Sales$25/hrInternship
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 etc. Remove boilerplate etc. Include sections only when posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to extract content: Program Dates, base pay, location, schedule, who we are, what you'll do, what you'll need (basic qualifications, preferred qualifications), possible team placements, post-internship rotational program eligibility, why you'll love working with us (benefits/perks), purpose & inclusion, social impact & responsibility, assistance for individuals with disabilities, about Wayfair. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe "Who We Are" and description), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine), Benefits (employee perks, discount, mentorship, etc.), Pay (base pay $25 per hour), Schedule (flexibility to work retail schedule including evenings, weekends, peak periods). Also location maybe part of About the role or separate? Not a required heading; we can embed in a paragraph. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay and schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those. We need to preserve all substantive info: program dates, location, base pay, schedule, who we are description, what you'll do bullet list, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, possible team placements, post-internship rotational program eligibility, why you'll love working with us (list of benefits), purpose & inclusion, social impact & responsibility, assistance for individuals with disabilities, about Wayfair. We need to decide which sections to output. Possibly: - About the role (includes Who We Are, program dates, location, maybe description) - Responsibilities (What You'll Do) - Requirements (Basic Qualifications) - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) maybe combine with Skills? But we can have Skills section for preferred qualifications like AI tools, communication, etc. - Benefits (employee perks: discount, mentorship, etc.) - Pay (base pay) - Schedule (flexibility) - Possibly "Post‑Internship Opportunities" but not a standard heading; maybe we can include under About the role or a separate section like "Career Development". But only use allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit everything into those. We can put "Post‑Internship Rotational Program Eligibility" under About the role or maybe under Benefits? It's more about career path. Could put under About the role as part of description. "Possible Team Placements" could be under Responsibilities or About the role. "Purpose & Inclusion", "Social Impact & Responsibility", "Assistance For Individuals With Disabilities", "About Wayfair" could be under About the role as well. We must not invent sections; we can have multiple paragraphs under a heading. We need to use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
      • . For qualifications list (basic and preferred) we need
        • . For benefits list (employee perks) also
          • . For schedule maybe just a paragraph. Pay: just a paragraph with base pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content precisely. Program Dates: June 1st - August 6th, 2027 Location: Joss & Main - Burlington, MA (Requires flexibility to travel locally/work in various locations within the same immediate geography as needed) Schedule: Flexibility to work a retail schedule, including evenings, weekends, and peak periods as dictated by business needs. Base pay: $25 per hour. Who We Are: paragraph about top 100 internship program, 10-week summer internship program, etc. What You’ll Do: list of bullet points (Master Retail Operations & CX..., Shadow Store Leadership..., Execute a High-Impact Capstone Project..., Step into Acting Leadership..., Deliver Executive Presentations...). Each bullet is a sentence. What You’ll Need: Basic Qualifications: list (Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree..., Minimum GPA of 3.0., Must be returning to the course of study following completion of the internship.) Preferred Qualifications: list (1+ years of experience..., Strong comfort level..., Proactive..., Ability to stand/walk..., Flexibility to work a retail schedule...). Note flexibility repeats schedule but okay. Possible Team Placements: two bullet points (Physical Retail Store Operations..., Store Sales & Clienteling Leadership...) Post-Internship Rotational Program Eligibility: paragraph about successful completion serves as evaluation for Offer of Intent (LOI) to qualify for entry into elite multi-year post-graduate Retail Leadership Rotational Program. Top performers may be fast-tracked... Note that return offers are based on intern performance eligibility and business needs. Why You’ll Love Working With Us: paragraph about commitment, then list of opportunities: Build Future-Ready Skills, Receive Dedicated Mentorship, Learn from Senior Leaders, Tackle Real Challenges, Grow Your Network, Make an Impact, Enjoy Employee Perks (employee discount). Each bullet. Purpose & Inclusion: paragraph about fostering fair environment, developing resources. Social Impact & Responsibility: paragraph about helping people who lost their way from home, collaborating with nonprofits, product donations, volunteer time off, encouraging customers to donate. Assistance For Individuals With Disabilities: paragraph about reasonable accommodations, link to form. About Wayfair Inc.: paragraph about Wayfair being largest online destination, etc. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, privacy, etc. Also remove "Note that return offers are based on intern performance eligibility and business needs." Actually that's substantive? It's part of post-internship eligibility; we can keep. We must not include "Assistance For Individuals With Disabilities" if it's just a statement about accommodations; it's substantive, we can keep as paragraph under About the role maybe. We must not include "Need Technical Assistance?" etc. We must not include "About Wayfair Inc."? It's substantive about company; we can keep. Now produce HTML. Structure:
