Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML per rules. Use

for intro paragraphs and general text. Use

for section headers (Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Use
  • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
    , no
    . Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must keep the exact text content, but we can change tags. Must not add or remove any words. Must preserve original content exactly as appears, but we can reformat with tags. We need to parse the given raw HTML (which is messy) and extract the textual content, preserving it, then output as semantic HTML. Given the input includes many tags with styles etc. We need to strip those and produce clean HTML. Let's extract the textual content in order. Original snippet:

    The appointment will be made from the designated group in line with the Employment Equity Plan of Old Mutual South Africa and the specific business unit in question.

    The Old Mutual Story!

    We need to preserve all text exactly, including punctuation, spaces? The HTML entities like ' should be kept as is? The original text includes ' which is an apostrophe. We should preserve that as is. Also & should be preserved. We need to output HTML with

    for paragraphs,

    for section headers,
    • for list items. We must decide what constitutes sections. The original had: - Intro: "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" and "Old Mutual is a firm believer..." (two paragraphs) - Then a blank lines. - Then "Part-time opportunity:" followed by a
        list items (these are likely the bullet points under Part-time opportunity). The list items include: Part-time Financial Adviser, Grade 12, Currently..., etc. Those seem like requirements/qualifications? Actually they are bullet points under "Part-time opportunity:" maybe describing the role? Could be considered as "Key Duties" or "Requirements". But we need to follow instruction: Use

        for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So we need to identify section headers in the original: There's "Skills", "Competencies", "Education", "Closing Date", also maybe "Part-time opportunity:" could be considered a section header like "About the Role" or "Key Duties". Also there is a paragraph with italic bold about appointment. We must preserve all content word-for-word. So we need to wrap each piece accordingly. We cannot add or remove any text. So we must keep the exact strings, including the bullet list items exactly as they appear. We need to decide how to structure: Use

        for section headers. So we will convert each bold heading to

        . For example: - "Part-time opportunity:" ->

        Part-time opportunity:

        - "Skills" ->

        Skills

        - "Competencies" ->

        Competencies

        - "Education" ->

        Education

        - "Closing Date" ->

        Closing Date

        Also there is a line with italic bold: "

        The appointment will be made from the designated group in line with the Employment Equity Plan of Old Mutual South Africa and the specific business unit in question.

        " This is not a heading but a paragraph; we should wrap in

        . Also there is a final line: "

        The Old Mutual Story!

        " This is also a paragraph. Now the list items under Part-time opportunity: Should we keep them as
        • inside that section? Yes. Now the Skills section: after Skills there are empty

          tags then a line of text: "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". This is a comma-separated list. Should we treat as

          • items? The instruction says use
            • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). So we should convert that comma-separated list into list items. However we must preserve all original content word-for-word. If we split into separate
            • elements, we are not adding or removing text? We are splitting the text into multiple items, but the content remains same, just separated by tags. Is that allowed? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". Splitting into separate list items does not add or remove words; it just adds tags. The content inside each
            • would be a substring of the original. However we need to ensure we don't lose any punctuation like commas. If we split by commas, we would remove the commas from the text (unless we keep them inside each item). The original string includes commas separating items. If we split, we would need to decide whether to keep the commas as part of items or not. Usually you would strip the commas. That would be removing characters (commas) from the original text, which is not allowed. So we must keep the exact string as is. Therefore we cannot split the skills line into separate
            • items without altering the text (removing commas). So we should keep the skills line as a single

              paragraph (or maybe as a

              • containing the whole string). The instruction says use
                • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). If the skills are presented as a comma-separated list, we could still treat the whole line as one list item? That seems odd but we must not alter text. So we could wrap the whole line in
                  • (single item). That preserves the text exactly. Similarly for Competencies: after Competencies there are a series of lines each preceded by

                    and then a competency word. The original shows:

                    Competencies

                    Action Oriented

                    Balances Stakeholders

                    Builds Networks

                    Collaborates

                    Communicates Effectively

                    Customer Focus

                    Drives Results

                    Ensures Accountability

                    So each competency appears before an empty

                    . The text includes "Action Oriented", then "

                    ", then "

