    . Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

    tags. Return ONLY the HTML. We have raw HTML with many tags and styling. Need to extract text content and reformat according to rules. We must preserve original content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change wording, but we can change tags. Must keep the exact text strings, including punctuation and spaces? Probably yes. We need to parse the given job description text. Let's extract the textual content from the provided HTML. Given:

    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 extract the text content, preserving order. Let's manually extract: 1. "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (note HTML entity ' is apostrophe) 2. "Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this." 3. (empty p) 4. (empty p) 5. "Aspires to be a Financial Advisor" 6. (empty p) 7. "We are looking for self-motivated and dynamic individuals who have a passionate entrepreneurial spirit to join one of Africa's leading insurance companies." Then after

    there is: "The role at a glance is about championing our valued customers to achieve their lifetime goals by identifying their financial needs, providing sound financial advice, recommending and implementing "fit for purpose" financial plans and solutions." Note there are quotes escaped as " which should be ". So text: The role at a glance is about championing our valued customers to achieve their lifetime goals by identifying their financial needs, providing sound financial advice, recommending and implementing "fit for purpose" financial plans and solutions. 8. (empty p) 9. "Skills" then empty p, empty p, then list: "Building Trust, Consultative Selling, Customer Feedback Management, 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.

    (empty) 11. "Competencies" then empty p, empty p, then a series of competencies each followed by

    etc. The text appears as: "Action Oriented

    Balances Stakeholders

    Builds Networks

    Collaborates

    Communicates Effectively

    Customer Focus

    Decision Quality

    Ensures Accountability" So each competency separated by

    tags (some double). So the sequence: Action Oriented, Balances Stakeholders, Builds Networks, Collaborates, Communicates Effectively, Customer Focus, Decision Quality, Ensures Accountability. 12. Then empty p, empty p, empty p. 13. "Education" then text: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent" 14. Then empty p. 15. "Closing Date" then text: "30 October 2026 , 23:59" 16. Then several empty p. 17. "

    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.

    " 18. Then empty p, empty p. 19. "

    The Old Mutual Story!

    " => text: "The Old Mutual Story!" (with italic and bold but we just need text). We must preserve all content word-for-word. So we need to output HTML with

    for paragraphs and

    for section headers, and
    • for list items. We need to decide sections: The text includes headings like Skills, Competencies, Education, Closing Date. Also there is an introductory part before Skills. We should treat "Skills" as a section header =>

      Skills

      . Then the list of skills should be
      • each item. The skills are currently a comma-separated list. We need to split into list items preserving original wording. The original text: "Building Trust, Consultative Selling, Customer Feedback Management, 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 make each as
      • item. Must preserve original wording exactly, including punctuation inside each item (no trailing commas). So we split by ", " and each item as is. Similarly Competencies: list of items: Action Oriented, Balances Stakeholders, Builds Networks, Collaborates, Communicates Effectively, Customer Focus, Decision Quality, Ensures Accountability. Should be
        • each. Education: It's a line: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". This is not a list but a sentence. Should be wrapped in

          maybe after

          Education

          . The original text includes double spaces? There's two spaces before "National". We must preserve spaces exactly. The text: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". Note there are two spaces after the comma before "National". We must keep that. Closing Date: "30 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? Actually "30 October 2026 , 23:59": there is a space before comma after 2026. We must preserve. Then the appointment statement: "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." Should be wrapped in

          maybe with but we cannot use inline styles? We can keep and tags? The rules: Use

          for introductory paragraphs and general text. Use

          for section headers. Use
          • for list items. No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
            s, no
            tags. It didn't forbid other tags like , , . It says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must keep the original tags like , , etc? The instruction: "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." And earlier: "Use

            for introductory paragraphs and general text. Use

            for section headers ... Use
            • for list items ... No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
              s, no
              tags". It doesn't say we cannot use other tags like , , . However, to preserve original content word-for-word, we should keep those tags as they appear. But we also need to wrap paragraphs in

              tags if they are not already. The original already has

              tags around many bits. We could keep them but we need to output only HTML, not the original messy inline styles. We should strip out style attributes and class attributes, but keep the semantic tags like , , . Also we need to convert section headers to

              . The original had for headings, we should replace with

              . Also we need to remove empty

              tags and

              etc. We must preserve the textual content exactly, but we can change tags as per rules. However, the instruction "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase" refers to the text content, not the tags. So we can change tags but keep the inner text unchanged. Thus we need to produce HTML with: - Intro paragraphs: Let's Write Africa's Story Together! (maybe as

              ) - Old Mutual is a firm believer... (

              ) - Aspires to be a Financial Advisor (

              maybe with originally but we can just

              and keep the text? The original had Aspires to be a Financial Advisor. We need to preserve the text "Aspires to be a Financial Advisor". Should we keep ? The rule says use

              for introductory paragraphs and general text. It didn't forbid other tags, but to keep it simple we could just wrap in

              . However, we would be removing tags, which is altering original content (the tags). But the instruction about preserving content likely refers to visible text, not markup. Usually in such tasks, they want you to strip formatting and just output semantic HTML. So we can drop etc. But we need to keep the text exactly. Thus we will output:

              Let's Write Africa's Story Together!

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

              (maybe we can omit empty paragraphs? The rule: If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

              tags. It didn't say to remove empty paragraphs. But we could keep them? Probably better to omit empty paragraphs as they add no content. However, preserving original content word-for-word would keep empty paragraphs as they are part of original. But they are just empty

              tags. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. If we remove empty

              tags, we are removing content (the empty paragraph). However, they might consider that as not meaningful content. Usually they'd want to ignore empty tags. Safer to keep them? But they'd produce empty

              which is allowed? It says use

              for introductory paragraphs and general text. Empty paragraph is still a

              . Might be okay. But we also have many empty

              tags; outputting many empty

              might be weird but not prohibited. However, they said "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no

              s, no
              tags". Empty

              is fine. But we also have

              empty tags; we should remove them as they are not needed and not part of content. The rule didn't forbid removing empty tags that have no content. But to be safe, we can omit them. We need to decide. Given typical tasks, they want clean semantic HTML with only meaningful content. So we will drop empty paragraphs and empty headings. Thus final HTML:

              Let's Write Africa's Story Together!

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