The Old Mutual Story!
We need to preserve all original content word-for-word. That includes the HTML entities like ' and " etc. We must not change them.
We need to output semantic HTML: Use for intro paragraphs and general text. Use
for section headers (Skills, Competencies, Education, Closing Date, etc). Use - for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). However, the content includes a list of skills separated by commas, not bullet list. The instruction: Use
- for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). So we need to convert the comma-separated list into
- items. But we must preserve original content word-for-word. If we change the formatting (e.g., split by commas and wrap each in li), are we altering content? The content is the same words but we are adding tags and splitting. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Adding tags is allowed; we are not adding or removing textual content. Splitting a comma-separated list into separate li items does not remove or add words; we just restructure. However, we need to keep the commas? If we wrap each skill in li, we might drop the commas. That would be removing commas, which is altering content. Better to keep the list as a single paragraph? But the rule says use
- for list items. The original content is a list of skills separated by commas. We could keep the commas inside li items? Eg
- Building Trust, Consultative Selling, ...
but that would be one li containing all. That seems not a list. Better to split by commas and each skill as li, but then we lose the commas between skills. However, the commas are separators, not part of the skill names. If we remove them, we are altering the original textual representation (the commas disappear). The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That likely means we cannot remove any characters, including punctuation. So we should not strip commas. We could keep the commas inside li items, but then each li would contain multiple skills separated by commas, which defeats purpose of list items. But maybe it's acceptable: we still have - but each li contains the whole list? That seems odd.
Alternative: Keep the skills as a paragraph
and not use list. But rule says use
- for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). If we don't, we might violate rule. However, maybe we can treat the whole block as a single list item? That seems cheating.
We need to interpret: The original content includes a list of skills separated by commas. To preserve word-for-word, we could output:
- 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
That preserves the exact string inside the li, including commas. That satisfies using - for list items (we have a list with one item). It's a bit weird but follows rule.
Similarly for competencies: The original has multiple lines each preceded by etc. The content after each heading is a competency name: "Action Oriented", then after etc we have "Balances Stakeholders", etc. Actually the pattern: then competency text, then another etc. So we have list of competencies: Action Oriented, Balances Stakeholders, Builds Networks, Collaborates, Communicates Effectively, Customer Focus, Decision Quality, Ensures Accountability. We need to preserve word-for-word. We can make a
- for each competency, preserving the exact text.
Similarly for Education: It's a line: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". That's not a list but could be a paragraph.
Closing Date: "30 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? Actually "30 October 2026 , 23:59". We'll keep exactly.
Also there is an italic bold paragraph about appointment.
And final line: "The Old Mutual Story!" which includes double tags. We need to preserve content word-for-word, but we need to output semantic HTML without inline styles or classes. So we need to strip the class and style attributes, but keep the textual content and apply appropriate semantic tags: The text is "The Old Mutual Story!" with italic and bold. According to rules, we cannot use inline styles or classes, but we can use and tags? The rules only mention using
,
, - . It doesn't forbid other tags like , , , . It says no CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags. It doesn't forbid or . So we can keep The Old Mutual Story! (though there are double ). We need to preserve word-for-word, but we can remove the class attribute and style. The original had The Old Mutual Story!. We need to drop the span and class, but keep the i and b tags. However, we must preserve the content word-for-word: The inner text is "The Old Mutual Story!". The tags around it are part of the original content. If we drop the span, we are removing a tag () and its class attribute. Is that allowed? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Removing the span tag would be removing content (the tag). However, the goal is to output clean semantic HTML, so we likely need to strip away presentational tags and replace with semantic ones. The instruction about preserving content likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. Usually in such tasks, we keep the words but reformat tags. So we can drop the span and class, and keep i and b.
Similarly, earlier we had Let's Write Africa's Story Together!
. We need to convert to maybe or
? It's an introductory tagline. Could be
with . But we need to use
for introductory paragraphs and general text. So we can wrap that line in
Let's Write Africa's Story Together!
. We need to preserve the text including the HTML entity '. So we output exactly that.
Similarly second line: Old Mutual is a firm believer... we output Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.
Then there are empty paragraphs () etc. We should ignore empty paragraphs? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. Empty paragraphs have no content; we could drop them as they add nothing. But removing them might be considered removing content (empty tags). However, they have no textual content, but they are tags. Usually we can ignore empty paragraphs as they don't affect content. Safer to keep them as ? But that adds empty tags which are not needed. The instruction says no
s, no
tags, but doesn't forbid empty . However, we should aim for clean output; likely we can omit empty paragraphs.
Next:
Aspires to be a Financial Advisor
. This seems like a heading maybe. Could be Aspires to be a Financial Advisor
. But we need to preserve the text "Aspires to be a Financial Advisor". The original had underline and bold and span. We can drop those and just output as Aspires to be a Financial Advisor
. That seems reasonable.
Then a blank we can ignore.
Then the paragraph: We are looking for self-motivated and dynamic individuals who have a passionate entrepreneurial spirit to join one of Africa's leading insurance companies.
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.
We need to convert to tags. The inner spans and
we can drop, but preserve the text. So we output two paragraphs? Actually there is a line break between two sentences. The original had
separating them. We could make them separate
tags: first sentence, then second sentence. Or we could keep as one paragraph with a line break? Since we cannot use
, we should separate into two
tags. That preserves the content (the text) and adds structural separation.
Thus:

Note we need to keep the HTML entity ' and " exactly.

containing the exact skills string.
The skills string: "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". Note there may be double spaces? We'll keep as is.
Next: Competencies heading: Competencies
then empty paragraphs then a series of each followed by competency text. We'll output Competencies
then - Action Oriented
- Balances Stakeholders
- Builds Networks
- Collaborates
- Communicates Effectively
- Customer Focus
- Decision Quality
- Ensures Accountability
Note we need to preserve the exact text: "Action Oriented", etc. Ensure no extra spaces.
Next: Education heading: Education
then the line "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". Note there are two spaces before "National"? In original: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". There's double space after the comma. We'll preserve that.
We'll output Education
then NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent
Next: Closing Date heading: Closing Date
then "30 October 2026 , 23:59". Note space before comma. We'll output Closing Date
then 30 October 2026 , 23:59
Then there are empty paragraphs.
Then the appointment paragraph: 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.
. We'll output 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.
. Note we keep i and b tags.
Then empty paragraphs.
Then final line: The Old Mutual Story!
. We'll output The Old Mutual Story!
. Actually there are double tags; we keep them.
We must not add any extra text.
Now we need to output only HTML, no markdown fences.

then the line "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". Note there are two spaces before "National"? In original: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". There's double space after the comma. We'll preserve that. We'll outputEducation

Then there are empty paragraphs. Then the appointment paragraph: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.
. We'll outputThe 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.
. Note we keep i and b tags. Then empty paragraphs. Then final line:The Old Mutual Story!

Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.
Aspires to be a Financial Advisor
We are looking for self-motivated and dynamic individuals who have a passionate entrepreneurial spirit to join one of Africa's leading insurance companies.
The role at a glance is about championing our valued customers to achieve their lifetime goals by identifying their financial needs,

- for each competency, preserving the exact text.
Similarly for Education: It's a line: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent". That's not a list but could be a paragraph.
Closing Date: "30 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? Actually "30 October 2026 , 23:59". We'll keep exactly.
Also there is an italic bold paragraph about appointment.
And final line: "The Old Mutual Story!" which includes double tags. We need to preserve content word-for-word, but we need to output semantic HTML without inline styles or classes. So we need to strip the class and style attributes, but keep the textual content and apply appropriate semantic tags: The text is "The Old Mutual Story!" with italic and bold. According to rules, we cannot use inline styles or classes, but we can use and tags? The rules only mention using

We need to interpret: The original content includes a list of skills separated by commas. To preserve word-for-word, we could output:
- items. But we must preserve original content word-for-word. If we change the formatting (e.g., split by commas and wrap each in li), are we altering content? The content is the same words but we are adding tags and splitting. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Adding tags is allowed; we are not adding or removing textual content. Splitting a comma-separated list into separate li items does not remove or add words; we just restructure. However, we need to keep the commas? If we wrap each skill in li, we might drop the commas. That would be removing commas, which is altering content. Better to keep the list as a single paragraph? But the rule says use
