We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about KPMG culture, then "KPMG is currently seeking an Intern to join our Trade and Customs practice." Then "Responsibilities" list bullet points. Then "Qualifications" list bullet points. Then benefits and pay info: they mention benefits package, but no specific numbers. They mention salary ranges link but not actual range. According to rules: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 mentions benefits generally but not specific benefits? It does list benefits: "Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health." Also mentions Personal Time Off, holidays, breaks. That is specific enough? It describes benefits in general but not specific to role. It says "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year." That's generic but still some detail. The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We can include Benefits section with that content. Pay: they mention salary ranges link but no actual numbers; they say "If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed." No actual range given. So we should NOT create Pay section because no specific salary info. Schedule: they mention standard work hours? Not specific. They mention Personal Time Off etc but not schedule. So we omit Schedule.
We need headings: About the role? The intro paragraphs could be considered "About the role". Use for section headings. The job title is not repeated as heading. So we can have
for section headings. The job title is not repeated as heading. So we can have About the role
with paragraphs describing KPMG culture and the internship. Then Responsibilities
with - ... each bullet. Then
Qualifications
with list. Then Benefits
with paragraphs describing benefits.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines. Also remove visa sponsorship statement? That's part of qualifications? It's a requirement: "Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future. KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That is a qualification/requirement; we should keep it under Qualifications. Also remove EEO statements, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So keep details about responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, etc.
Let's extract responsibilities list:
- Advise clients on import and export matters in a variety of industries
- Examine U.S. and international import and export trade matters
- Research, write and review international trade advice
- Formulate ideas and deliver possible trade savings opportunities
- Assist in the delivery of multiple client engagements on time and within budget; maintain active communication with clients in an effort to manage expectations and to help enhance client satisfaction
- Support clients with the implementation of global trade automated solutions
- Build capabilities in key technologies that enable tax professionals for client service delivery such as artificial intelligence (AI), Alteryx, Power BI, and more
Qualifications list:
- Must be enrolled in an accredited college or university and pursuing the following degrees/majors: JD in International Law, or equivalent program
- Upon completion of this internship, candidates must have additional academic credits to complete before obtaining their degree and/or CPA eligibility requirements

- Excellent communication, time management and leadership skills, feedback oriented, and resourceful in delivering high quality work
- Must reside within a reasonably commutable distance to the office for this position and be able to travel to reasonably commutable work locations using own means of transportation, such as a personal vehicle or public transportation
- Ability to travel and/or work on-site at client premises as needed, at times with relatively short notice
- Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future. KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)
Benefits description:
- In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work.
Also mention link for salary ranges but we are not including Pay section. Should we keep the link? It's part of compensation info but no specific range. Since we are not making Pay section, we could drop the link as it's not substantive? The rule: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The link is substantive but it's about salary ranges. Since we are not making Pay section, maybe we could include a short paragraph under Benefits? But it's about pay. The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits, so we can include Benefits. It also mentions salary ranges link but not actual range. Could we include a Pay section with just the link? That would be heading with filler? Not exactly filler; it's a link to salary ranges. But the rule says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state that they offer compensation and benefits package and provide a link for salary ranges. So there is some pay info (link). However the rule also says never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). The link is not placeholder; it's a URL. So we could include Pay section with that link. But we need to decide.
Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding a Pay section with just a link might be thin. Better to incorporate that info into Benefits or About the role? It's about compensation. Could add a sentence in Benefits: "For salary range information, see the provided link." But we must not invent. We can include the link as a with the URL. That seems okay.
But the rule: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". The Pay section would have the link; that's specific. So we could include Pay.
However they also say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state benefits and compensation package and link. So we can create Benefits and Pay sections.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Benefits we have substantive content. Pay we have just a link; maybe we can combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation & Benefits" section? But headings must be from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create custom headings. So we could have Benefits and Pay separate, but Pay may be thin. Perhaps we can omit Pay and incorporate the link into Benefits as a sentence: "For salary range information, see: https://...". That preserves the info without a separate Pay heading. That seems acceptable and reduces thin sections.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship? Visa sponsorship is a qualification, keep.
