Physical Requirements: description. Work Environment: description. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could include overview: internship description, location, department, purpose. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: eligibility (full-time student, Electrical Engineering major preferred), maybe driver's license. - Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? Could combine. - Skills: list of skills. - Benefits: maybe mention exposure, hands-on experience, opportunity to work on projects, gain skills, etc. Also maybe mention hourly rate based on classification (but that's Pay). Also mention internship months May-August (Schedule). Also mention location (Moore, Oklahoma). Also mention company details maybe not needed. - Pay: hourly rate based on student classification (no specific number). Since it's not a specific number, we should not create Pay section if it's vague? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "The hourly rate offered for this internship will be based off of student classification." That's a statement about pay, albeit not a specific number. It's still stating pay basis. Should we include Pay section? The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay, albeit generic. I'd include a Pay section with that statement. - Schedule: "The internship will be during the months of May-August." That's a schedule statement. So include Schedule section. - Benefits: The posting mentions "This position provides an excellent opportunity to gain exposure and knowledge in the engineering field." "Our internship is designed to assist Planning Engineers..." "You will have the opportunity to work on various engineering projects while gaining hands-on experience and skills to add to your education." "During the internship there will be challenges and an opportunity to work with our various work teams." Also maybe mention exposure to software, field visits, presentation. Those could be considered benefits. So we can include Benefits section summarizing those. We must not include boilerplate like closing date, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about company facilities, capacity, miles of line, members, etc. Where to put? Possibly in About the role or Benefits? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine company info into About the role. Let's craft sections:
