,

• . Must preserve all original content word-for-word, no additions, deletions, rephrasing. Must not add any extra commentary. Must not use
  ,
  , CSS, etc. Must use

  for section headers like Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc. The job description includes headings like "What You’ll Be Doing", "How You Will Create Impact", "What You Bring", "The Foundation", "The Edge", "Why You’ll Love It Here", "The Bottom Line", "How to Apply". We need to map these to

  headers. Also need to preserve bullet lists using

  • . Ensure we keep all text exactly as given, including capitalization, punctuation. Must not add or remove anything. Must not summarize. Must preserve all original content word-for-word. We need to decide which sections are headings. The instruction says use

    for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). In this job description, we have headings like "What You’ll Be Doing", "How You Will Create Impact", "What You Bring", "The Foundation", "The Edge", "Why You’ll Love It Here", "The Bottom Line", "How to Apply". We can treat each as a section header and wrap with

    . Also there is an introductory paragraph before the first heading: "At Capitec, we believe banking should be simple - and so should building great teams. That’s where you come in." That should be wrapped in

    . Then after the headings and bullet lists, there is a final line "How to Apply:" with numbered steps. That should be part of a paragraph? The instruction: Use

    for introductory paragraphs and general text. Use

    for section headers. Use

    • for list items. So we need to wrap each bullet list under its heading with
      • . The bullet items are preceded by hyphens. We need to keep the bullet text exactly as given, but we need to convert the hyphens to list items. The hyphens are part of the content? The original text includes hyphens at start of each bullet. Should we keep them? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. The hyphens are part of the content? They are used as bullet markers. Should we keep them? Probably we need to keep the bullet text exactly as appears, including the leading hyphen and space? But we need to use
      • for list items. Typically we would not include the hyphen inside the
      • content; the hyphen is part of the content? The original bullet lines start with "- ". If we put the hyphen inside the
      • , that would be part of the content, which is okay as long as we preserve it. But the instruction says use
        • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). It doesn't say to strip the hyphens. So we can include the hyphen as part of the li text. However, the hyphen might be considered part of the content; we must preserve it exactly. So we should output something like:

          What You’ll Be Doing

          • - Partner with senior leaders to co-create and deliver people strategies aligned to real business priorities.
          • - Operate as a thought partner to executives, connecting business strategy, people priorities, and organisational choices to drive long-term impact.
          ...
          But we need to preserve the hyphen and space exactly as in original. The original bullet lines have a hyphen and a space before the text. So we should include that hyphen and space inside the li content. That means the li content will start with "- ". That's okay. Similarly for other sections. We must not add any extra text. Must not add any extra headings beyond those present. Must not add any extra paragraphs beyond what is needed. We need to preserve all original content word-for-word. That includes the introductory paragraph, the headings, the bullet lists, the subheadings like "What You Bring", "The Foundation", "The Edge", "Why You’ll Love It Here", "The Bottom Line", "How to Apply". Also the numbered steps under "How to Apply". The steps are numbered "1. To see what life at Capitec is all about and complete a short assessment, please click here!" and "2. Once you have completed the above finalize your application by clicking apply below". Those lines should be preserved exactly, including the numbers and punctuation. They are part of the text. They are not bullet list? They are numbered steps. The instruction says use
          • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). It doesn't mention numbered steps. So we should treat them as normal paragraphs? They are separate lines with numbers and periods. Could wrap each line in

            . But they are part of the "How to Apply" section. The heading "How to Apply" should be an

            . Then the steps could be separate

            paragraphs. Or we could treat them as part of the same paragraph? The instruction: Use

            for introductory paragraphs and general text. So we can wrap each step line in

            . That would preserve the content. We must not add any extra commentary. So final output should be a single HTML snippet with tags.

