Summer Communications Intern - St. Louis District

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have posting: includes "Why You’ll Love This Position" (maybe about the role). Then "What You’ll Do" (responsibilities). Then "Minimum Qualifications". Then "Special Working Conditions None" (skip). Then "More Reasons To Love This Position" (benefits). Then other paragraphs about mission etc (maybe not needed). Also "If you have questions..." contact info (maybe minor metadata). Also "Posting closes 12/31/2026" and internal note about salary evaluation. Also "Job Location: St. Louis District Office - 1590 Woodlake Drive, Chesterfield, MO 63017". Also note about internal applicants salary evaluation. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also we should not include contact email? It's maybe minor metadata; could be folded into short p or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So contact email can be minor metadata; we could include in a short p. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include: posting close date, internal note about salary evaluation, job location, why you'll love this position (maybe about the role), responsibilities list, minimum qualifications, benefits (MoDOT offers excellent benefits package...), maybe also mention total compensation calculator, mission etc? Those are more fluff but still substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission/values paragraphs are not boilerplate but could be considered generic marketing; but they are substantive? Might be okay to include as part of "About the role" or separate? But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine "Why You’ll Love This Position" and "More Reasons To Love This Position" and mission statements into an "About the role" or "About the position" section. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (why you'll love, mission, etc). Responsibilities (list). Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (enrolled in relevant bachelor's or post-bachelor's degree program, GPA 2.0+, completed at least 30 credit hours). Also maybe special working conditions none (skip). Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from responsibilities but better not to invent. So we may omit Skills section if no specific content. Benefits: MoDOT offers excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, eligibility for health insurance coverage. Also total compensation calculator etc. So we can include Benefits. Pay: Not specified; internal note says successful candidates already at rates above posted salary will be evaluated individually to determine final salary outcome. No actual salary figure. So we should not create Pay section because no specific pay info. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits we have. Pay we do not have specific salary; we have note about evaluation but not a number. So we should omit Pay. Schedule: Not stated; omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Benefits. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose either Requirements or Qualifications. Minimum Qualifications is a heading; we could use "Qualifications". Or "Requirements". Since we have minimum qualifications, we can use "Qualifications". We'll not duplicate. Thus output:

About the role

... (combined why you'll love, mission, values, location, posting close date, internal note)

But we need to preserve all substantive information: posting close date, internal note about salary evaluation, job location. Also why you'll love this position text. Also more reasons to love this position (benefits) but we already have benefits separate. The "More Reasons To Love This Position" includes benefits description; we will put that in Benefits section. Thus About the role paragraph should include: "Why You’ll Love This Position" paragraph: The communications intern performs routine entry-level communications activities related to the development of department publications, website editorial content, and other information for internal and external audiences; helps coordinate special communications and outreach projects. Responsibilities are performed under moderate supervision. Also maybe include mission/values paragraphs: "At MoDOT you will play a key role in maintaining the seventh largest highway system in the United States. We value team players who are open-minded and work well with others to accomplish goals and fulfill our mission of safety, service, and stability. We see the growth of our team members as an investment, both in MoDOT's future and yours. If you're looking for diverse opportunities, challenging work, and a flexible environment, we want to talk to you about joining our winning team. MoDOT operates on shared values and your success in our organization depends upon modeling these values. CLICK HERE to view our mission, values, and tangible results." That's substantive but maybe considered marketing; still we can include. Also include posting close date and internal note: "Posting closes 12/31/2026 Note for internal applicants: Successful candidates already at rates above the posted salary will be evaluated on an individual basis to determine final salary outcome." Also job location: "Job Location: St. Louis District Office - 1590 Woodlake Drive, Chesterfield, MO 63017" We could combine these into a short p. Now Responsibilities: list items from "What You’ll Do". We need to convert each sentence into

. Let's extract: - Prepares news releases regarding department activities, contract lettings, and public relations events for newspapers and radio. - Assists with departments special projects such as Missouri State Fair exhibits, conference displays, work zone safety campaigns, roadway safety activities, and other special promotions. - Develops website content, brochures, handouts, newsletters, and other publicity material; designs and publishes written materials. - Writes feature stories for department publications. - Develops video productions and takes photos of department activities. - Organizes public meetings, media events, and ribbon cutting events. - Generates, edits, and publishes social media content. - Supports district customer service activities. - Performs other responsibilities as required or assigned. Note: "Develops website content, brochures, handouts, newsletters, and other publicity material; designs and publishes written materials." That's one item. Now Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: "All you need for success: Must be enrolled in a relevant bachelor's or post-bachelor's degree program. Must posses, and maintain, an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher out of 4.0 Must have completed at least 30 credit hours." Also "Special Working Conditions None" (skip). So we list those as

. Now Benefits: "More Reasons To Love This Position MoDOT offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage. Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer. Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck. To help demonstrate the value of working for MoDOT, we have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator. This tool provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more that are offered to prospective employees. The Total Compensation Calculator and other applicant resources can be found here." Also maybe mention "At MoDOT you will play a key role..." but we already used that in About the role. We'll keep benefits paragraph with those details. We should not include application instructions like "Visit our CAREERS page to explore all we have to offer." That's maybe okay as part of benefits. It's not application instruction. It's fine. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Thus final HTML:

Check we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. We omitted Skills, Pay, Schedule sections. We preserved all substantive info: posting close, internal note, location, why you love, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. We removed boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, contact email? We omitted contact email. That's minor metadata; we could have included but it's okay to drop. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We dropped it. We also removed "If you have questions about this position, please contact: kristina.hodges@modot.mo.gov". That's minor metadata; we dropped. We also removed "The State of Missouri is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. We also removed "CLICK HERE to view our mission, values, and tangible results." Actually we kept mention of CLICK HERE? We kept the sentence but not the link; we kept "CLICK
