  The Old Mutual Story!

  We need to output clean HTML with

  for intro paragraphs and general text,

  for section headers,

  • for list items. We must preserve all original content word-for-word. So we need to keep the exact text content, but we can strip the HTML tags and reformat. We need to identify sections: Intro paragraphs: first two paragraphs with "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" and "Old Mutual is a firm believer...". Then there are empty paragraphs. Then we have a section header "Qualifications and Experience" (bold). Then list items. Then "Other Requirements" header, list. Then "Skills" header, then a paragraph of skills list (comma-separated). Should we treat that as a paragraph? The rule: Use

    for introductory paragraphs and general text. Use

    for section headers. Use

    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). For skills, it's a list of skills but currently it's a comma-separated sentence. Should we convert to
      • each skill? The instruction: "Use
        • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". So we should treat the skills as list items. However we must preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. If we split the comma-separated list into separate
        • items, we are adding structure but not changing content? We are rephrasing? The content is the same set of skills, but we are changing punctuation and adding tags. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That suggests we should not change the text itself, only wrap it in appropriate tags. However they also say use
          • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). If the original text is not already in list format, we might need to keep it as a paragraph? But they explicitly say use
            • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). So if the skills are presented as a comma-separated list, we could still wrap the whole thing in a

              and not break into

            • . But that would violate the instruction to use
              • for list items for skills. However maybe they expect that if the skills are already in a list format (like bullet points) we use
                • . In this case they are not bullet points; they are a comma-separated sentence. The instruction may be interpreted as: if there is a list (like bullet points) we should use
                  • . If it's just a sentence, we keep as

                    . But they explicitly mention skills as an example of list items. However we must preserve original content word-for-word; we cannot add commas or remove them. Changing format to

                  • items would involve adding tags but not changing the text content; we would still have the same text inside each
                  • but we would need to split the sentence into separate items, which would change the text (removing commas, adding line breaks). That would be altering content. So better to keep as a paragraph. Similarly for Competencies: they appear as separate lines each preceded by
                    and then the competency name. The original shows pattern:
                    then text then
                    etc. Actually it's:

                    Competencies

                    Balances Stakeholders
                    Builds Networks
                    Communicates Effectively
                    Customer Focus
                    Ensures Accountability
                    Instills Trust
                    Interpersonal Savvy
                    Manages Complexity
                    ... So after the Competencies header, there are a series of competency names each surrounded by empty
                    tags. The text appears as "Balances Stakeholders
                    Builds Networks
                    ...". So the actual content is each competency name, separated by
                    tags. We need to preserve the text word-for-word. So we could output each competency as a separate paragraph? Or we could keep them as they appear, but we need to use

                    for section headers and

                    • for list items. The competencies could be considered a list. But again they are not originally in list format; they are separated by empty heading tags. If we convert to
                      • , we would be altering the structure but not the textual content (the competency names remain). However we would be removing the
                        tags and adding
                      • tags. That is adding tags but not changing the text. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Adding tags is allowed because we are outputting HTML; we are not altering the textual content. The original content includes the text "Balances Stakeholders", etc. The original also includes
                        tags which we are not required to preserve; we are to output clean semantic HTML, stripping away the original formatting. So we can reinterpret the structure. Thus we can treat the competencies as a list and output each as
                      • . Similarly for skills, we could split by commas and output each as
                      • . However the skills list includes commas and also the phrase "Consultative Selling, Customer Feedback Management, ...". If we split by commas, we need to ensure we don't inadvertently split inside a skill that contains a comma? None of the skills contain commas inside them; they are simple phrases. So splitting by comma and trimming spaces yields each skill. That would preserve the textual content (the skill names) but we would lose the commas and the overall sentence structure. However the original content includes the commas as separators; if we output each as separate
                      • , we are not preserving the commas as part of the content. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That likely means we should not change the textual content at all; we should keep the exact string as it appears, just wrap it in appropriate tags. So for skills, we should keep the exact string "Consultative Selling, Customer Feedback Management, Customer-Focused, Customer Service, Customer Understanding, Evaluating Information, Identifying Customer Needs, Identifying Sales Opportunities, Oral Communications, Probing Questions, Qualifying Prospects, Sales Data Management, Sales Software, Strategic Selling, Strengthening Customer Relationships". We could wrap that in a

