements" or separate. Since it's about what to submit, maybe include in "Requirements" or "Application Requirements". But the rules say don't include application instructions. However, required materials (portfolio, writing samples) are substantive requirements for the role. I'll include in Requirements section.
"Recruitment Timeline" is just dates - could be part of Schedule or separate. Since Schedule section is for work schedule, maybe include timeline in Schedule or About. I'll include in Schedule section.
"Additional Information" includes housing, transportation, Disney Look - these are conditions of employment, could be part of Requirements or separate. I'll include in Requirements or Qualifications.
"Recommendation – Print This Role Description" is boilerplate - remove.
Now, I need to output HTML fragment with appropriate sections.
