We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections present: About the role? The posting includes "GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE JOB" and "LAUNCHPAD INTERNSHIP PROGRAM", "Essential Duties And Responsibilities", "Supervisory Responsibilities", "Education And/Or Experience", "Certificates, Licenses, Professional Designations", "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities". Also maybe "Benefits" etc. The posting mentions "Receive competitive compensation, including a housing stipend and recognition opportunities." That's benefits/compensation. Also "Program Highlights" includes bullet points. Should we create sections: About the role (maybe from GENERAL PURPOSE), Responsibilities (Essential Duties), Qualifications (Education And/Or Experience + Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Benefits (competitive compensation, housing stipend, recognition opportunities), Schedule? Not mentioned. Pay? Not explicit compensation amount, but "competitive compensation" is mentioned; we can include Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states "Receive competitive compensation, including a housing stipend and recognition opportunities." That's compensation and benefits. So we can have a Benefits section (maybe also Pay). But we should not create Pay if not specific amount. Could combine compensation into Benefits. The rule: Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have sections: About the role (purpose), Responsibilities, Qualifications (education + skills), Benefits (compensation, housing stipend, recognition). Also maybe Launchpad Internship Program details could be part of About the role or separate? Could be part of About the role. But we have specific headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should use those headings only if content exists. We have content for About the role (general purpose + launchpad program). Responsibilities (essential duties). Qualifications (education/experience). Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). Benefits (competitive compensation, housing stipend, recognition). No explicit Pay amount, so we should not create Pay section. No Schedule. So produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to extract content. Let's parse. First paragraph: "American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company is a leading provider of annuity solutions designed to help clients protect and grow retirement income. Part of Brookfield Wealth Solutions, we partner with more than 40,000 financial professionals and help fund over half a million retirements nationwide. Recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies and named a Top Workplace in Iowa, American Equity fosters a collaborative and purpose-driven culture where employees are empowered to ignite their passion and help shape the future of financial services. Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, with satellite offices in New York, NY, American Equity provides opportunities for employees to support work across the enterprise, including our sister company, American National, headquartered in Houston, Texas." That's company overview; could be part of About the role. Then "GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE JOB" paragraph: The Information Security Intern directly contributes to meaningful projects within the Information Security function within American Equity. This position is involved in the daily execution of information security operations to learn and experience key tasks within a security organization. The Information Security Intern has the opportunity to deliver an information security related project designed to reinforce the intern’s acquired knowledge on the information security skills learned. The intern provides valuable support to professional staff within organizational functions that align with their field of study and contribute to ongoing projects gaining hands-on experience in a structured, professional environment. Then "LAUNCHPAD INTERNSHIP PROGRAM" description: The American Equity Launchpad Internship Program is designed to identify, develop, and empower the next generation of talent. Through meaningful project work, mentorship, professional development, and networking opportunities, interns gain real-world experience while building the skills and connections needed to launch their careers. The Launchpad Internship Program is a 10–12 week, in-person experience based in our downtown Des Moines office. Interns gain hands-on experience, collaborate with professionals across the organization, and contribute to work that drives meaningful business outcomes. Program Highlights Contribute to meaningful projects that deliver real business impact. Receive dedicated mentorship from leaders and colleagues across the organization. Participate in an Intern Hack-a-thon focused on solving real business challenges and presenting innovative solutions to company leaders. Develop professional skills through learning sessions, leadership presentations, and networking opportunities. Engage in community service projects, Des Moines Intern Connections events, and social activities with fellow interns. Receive competitive compensation, including a housing stipend and recognition opportunities. Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" list bullet points (starting with Assists with the information security analyst processes...). We'll need to capture each duty as list items. Then "Supervisory Responsibilities Direct Reports: Education And/Or Experience General Description of Indirect Reports : Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Managing Information Systems, or other computing field of study." Then "Certificates, Licenses, Professional Designations N/A" - we should drop as no content. Then "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" list. We need to output sections. Let's craft About the role: combine company overview + general purpose + launchpad program? Might be too much but okay. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can't omit details. So we need to include all details from those sections. We'll create About the role section with paragraphs: company overview, general purpose, launchpad program details (including program highlights). Use

    for prose; for list of program highlights we need

    • . Responsibilities: list of essential duties. Qualifications: education/experience (pursuing bachelor's degree). Also maybe include "Education And/Or Experience" plus "General Description of Indirect Reports :" weird phrasing; we keep as is. Skills: knowledge, skills and abilities list. Benefits: competitive compensation, housing stipend, recognition opportunities (from launchpad program). Also maybe mention "Receive competitive compensation, including a housing stipend and recognition opportunities." That's it. We must not include boilerplate like Disclaimer, etc. Now produce HTML. Let's draft. About the role:

      Then Launchpad Internship Program: maybe separate

      then list.

      The American Equity Launchpad Internship Program is designed to identify, develop, and empower the next generation of talent.

We'll put each as
    • . Now Qualifications: Education And/Or Experience: "Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Managing Information Systems, or other computing field of study." Also there is "Supervisory Responsibilities Direct Reports: Education And/Or Experience General Description of Indirect Reports :" weird. We'll just include the education line. Maybe also include "Supervisory Responsibilities Direct Reports:" but that seems like a heading with no content; we should not create empty sections. So we ignore. Thus Qualifications section:

      Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Managing Information Systems, or other computing field of study.

      Now Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list.
