Montana Department of Transportation · Helena, MT · 1 mo ago
$19.5/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule as appropriate. We must not repeat job title. Must include only sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - MDT Internship Program provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of problem solving, innovation and teamwork. Interns engage in Montana’s transportation projects that have a direct impact on Montana’s traveling public! Interns will collaborate with area experts and gain invaluable hands-on experience. Our internships focus on training and integrating the interns into our current workforce of over 2,000 people across Montana who are all providing a vital role to ensure everyone arrives at their destination safely. Recruiting for one Library Intern to be be hired from this posting; interns will work in the Research Section in Helena MT. That's about the role. - The intern will be responsible for assisting with literature searches, helping to clean up the library catalog system, copying and creating records to add to our system, assisting with the management of our interlibrary loan program, contributing to the Summer Research Newsletter, making sure MDT research products are widely available online, and assisting with daily library operations. There may be additional intern-initiated projects, depending on the library-related interests of the intern. Daily work activities include: copy cataloging of print materials; enhancing catalog records with tables of contents and summaries; shelf-reading; checking the collection for mis-shelved items; working on research guides; identifying useful resources that may be relevant for MDT Library patrons; assisting with finding literature needed by MDT employees. That's responsibilities. - Competencies: Knowledge and skills required for this position include strong attention to detail, organization skills, good communication, teamwork skills, and computer skills. That's skills. - Interns do not receive benefits such as paid holidays, medical coverage, earned vacation, or sick leave. That's benefits (or lack). We need a Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It states they do NOT receive benefits. Should we include Benefits section? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." Also: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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." The posting states benefits: "Interns do not receive benefits such as paid holidays, medical coverage, earned vacation, or sick leave." That's specific content about benefits (they do not receive). So we should include a Benefits section with that statement. - Work schedule will be 40 hours a week during the summer. That's schedule. - Pay is determined by credit hours earned by the end of Spring semester 2026:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtuDFrcCHpQ 30-59 credit hours =$19.50 60-90 credit hours = $22.46 91+ credit hours = $23.25 We need Pay section with that info. Also there is a YouTube link; we should drop application instructions and links? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The YouTube link maybe considered application instruction? It's a link to view videos of intern experiences. Might be considered extra but not application instruction. However we should probably drop the link as it's not substantive content about the job. The pay info is substantive. The link is just a reference; we can drop it. Also there is another link earlier: "Please follow the below link to view You Tube videos of 2025 MDT Intern experiences:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtuDFrcCHpQ". That's duplicate; we can drop both. - Must be currently enrolled in College, University, or Tech School or can be in graduate school working on a library degree at the time of application. Undergraduate applicants need to be at least entering junior year or have completed at least 60 hours. If an applicant is enrolled in a Tech School (2-year program) the credit minimum is 30 credits hours. Related majors include but are not limited to library science, library media services, informatics/information science. Must have demonstrated an interest in library work as a career. That's requirements/qualifications. We need to decide which sections: Requirements vs Qualifications. The posting includes eligibility and majors. Could be Requirements. Qualifications maybe similar. We can combine into Requirements section. Or we could have Requirements (eligibility) and Qualifications (majors, interest). But to avoid many thin sections, we can combine into Requirements. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract: Requirements: - Must be currently enrolled in College, University, or Tech School, or graduate student working on a library degree at time of application. - Undergraduate applicants: at least entering junior year or have completed at least 60 credit hours. - Tech School (2-year) applicants: minimum 30 credit hours. - Related majors: library science, library media services, informatics/information science (not limited to). - Must have demonstrated interest in library work as a career. We could also include "Must be currently enrolled..." etc. Skills: strong attention to detail, organization skills, good communication, teamwork skills, computer skills. Responsibilities: list as bullet list. About the role: paragraph. Benefits: statement about no benefits. Pay: details. Schedule: 40 hours a week during the summer. We should not include sections like Qualifications if we combine. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The YouTube links are likely application instructions or extra; we should drop them. We must not include the link in Pay section; just the pay rates. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

We need to ensure we didn't include any fluff. Check for duplication: The responsibilities list includes "Assist with daily library operations" and then sublist of daily work activities. That's okay. We must not include the YouTube links. We removed them. Check for any other boilerplate: "Please follow the below link to view You Tube videos of 2025 MDT Intern experiences:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtuDFrcCHpQ" removed. Check for "Recruiting for one Library Intern to be be hired from this posting;" we kept "Recruiting for one Library Intern to be hired from this posting;" but we corrected double "be". The original had "to be be hired". We should preserve original wording? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Changing "be be" to "be" is a minor edit but could be considered correcting a typo. Is that allowed? It's not inventing or summarizing away detail; it's fixing a typo. Might be okay but safer to keep original text exactly: "to be be hired". However that looks odd. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does that include preserving typos? Probably yes, we should not alter the text. So we should keep "to be be hired". Let's keep original. Thus About the role paragraph: "... Recruiting for one Library Intern to be be hired from this posting; interns will work in the Research Section in Helena MT." We need to keep "Helena MT" not "Helena, MT". Keep as is. Now check other text: "Interns do not receive benefits such as paid holidays, medical coverage, earned vacation, or sick leave." Keep. Now check "Work schedule will be 40 hours a week during the summer." Keep. Now check "Pay is determined by credit hours