                    Balances Stakeholders", etc. Actually the pattern: after the competency text, there is an

                    tag. Then next line starts with

                    then the next competency. So the text is fragmented by empty h3 tags. We need to preserve all text word-for-word, including those empty h3 tags? But we are not allowed to use
                    or
                    etc, but we can keep the tags? The instruction says return ONLY the HTML, using only

                    ,

                    ,
                    • . No other tags. So we must strip out those

                      tags because they are not allowed. However we must preserve the textual content word-for-word. The

                      tags have no content, so removing them does not affect textual content. So we can drop them. Thus we can extract the competency strings: "Action Oriented", "Balances Stakeholders", "Builds Networks", "Collaborates", "Communicates Effectively", "Customer Focus", "Drives Results", "Ensures Accountability". They appear each separated by empty h3 tags. We need to preserve them exactly as they appear, including spaces and capitalization. The original text: "Action Oriented

                      Balances Stakeholders

                      Builds Networks

                      Collaborates

                      Communicates Effectively

                      Customer Focus

                      Drives Results

                      Ensures Accountability". So we can extract each competency. We could wrap each competency in
                    • inside a
                        under the Competencies section. That would preserve the text (each competency string) exactly, and we are not adding or removing any characters from those strings. The empty h3 tags are removed, but they had no textual content, so it's fine. Similarly for Skills: we have a string of competencies separated by commas. We could keep as a single
                      • containing the whole string, preserving commas. Or we could split by commas and lose commas. Better to keep as single
                      • . Now the Part-time opportunity list items: they are already
                      • items in original. We can keep them as
                      • inside a
                          . The original list items include some text with punctuation. We must preserve them exactly. Let's verify each item: 1. Part-time Financial Adviser 2. Grade 12 3. Currently in an existing role which he or she wants to retain, but supplement value proposition and/or income by offering financial advice 4. Access to in-segment market and existing network 5. DOFA/Fit & proper 6. A valid Driver’s licence and own car 7. A clear criminal and credit check 8. Proven computer literacy and digital dexterity 9. Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) 10. Sound planning and organising abilities 11. Ability to collate, analyse and synthesize information 12. Entrepreneurial mindset 13. Sound business acumen 14. GRIT, resilience and tenacity to stay the course. 15. Sales orientation We must keep exactly those strings, including the ampersand entity & in item 5. Also note item 6 uses “Driver’s” with a curly apostrophe? The original shows “Driver’s licence”. It uses a right single quotation mark (Unicode U+2019). We must preserve that character. Also item 14 includes a period at end. Now after the list, there is an empty

                          then Skills heading. Now after Skills heading, there are empty

                          tags then the skills line. Now after that there is an empty

                          then Competencies heading. Now after Competencies heading, empty

                          tags then the competency list with empty h3 tags. Now after that there are empty

                          tags then Education heading. After Education heading, the text: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". Note there are double spaces after comma? Actually "Certificate, National". We must preserve that exactly. Then Closing Date heading, then the date: "30 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? Actually "2026 , 23:59". There's a space before comma. Must preserve. Then empty paragraphs, then the italic bold appointment paragraph. Then empty paragraphs, then the final emphasis-2 line: "The Old Mutual Story!" which includes double tags. The text is "The Old Mutual Story!". We must preserve that exactly, including the exclamation mark. Now we need to output HTML with only

                          ,

                          ,
                          • . No other tags. So we must convert headings to

                            . Paragraphs to

                            . Lists to

                            • . Ensure we don't add extra tags like
                              or
                              . Also we must not add any extra text. We need to decide the order of sections. Let's reconstruct the cleaned version: Start with intro paragraphs: - "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" - "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this." These are two paragraphs. Then there were two empty

                              tags (blank lines). We can ignore empty paragraphs as they have no content; we should not add empty

                              tags because they'd add no content but they are extra tags. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. Empty paragraphs have no content, so we can omit them because they don't contain any textual content. However if we omit them, we are removing tags but not content. That's allowed because they have no content. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Removing empty tags does not remove content. So it's fine. Then we have "Part-time opportunity:" heading. Then the list items. Then after list, there is an empty

                              (we can ignore). Then "Skills" heading. Then empty

                              tags (ignore). 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" Then there is an empty

                              (ignore). Then "Competencies" heading. Then empty

                              tags (ignore). Then the competency list with empty h3 tags (we will extract each competency). Then empty

                              tags (ignore). Then "Education" heading. Then the education line: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National
