Legal Intern - Summer 2027

POET · Sioux Falls, SD · 1 mo ago
On-siteFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have content: About Poet (mission, culture). Job Summary & Responsibilities. Strengths of a Successful Candidate. Work Environment. Growth & Development Opportunities. Perks. Also there is EEO boilerplate to remove. Also we need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The headings we can use: About the role (maybe about Poet?), Responsibilities, Requirements (strengths), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills (maybe?), Benefits (perks), Pay (none), Schedule (none). We must not create Pay/Schedule unless present. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills?, Benefits. But we need to map content appropriately. We have: - About Poet: mission, culture, work-life balance, team events, etc. This can go under "About the role" (or maybe "About the company"). - Job Summary & Responsibilities: includes description and bullet list of responsibilities. So we can have a

Responsibilities

with
  • items. - Strengths of a Successful Candidate: includes full-time student, JD, completed first year, organizational skills, communication, adaptability, MS Office basics. This can be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put under

    Requirements

    with list. - Work Environment: travel, sitting 90%, occasional lifting 50 lbs. Could be under a section like "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those given; we should only use those headings. If content doesn't fit, we might need to incorporate into existing sections or omit? The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should use those headings when appropriate; but we can also use other headings? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those headings. However we have content like Work Environment and Growth & Development Opportunities and Perks. Those could map to Benefits (perks) and maybe Skills? Growth & Development could be under Benefits? Or we could create a section "Benefits" for perks and growth opportunities. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. Thus sections: - About the role: include Poet mission, culture, work-life balance, team events. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: include education (full-time student JD, completed first year), skills (organizational, time management, communication, adaptability, MS Office basics), maybe also strengths. - Benefits: include perks (wellness program, on-site fitness centers or reimbursements, safety and cold-weather gear reimbursements) and growth & development opportunities (internal development, resources, achieving goals, recognizing contributions). Also maybe work environment? Could include travel, sitting, lifting as part of work environment but not benefits. Could we add a section "Work Environment"? Not in list but maybe we can still use

    Work Environment

    as it's substantive. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but it's safer to stick to those. However "Work Environment" is not in the list; but we could incorporate into Benefits? Not ideal. Maybe we can create a section "Requirements" that also includes physical requirements? But physical requirements are not requirements for candidate, they are job demands. Could be under "Responsibilities"? Not exactly. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could omit work environment details if they are not covered elsewhere? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot omit. So we need to include it somewhere. Could add a section "Work Environment" as a heading; it's still an h3. The instruction didn't say we cannot use other headings, just gave examples. So we can use "Work Environment". Similarly "Growth & Development Opportunities" could be its own heading or part of Benefits. But we can keep as separate heading if substantive. Thus we will produce sections:

    About the role

    with paragraph about Poet mission, culture, work-life balance, team events.

    Responsibilities

    with ul list.

    Requirements

    with ul list: education, skills.

    Benefits

    with ul list: wellness program, fitness centers/reimbursements, safety and cold-weather gear reimbursements, growth & development opportunities (internal development, resources, goal achievement, recognition). We still need to include work environment details (travel, sitting, lifting). Could add a subsection under Benefits? Not appropriate. Could add a separate section "Work Environment". Let's do that. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Work Environment. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove EEO boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal etc. Now craft HTML. We need to preserve all substantive information: Let's extract. About Poet: - Mission: be good stewards of Earth by converting renewable resources to energy and other valuable goods as effectively as humanly possible. - Over thirty-five years, drive and passion to change world enabled us to become largest producer and marketer of bioethanol and a leader in sustainable products. - CULTURE IS KING AT POET: we’re all on same team, always communicate, park egos at door. Not just slogans; it's the way we do things. - Provide environment for team members to maintain healthy work-life balance. Optimize health, wellness, productivity sustainably. - Work hard, play hard.
