    The Old Mutual Story!

    We need to produce HTML with

    for paragraphs,

    for section headers. The sections: Responsibilities (currently

    Responsibilities

    then subheaders

    ...). According to rules, we should use

    for section headers like Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role. So we need to convert each section header to

    . Subheaders like Customer Service etc. Are they considered sub-sections? The rule says use

    for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using other heading levels? It says use

    for section headers. Likely we should treat each major section as

    . Subsections maybe also

    ? But we could keep them as

    as well, but that might be odd. However we must preserve content word-for-word; we can change tags but not text. So we can change

    Responsibilities

    to

    Responsibilities

    . The subheaders like

    Customer Service

    could also become

    Customer Service

    or maybe we keep them as

    as they are sub-sections under Responsibilities. The rule didn't forbid using

    for any header. It said 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 headings, but to be safe we can convert all heading tags to

    . However we must preserve the text exactly; changing

    to

    is allowed as it's just tag change, not content. So we will convert all heading tags (

    ,

    ,

    ) to

    . Also we need to wrap paragraphs in

    . The list items already in

    • . We should keep them as is, but ensure no extra attributes. The original
      • has no attributes, fine. We need to remove empty tags like

        ,

        ,

        , etc. Also remove stray spaces like   (the non-breaking space appears as a separate

         

        maybe). We should keep the content but remove empty tags. The non-breaking space is a character; we should keep it? It appears as a

         

        containing a non-breaking space. If we remove the

        tag, we would lose that space. But maybe it's just formatting; we could keep it as a

        with a space? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. So we must keep that non-breaking space character. If we wrap it in a

        tag, that's fine. But we could also keep it as a

        with that space. However we need to remove empty tags; this tag is not empty because it contains a non-breaking space. So we should keep it as

         

        (but we need to represent the entity). In HTML output we can just put the actual character or the entity. Safer to keep as   or just a space? The original is a non-breaking space (U+00A0). We can output as a plain space? That would change content. Better to output the entity  . But we can also just output a regular space; but that might be considered a change. The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must keep the exact characters. The non-breaking space is a character; we can represent it as   or as the actual Unicode character. In HTML output, we can just include the character; it's fine. We'll output a literal non-breaking space? Might be tricky in this text. Safer to output  . But we also have many empty

        etc. Those should be removed entirely. Also there are

        empty. We need to produce final HTML with only meaningful content. Let's extract the meaningful text blocks: 1. Let's Write Africa's Story Together! 2. Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this. 3. Job Description (maybe as a heading? Actually it's Job Description inside a p. We'll treat as a heading? It's not a section header per list, but we could make it

        Job Description

        or keep as

        Job Description

        . The rule says use

        for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). "Job Description" is not in that list, but it's a heading. Could treat as

        as well? Might be okay. But to be safe, we could keep it as

        Job Description

        . However we need to use

        for section headers; but we are not required to forbid other tags for non-section headers. The rule: "Use

        for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". It doesn't say we cannot use other tags for other headings. So we can keep the bold text inside a

        . However we also need to remove inline styles and classes. So we will convert

        Job Description

        to

        Job Description

        . 4. The paragraph after that: "Provides advice on a specific range of products to a specific allocated market and are individually accountable for achieving results through their own efforts." This is a paragraph. 5. Then Responsibilities section: heading Responsibilities, then subsections each with heading and paragraph. We need to decide how to structure: Could keep each subsection heading as

        and its paragraph as

        . That would be many

        tags. That's okay. 6. Then after responsibilities, we have a bold paragraph: "

        Requirements: Skills, Qualifications and Experience required

        " followed by
          list. We'll convert that heading to

          Requirements: Skills, Qualifications and Experience required

          (keeping the text). The inside can be removed; we just keep the text. 7. Then after list, there are some empty paragraphs and a non-breaking space paragraph. We'll keep the non-breaking space as

           

          maybe. 8. Then Skills heading:

          Skills

          followed by 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". We'll convert heading to

          Skills

          and the line as

          ...

          . 9. Then Competencies heading: similar, with list of competencies each preceded by

          empty tags. The text appears as: "Action Oriented

          Balances Stakeholders

          Builds Networks

          Collaborates

          Communicates Effectively

          Customer Focus

          Drives Results

          Ensures Accountability". So we need to parse that: It seems each competency is separated by empty

          tags. The actual text: "Action Oriented", then empty h3, then empty h3, then "Balances Stakeholders", etc. So we need to keep the text as is, but remove the empty h3 tags. So the resulting text should be: "Action OrientedBalances StakeholdersBuilds NetworksCollaboratesCommunicates EffectivelyCustomer FocusDrives ResultsEnsures Accountability"? Wait there is no spacing. Actually original: "Action Oriented

          Balances Stakeholders

          Builds Networks

          Collaborates

          Communicates Effectively

          Customer Focus

          Drives Results

          Ensures Accountability". So between each competency there are two empty h3 tags. If we remove those tags, we get concatenated words without spaces: "Action OrientedBalances StakeholdersBuilds NetworksCollaboratesCommunicates EffectivelyCustomer FocusDrives ResultsEnsures Accountability". That seems wrong; likely the original intended each competency on its own line, but the h3 tags were used as separators. However we must preserve content word-for-word, meaning we cannot remove the h3 tags if they are part of content? But they are tags, not content. The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That refers to text content, not markup? It says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. I think it means the textual content, not the HTML tags. We can change tags but must keep the text exactly. So we can remove the empty h3 tags because they are not content. However removing them will cause the text to concatenate without spaces, altering the textual content (since the spaces between words are part of the text? Actually there is no space between the closing

        and the next word
