Summer 2027/Winter 2028 State & Local Tax Internship
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings. "Overview" could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We can use "About the role" for overview of role and company. Then "Responsibilities" for responsibilities list. Then "Requirements" maybe combine Education, Experience, Certifications/Licensure Required. Or we could have "Qualifications" for Education and Experience. "Skills" for Knowledge & Technical Skills and Professional Skills. "Pay" for Additional Information pay rates. No Benefits or Schedule.
We must preserve all substantive information. Need to convert lists to - . Prose to
. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, unsolicited resumes, recruitment agency, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "Please discuss the work location status with your Baker Tilly talent acquisition professional..." maybe that's not boilerplate but it's about location status; could be considered minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. Probably drop as it's not substantive. Also remove "Visit bakertilly.com or join the conversation on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram." That's boilerplate? It's company promotion; maybe drop. Also remove "Baker Tilly is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer..." etc. Remove.
We need to keep all substantive info: overview description of firm, responsibilities bullet points, education requirements, experience, certifications/licensure, knowledge & technical skills, professional skills, pay rates.
Let's extract.

That's substantive.

We could also combine Education and Experience into Qualifications but instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. However we have distinct content; we could combine Education, Experience, Certifications into a single "Requirements" section. But we need to preserve all info; we can still have sub-lists? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could use "Requirements" to encompass Education, Experience, Certifications. Then "Skills" for Knowledge & Technical Skills and Professional Skills. That reduces sections.
Let's do:
- About the role (overview)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (Education, Experience, Certifications/Licensure)
- Skills (Knowledge & Technical Skills, Professional Skills)
- Pay
That's 5 sections.
Now we need to format content.
For Requirements, we could have - for each subcategory? Or we could keep paragraphs. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for requirements we should list each requirement as list items. Could break into items: Education, Experience, Certifications/Licensure. But each of those have multiple sentences; we could keep as paragraphs inside
- . That's okay.
Similarly for Skills: list items for each skill category.
Let's craft.
