Let me analyze the job posting content:
- Position Summary: describes the 2027 NBA Summer Internship program (10-week, June 7 – August 13, 2027)
- Role Overview: describes the AI Project Intern role
- Major Responsibilities: list of duties
- Projects areas: five areas with examples
- Required Education & Professional Experience: list
- Required Qualifications: Technical Skills & Knowledge Attributes (list)
- Preferred Experience: list
- Salary Range: Undergraduate $32/hr, Graduate $40/hr
- Job Posting Title: Summer Intern (but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading)
- Benefits: medical; short-term disability; mental health coaching/therapy; and sick time (with eligibility note)
- EEO statement: boilerplate, should remove
- About The NBA: company description
Sections to include:
- About the role (or Position Summary) - but the page already shows job title, so maybe "About the role" for the summary
- Responsibilities (Major Responsibilities)
- Projects (the five areas)
- Requirements (Required Education & Professional Experience)
- Qualifications (Required Qualifications - Technical Skills & Knowledge Attributes)
- Preferred Qualifications (Preferred Experience)
- Pay (Salary Range)
- Benefits (the benefits listed)
- About the Company (About The NBA)
But note: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)" - so we shouldn't have a heading for "Summer Intern". The posting has "Job Posting Title Summer Intern" but that's just metadata.
Also: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it" - the "WORK OPTION: The NBA currently provides eligible employees the option of working remotely one day per week." could be a short paragraph.
We need to include sections only when there's real content. All sections have content.
Let's structure:
-
About the role
with prose about the internship program and role overview.
- Responsibilities
with ul of major responsibilities.
- Projects
with ul of five areas (maybe each area with sublist? but keep simple: list each area with description).
- Requirements
with ul of required education & professional experience.
- Qualifications
with ul of technical skills & knowledge attributes.
- Preferred Qualifications
with ul of preferred experience.
- Pay
with prose about salary range.
- Benefits
with ul of benefits.
- About the Company
with prose about NBA.
But note: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? They are separate sections in posting. Keep separate.
Also, the "WORK OPTION" line could be included in About the role or as a separate note. Might include as a paragraph in About the role.
Now, remove boilerplate: EEO statement, "We Consider Applicants For All Positions..." etc. Also remove "Eligibility Note: Not all positions are eligible for these benefits; eligibility may vary by role." That's part of benefits, but it's a note. Could include as a paragraph after benefits list.
Also remove "More information on the Summer Internship Program experience can be found here." (link placeholder). Could keep as sentence but no link.
Now, write HTML.
Let's draft:
