Job Description

Here's a thinking process: 1. **Analyze User Input:** - User is acting as a job listing editor. - I receive raw scraped text from a job website. - Task: Extract ONLY actual job information, return clean, readable format. - Must REMOVE: social sharing text, author bylines, "you may also like", navigation, comments, ads/promotions, cookie/subscription notices, duplicate text, category labels not part of job, stray numbers/formatting artifacts. - Must KEEP and STRUCTURE: job title, company/org name, location, job description/responsibilities, requirements/qualifications, how to apply, salary (if mentioned), deadline/closing date, job ID/reference number, contract type/level. - Return ONLY the cleaned job text. No commentary, headers like "Here is the cleaned version", no markdown formatting. Just the clean job listing text. Wait, the user actually gave me a specific task format in the prompt, but then provided a "Job description:" section with actual text. Let me re-read carefully. The prompt says: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." Then there are 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 - 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. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble. Then it gives: "Job description:" followed by the text. So I need to take that specific job description text and format it as clean semantic HTML following the rules. I must preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I should not remove anything that's part of the job listing, but the initial part of the prompt talks about removing social sharing, bylines, etc. However, the actual task given is to format the provided job description as HTML. The job description provided seems to be the raw text I need to format. I need to check if there's any stuff to remove, but the rules for this specific task say "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So I should just take the given text and wrap it in the appropriate HTML tags. Let me look at the text: ```

    ``` Wait, the text already has some HTML tags: `

    `, ``, `

      `, `
    • `, `
      `. But the rules say: "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". So I need to convert the existing structure to the specified format, removing `
        ` tags, and using `

        ` for section headers, `

        ` for paragraphs, `

        • ` for lists. But I must preserve ALL original content word-for-word. So I need to keep all the text content, but reformat the tags. Let me parse the text and map it to the required HTML structure. The text structure: - `

          The opportunity:

          ` -> This is a paragraph with bold text. I should probably make "The opportunity:" an `

          `? Or keep as `

          `? The rules say use `

          ` for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). "The opportunity:" might be a heading, but it's not exactly one of those listed. However, the rule says "Use

          for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". It says "e.g.", so it's examples. I should use `

          ` for section headers. "The opportunity:" could be wrapped in `

          ` or `

          `. Looking at the content after it, it's a paragraph describing the role. I'll treat "The opportunity:" as a paragraph start, maybe `

          The opportunity:

          ` but the rule says use `

          ` for introductory paragraphs and general text. The `` inside `

          ` is okay as long as no inline styles, but `` is not a style, it's semantic. The rules say "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no

          s, no
          tags". `` is fine. But the existing `

          The opportunity:

          ` already has `

          ` and ``. I might need to keep `` or maybe just keep the text. The rule "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" means I must keep the exact words, but I can change tags as long as content is preserved. I'll keep `` where appropriate, or maybe just use normal text. But to be safe, I'll structure it as per rules. Let me list out segments: 1. `

          The opportunity:

          ` - This is a heading/intro. I'll make it `

          The opportunity:

          `? Or `

          The opportunity:

          `? The rules say use `

          ` for section headers. "The opportunity:" is not exactly a section like Responsibilities, but it's a header. I'll use `

          ` for it, as it's a section header. But the rule says "Use

          for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". I'll treat "The opportunity:" as a header, so `

          The opportunity:

          `. However, the original has it inside `

          `. I'll output `

          The opportunity:

          ` and then the following paragraph. 2. `

          `s? The rule says "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

          tags". I'll wrap the whole thing in a single `

          `, but there's a line break. I can just put it as `

            ...` - This is a list. I need to use `
            • `. The list item has `Responsibilities:` and then list items with `•`. I need to structure it properly. The rules say "Use
