    The Old Mutual Story!

    We need to produce clean HTML with

    for paragraphs,

    for section headers,
    • for list items. We must preserve all original content word-for-word. That means we cannot change the text, but we can reformat tags. We need to identify sections: The content includes: - Intro: "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (maybe heading) - "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this." - Then blank paragraphs. - Then "Part-time opportunity:" followed by a list (ul with li items). The list items include: Part-time Financial Adviser, Grade 12, etc. Actually the first li "Part-time Financial Adviser" seems like job title? But it's inside the list under Part-time opportunity heading. We need to keep as list items. - Then blank p. - Then "Skills" heading, then blank p's, then a line of skills: "Building Trust, Consultative Selling, Customer-Focused, Customer Service, Customer Understanding, Direct Selling, Identifying Sales Opportunities, Oral Communications, Probing Questions, Qualifying Prospects, Sales Data Management, Sales Software, Strategic Selling, Strengthening Customer Relationships" - Then an empty h3. - Then "Competencies" heading, blank p's, then a series of competency words each followed by

      etc. The raw shows: "Action Oriented

      Balances Stakeholders

      Builds Networks

      Collaborates

      Communicates Effectively

      Customer Focus

      Drives Results

      Ensures Accountability

      " So each competency appears then some empty h3 tags. We need to preserve content word-for-word, but we cannot keep the empty h3 tags? The rule says: Use

      for section headers. No
      , no
      . It didn't forbid other tags like

      but we should not keep empty tags? It says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That suggests we must keep the exact text, including the empty

      tags? However we are to output HTML, and we can decide to keep them? The instruction: "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." It didn't say we must strip out empty tags. But earlier: "Use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". It didn't say we cannot use other tags, but we should follow the instruction: Use

      for introductory paragraphs and general text,

      for section headers,
      • for list items. It didn't forbid other tags, but to be safe we should convert section headers to

        and maybe keep other tags as

        ? However the rule "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase" conflicts with changing tags. If we change

        to something else, we are removing original tags. But maybe they mean preserve the textual content, not the markup. Usually in such tasks, they want you to strip away styling and produce semantic HTML with appropriate tags, but keep the text unchanged. The phrase "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase" likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. So we can change tags as needed, but keep the text exactly. Thus we need to extract the textual content and wrap in appropriate tags. Let's extract the text pieces: 1. "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (note the HTML entity ' is apostrophe). We need to output the actual apostrophe? The original text includes ' which is HTML entity for apostrophe. Preserving word-for-word would keep '? Usually they'd want the actual character? But we can keep as is? The instruction says preserve original content word-for-word. The original content includes the entity '. So we should keep that exactly. However typical output would be the apostrophe. But to be safe, keep the entity. 2. "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this." 3. Then blank paragraphs (empty). We can ignore empty paragraphs? They are original content (empty). Should we preserve them? Probably we can ignore as they add no meaning. But preserving word-for-word would require empty

        tags. However we are to use

        for paragraphs; empty

        would be okay but maybe we can omit them as they add no content. The rule "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

        tags". Empty paragraphs could be considered paragraphs with no content; we could either keep them as

        or drop them. I'd drop them to keep clean. 4. Then "Part-time opportunity:" This is a heading? Could be considered a section header. According to rules, we should use

        for section headers. So we wrap that text in

        Part-time opportunity:

        . Keep the bold? The original had Part-time opportunity:. We should preserve the text "Part-time opportunity:" without the bold markup. So

        Part-time opportunity:

        . 5. Then the list items: each
      • content. We need to wrap the whole list in
        • ... etc. The list items text: - Part-time Financial Adviser - Grade 12 - Currently in an existing role which he or she wants to retain, but supplement value proposition and/or income by offering financial advice - Access to in-segment market and existing network - DOFA/Fit & proper (note original had & which is HTML entity for &. We need to preserve that? The text "DOFA/Fit & proper". We'll keep the entity & as is. - A valid Driver’s licence and own car (note the apostrophe in Driver’s is a curly apostrophe? We'll keep as is.) - A clear criminal and credit check - Proven computer literacy and digital dexterity - Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) - Sound planning and organising abilities - Ability to collate, analyse and synthesize information - Entrepreneurial mindset - Sound business acumen - GRIT, resilience and tenacity to stay the course. - Sales orientation We need to preserve exactly as given, including punctuation. 6. Then blank p. 7. Then "Skills" heading ->