                        or maybe a

                        • containing the whole string as one item. But that would not be a list of items; it's one item containing commas. The instruction to use
                          • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills) might be interpreted as: if the original content is a list (like bullet points), we should use
                            • . If it's not a list, we keep as

                              . Since the skills are presented as a comma-separated sentence (not bullet points), we should keep as

                              . Similarly for competencies: they are presented each on its own line but separated by empty

                              tags; not bullet points. However they appear as separate lines; we could treat each as a separate paragraph

                              . But the instruction says use

                              • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). Competencies could be considered a list of competencies. But again not bullet points. However the original shows each competency preceded by an empty
                                and followed by another empty
                                . That seems like a weird formatting artifact. The semantic meaning is a list of competencies. I'd lean to treat them as a list and output each as
                              • under a
                                . But we must preserve the exact text of each competency; we can do that. Let's examine the original snippet more carefully:

                                Competencies

                                Balances Stakeholders
                                Builds Networks
                                Communicates Effectively
                                Customer Focus
                                Ensures Accountability
                                Instills Trust
                                Interpersonal Savvy
                                Manages Complexity
                                So after the Competencies header, there is a line: "Balances Stakeholders
                                " then newline "
                                Builds Networks
                                " etc. So each competency appears between
                                tags. The pattern is: opening
                                then competency text then closing
                                . Actually it's "
                                Balances Stakeholders
                                "? Wait the snippet shows: "Balances Stakeholders
                                " then newline "
                                Builds Networks
                                " So the first competency has preceding text? Actually there is no preceding
                                before "Balances Stakeholders". It starts directly with "Balances Stakeholders
                                ". Then newline "
                                Builds Networks
                                " So the pattern is inconsistent: first competency missing opening
                                . But likely it's a formatting error; the intended is each competency wrapped in
                                . We'll treat each competency as the text between
                                tags. Thus we can extract: Balances Stakeholders, Builds Networks, Communicates Effectively, Customer Focus, Ensures Accountability, Instills Trust, Interpersonal Savvy, Manages Complexity. Now for Skills: after the Skills header, there are two empty

                                tags then the skills string then a

                                tag. So we can extract the skills string. Now we need to produce HTML: - Intro paragraphs: first two paragraphs with the text. We'll wrap each in

                                . Also there are empty paragraphs; we can ignore them (they have no content). The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. Empty paragraphs have no content, so we can omit them? If we omit, we are removing content (the empty paragraph). But empty paragraph has no textual content; removing it doesn't change any visible content. Probably acceptable. Safer to keep them as

                                ? But they said use

                                for introductory paragraphs and general text. Empty paragraphs have no text; we could keep them as

                                but that adds empty tags. Might be unnecessary. I'd omit empty paragraphs. Thus:

                                Let's Write Africa's Story Together!

                                Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.

                                Note: The original had HTML entities ' for apostrophe. We need to preserve the original content word-for-word. The original text includes ' which is an HTML entity for apostrophe. If we output as plain apostrophe, we are changing the content. So we must keep the entity as is. The original: Let's Write Africa's Story Together! So we must output exactly that string. Similarly Old Mutual is a firm believer... no entities. Thus first paragraph:

                                Let's Write Africa's Story Together!

                                Second paragraph:

                                Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.

                                Now after that, we have a section header "Qualifications and Experience". Use

                                for section headers. So:

                                Qualifications and Experience

                                Then list items: we need to wrap each
                                • inside a
                                  . The original list items have spans with text. We need to preserve the text inside each
                                  • word-for-word, including any punctuation and entities. The list items: - A minimum of Matric or equivalent - A minimum 12 months’ financial services experience as a Financial Adviser - A minimum of Long-term Insurance Class of Business completion. - Completion of additional FAIS requirements such as Investments Class of Business, the Regulatory Examination 5 (RE5), an FSCA-approved qualification will be advantageous. Note: there’s a special apostrophe in “12 months’” (right single quotation mark). That’s a Unicode character U+2019. We must preserve it exactly. In the original it’s “12 months’”. We'll keep that. Thus:
                                    • A minimum of Matric or equivalent
                                    • A minimum 12 months’ financial services
