We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading with filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role? The posting starts: "NEON's Theatrical Distribution Spring 2027 Internship applications are now open in LA Theatrical Distribution Intern Responsibilities As an intern in Theatrical Distribution, you will play a significant role..." That's basically description of role. Could be "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: list of duties: Managing shipping timelines, tracking film prints, ensuring timely delivery to theaters; Research marketing and distribution plans to develop knowledge of competitive landscape; build decks for case studies on past successful releases; Assist distribution team with box office report entry, invoicing, updating release calendars; Conduct grassroots and organizational outreach for current and upcoming NEON releases; Keep track of and update a catalog of contacts for non-theatrical sales; Assist in communicating with exhibitors for all of their in-theater marketing needs; Conducting routine theater checks of key LA cinemas; Attending Q&A screenings and working with theater managers on-site; Supporting screening events and ensuring NEON's presence is seamless and professional; Assist with special events and screenings; General administrative and shipping support; Stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices in theatrical distribution. - Application Information: Application Deadline: October 7, 2026 @ 11:59 pm EST; Program Timeline: Monday, January 4, 2027-Friday, May 21, 2027; Scheduled Weekly Hours: Must be available to work in person three full days per week for the duration of the internship. Also "We offer a competitive hourly rate of $18.50 per hour." That's Pay. Also "School credit is optional, and documentation can be provided if needed." That's maybe Benefits? Also "No relocation assistance is available." Also "Our interns are onsite and in person based in either the New York or the Los Angeles office." Also "Schedules vary based on department needs and your availability. We do our best to work around your class schedule." That's Schedule. - Requirements: Eligibility: must be current undergraduate student enrolled at accredited college/university and taking at least one class during internship term. Based in LA, must reside in LA area, hold valid driver's license, have access to a car. Reliable transportation is key — many assignments involve theater visits, screening checks, event support (including Q&As and other in-person activations). Also "Ideal Candidates will Have:" list: Genuine interest in theatrical distribution and release, marketing, exhibition of independent films; Familiarity with NEON's slate and how films build momentum through press, audience response, box office performance; Excellent organization and attention to detail; comfortable managing release calendars, box office data, regional research; Strong analytical skills with ability to interpret trends and performance metrics across markets and titles; Clear and effective written communication for internal updates, exhibitor outreach, screening reports; Proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets (formulas, trackers, datasets a plus); Comfortable using Google Workspace tools (Docs, Gmail, Zoom) and research platforms such as IMDbPro or exhibitor databases; Working knowledge of theatrical landscape — indie cinemas, major chains, festivals, current industry trends; A self-starter mindset — proactive, resourceful, eager to take initiative beyond assigned tasks; Interest in intersection of marketing and exhibition, including trailer placements, regional strategies, audience targeting; Experience with Premiere or Photoshop is a plus (basic trailer edits or deliverables); Prior experience in distribution, exhibition, programming, or marketing is a bonus, but not required. - About NEON: description of internship program: Dive Deep, Find Your Fit, Become Part of the Team, At NEON we are looking for diverse perspectives, Equal Opportunity Employer, etc. This is more about company culture. Could be "About the company" but not required headings list includes "About the role" only. Could incorporate into "About the role" or maybe "About NEON" not in list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings if content exists. We can also have other headings? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Probably we should stick to those headings where applicable. "About NEON" could be considered "About the role"? Might be better to include as a separate section "About NEON" but not in list. However instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. implies those are examples, not exclusive. But later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can add other headings if they have content. But we should avoid too many thin sections. Could combine "About NEON" into "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the company". However the list of examples includes "About the role". So we can put the NEON description under "About the role". That seems fine. Now we need to decide which sections to include: - About the role: includes introductory paragraph about role and NEON internship program description. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: includes eligibility and ideal candidates. - Qualifications: maybe not separate; we could combine with Requirements. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. The posting has "Requirements Eligibility" and "Ideal Candidates will Have:" which could be considered qualifications. We could put eligibility under Requirements and ideal candidates under Qualifications. Or we could just have one Requirements section containing both. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Requirements" section that includes eligibility and ideal candidates. But we also have "Skills" heading possible. The posting includes many skills: proficiency in Excel, Google Sheets, Google Workspace, IMDbPro, etc. Could be a Skills section. However we could also incorporate those into Requirements/Qualifications. To keep few sections, maybe we have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including eligibility, ideal candidates, skills), Benefits/Pay/Schedule (maybe combine?). But we have specific info for Pay ($18.50/hour), Schedule (three full days per week, flexible around class schedule), Benefits (school credit optional, documentation can be provided, no relocation assistance). Those are separate but could be separate headings: Pay, Schedule, Benefits. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state them, so we can include those sections. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we have three distinct pieces: Pay, Schedule, Benefits. Could we combine them into one "Compensation & Logistics" section? Not in the list of examples but we could. However the instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect us to use those headings if applicable. So we should create separate headings for Pay, Schedule, Benefits if content exists. That would be many sections but each is substantive. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. But these are not thin; each has specific info. However we could combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" section, but that's not exactly one of the examples. Might be safer to follow the examples: include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as separate headings. We also need to include maybe "Qualifications" if we separate ideal candidates from requirements. But we could put ideal candidates under Requirements. Let's see: The posting has "Requirements Eligibility" then "Ideal Candidates will Have:" which is more like qualifications. Could treat "Requirements" as eligibility and "Qualifications" as ideal candidates. That would be two sections. But we could also combine. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both eligibility and ideal candidates. Then we have Skills maybe as part of that. But we have many skill items; could be a separate "Skills" section. However we could also incorporate skills into Requirements. Let's decide: We'll have sections: - About the role (h3) - Responsibilities (h3) with ul list - Requirements (h3) with ul list (including eligibility, ideal candidates, skills) - Benefits (h3) with ul list (school credit optional, documentation can be provided, no relocation assistance) - Pay (h3) with p (competitive hourly rate $18.50 per hour) - Schedule (h3) with p (must be available to work in person three full days per week; schedules vary based on department needs and availability; we work around class schedule) We should also include maybe "Program Timeline" and "Application Deadline". Those are not in the heading list but could be placed under a heading like "Application Information" but not in examples. However we could incorporate them into Schedule or Benefits? Not really. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting has Program Timeline and Application Deadline. Where to put? Could be under a heading like "Important Dates" but not in examples. Could we put them under Schedule? Not exactly. Could we put them under a heading like "Details"? Not in list. Perhaps we can incorporate them into a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities? But they are not about role. Could we create a heading "Application Information"? Not in examples but allowed as e.g. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It does not forbid other headings, but we should try to stick to those. However we need to preserve all substantive information. If we omit Program Timeline and Application Deadline, we lose info. So we need to include them somewhere. Perhaps we can put them under a heading "Details" but that's not in examples. However we could put them under a heading "Schedule"? Not appropriate. Could we put them under "About the role"? Might be okay as additional info about the internship timeline. The posting says "Program Timeline: Monday, January 4, 2027-Friday, May 21, 2027". That's about schedule/duration. Could be placed under Schedule section. Similarly "Application Deadline: October 7, 2026 @ 11:59 pm EST" could be placed under Schedule or maybe under a separate heading "Application". But we could add a heading "Application" but not in examples. However we could treat it as part of "Schedule" as it's about timing. Might be okay. Alternatively, we could create a heading "Important Dates" but that's not in examples; risk of being considered extra heading but maybe okay. The instruction says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say