          Skills

          8. Then blank p's. 9. Then the skills line: "Building Trust, Consultative Selling, Customer-Focused, Customer Service, Customer Understanding, Direct Selling, Identifying Sales Opportunities, Oral Communications, Probing Questions, Qualifying Prospects, Sales Data Management, Sales Software, Strategic Selling, Strengthening Customer Relationships" We need to decide how to represent this. It's not a list; it's a sentence/comma-separated list. According to rules, we can wrap in

          as general text. So

          Building Trust, Consultative Selling, Customer-Focused, Customer Service, Customer Understanding, Direct Selling, Identifying Sales Opportunities, Oral Communications, Probing Questions, Qualifying Prospects, Sales Data Management, Sales Software, Strategic Selling, Strengthening Customer Relationships

          10. Then an empty

          . We can ignore as it's empty. 11. Then "Competencies" heading ->

          Competencies

          12. Then blank p's. 13. Then the competencies text: It appears as a series of words each followed by empty

          tags. The text: "Action Oriented

          Balances Stakeholders

          Builds Networks

          Collaborates

          Communicates Effectively

          Customer Focus

          Drives Results

          Ensures Accountability". So we need to output the text exactly, but we can strip the empty

          tags? If we preserve word-for-word, we must keep them. But they are empty tags; maybe we can keep them as

          . However the instruction says use

          for section headers,
          • for list items,

            for paragraphs. It didn't forbid other tags, but we could keep them. However they are empty, so they'd produce nothing visually. Might be okay. But maybe better to treat each competency as a list item? The original seems to be a list of competencies separated by empty h3 tags. Could be interpreted as each competency is a heading? But they used

            as separators. Not clear. Given the instruction to use

            for section headers and
            • for list items, we could treat the competencies as a list (
              • Action Oriented
              • Balances Stakeholders
              • ... etc). That would be a reasonable semantic representation. However that would be adding structure (changing from original separators to list). The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Changing the separators to list items is adding structure (though not adding or removing text). It's rephrasing? It's re-structuring but not changing text. Might be considered adding? Safer to keep the text as is, maybe wrap in

                and keep the empty

                tags as they are. But the rule says no
                s, no
                tags, but didn't forbid

                . So we could keep

                tags. Thus after

                Competencies

                , we could output the exact competency string: "Action Oriented

                Balances Stakeholders

                Builds Networks

                Collaborates

                Communicates Effectively

                Customer Focus

                Drives Results

                Ensures Accountability". Then maybe a

                after? Actually after that there is

                etc. We'll just output that string as is, maybe inside a

                ? The original had that text directly after the blank p's, not inside a

                tag? Let's see: after the blank p's, we have:

                Competencies

                Action Oriented

                Balances Stakeholders

                Builds Networks

                Collaborates

                Communicates Effectively

                Customer Focus

                Drives Results

                Ensures Accountability

                So the competency text is outside any

                tag, directly after the blank p's, then followed by a

                . So we could wrap that competency text in a

                tag (as general text) and keep the inner

                tags as they are. That would be adding a

                wrapper, which is allowed (we use

                for paragraphs). It does not remove or add text, just adds a tag. That seems okay. Thus we will output:

                Action Oriented

                Balances Stakeholders

                Builds Networks

                Collaborates

                Communicates Effectively

                Customer Focus

                Drives Results

                Ensures Accountability

                But note there is a trailing

                after the competency text. That's an empty p; we can ignore. 14. Then blank p's. 15. Then "Education" heading ->

                Education

                16. Then the education line: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". Note there are double spaces before "National". We'll preserve exactly. Wrap in

                . 17. Then blank p. 18