To see what life at Capitec is all about and complete a short assessment, please click here! 2. Once you have completed the above finalize your application by clicking apply below We need to preserve all content exactly, including the bold markers? The original uses ** for bold, but that is markdown formatting. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. The bold markers are part of the formatting? In plain-text job description, they might be present as **...**. The instruction says preserve all original content word-for-word. So we must keep the ** characters as they appear. However, the instruction also says use

            for section headers, but the headings are surrounded by ** in the original. Should we include the **? The heading text is "What You’ll Be Doing". The original includes "**What You’ll Be Doing**". The asterisks are part of the formatting, not part of the heading text? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must keep the ** characters as they appear. But we also need to use

            for section headers. How to combine? Possibly we should output

            What You’ll Be Doing

            without the asterisks, because the asterisks are formatting markup, not part of the content? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. The original content includes the asterisks? The raw scraped text might have included them as part of the text. The instruction says "Job description:" then the text includes **What You’ll Be Doing**. That is part of the raw text. So we must preserve them exactly. But we also need to output HTML. If we include the ** inside the

            tag, that would be part of the heading content, which would not be a valid HTML heading? It would be okay to have ** inside the tag, but it would be literal characters. The instruction didn't forbid that. It only said use

            for section headers. It didn't say the content inside must be plain text without markdown. So we can include the ** as part of the heading text. However, that would be weird:

            **What You’ll Be Doing**

            . That would render with bold markup in HTML? Actually ** is not HTML, it's just characters. It would display as **What You’ll Be Doing**. That might be okay. But the instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must keep the ** exactly as they appear. So we should output

            **What You’ll Be Doing**

            . Similarly for other headings that have **. The headings that are bolded with ** at start and end. Also "The Foundation:", "The Edge:", "Why You’ll Love It Here", "The Bottom Line". Those are not bolded with **. Only the headings "What You’ll Be Doing", "How You Will Create Impact", "What You Bring", "The Foundation:", "The Edge:", "Why You’ll Love It Here", "The Bottom Line". Actually "What You Bring" is also bolded with **. The original has "**What You Bring**". So we need to preserve that. Thus we need to output headings with the ** characters included. But the instruction says use

            for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It didn't say to strip formatting. So we can include the **. But we must be careful: The instruction says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So we must not remove the ** characters. So we must keep them. Thus we will output:

            At Capitec, we believe banking should be simple - and so should building great teams. That’s where you come in.

            **What You’ll Be Doing**

            • - Partner with senior leaders to co-create and deliver people strategies aligned to real business priorities.
            ...
            But note that the bullet items also have hyphens and spaces. The hyphens are part of the content. We need to keep them. Now we need to go through each section and output accordingly. Let's list all sections and content: 1. Intro paragraph: "At Capitec, we believe banking should be simple - and so should building great teams. That’s where you come in." 2. Next paragraph: "We’re looking for a Strategic People Partner who doesn’t just support the business but helps shape it. Someone who can confidently take a seat at the table, challenge thinking, and partner with leaders to build teams that truly move the needle." 3. Heading: "**What You’ll Be Doing**" Bullet list under that heading (8 items). Let's copy them exactly as they appear, including hyphens and spaces. Original bullet lines: - Partner with senior leaders to co-create and deliver people strategies aligned to real business priorities. - Operate as a thought partner to executives, connecting business strategy, people priorities, and organisational choices to drive long-term impact. - Shape organisation and workforce design to enable scale, agility, and effective ways of working. - Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick. - Lead and support enterprise-wide strategic initiatives in partnership with Centres of Excellence. - Guide leaders across the talent lifecycle, including talent acquisition, performance, succession, and workforce planning. - Understand the impact of emerging technologies, including AI, and proactively shape workforce capability, roles, and ways of working as the business evolves. - Drive DEI and employee experience as part of broader business transformation (not standalone initiatives). Note: The fourth bullet line has "- Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." There's a hyphen after "advisor" with no space? Actually original: "Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." There's a hyphen directly after "advisor". The bullet line starts with "- Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." So the bullet line includes two hyphens: one at start of bullet, then a space, then "Be a trusted advisor", then a hyphen, then "solving...". So we need to preserve that exactly. So the li content should be "- Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." Wait the bullet line already includes the leading hyphen as part of the bullet marker. So the content after the bullet marker includes "Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." But the bullet marker is the hyphen at the start of the line. So the entire line is "- Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." So the li content should be exactly that string, including the leading hyphen and space? The instruction says use
          • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). It doesn't say to strip the bullet marker. So we should include the hyphen and space as part of the li content. So the li content will be "- Be a trusted advisor -solving complex people challenges and shaping solutions that stick." That includes the leading hyphen and space, then the text, then a hyphen inside. That's fine. Now after the bullet list, there is a blank line? Then heading "**How You Will Create Impact**". Then bullet list (9 items). Let's copy them exactly. Original bullet lines: - Drive end-to-end change management - from diagnosing the need for change to embedding and sustaining it. - Design and evolve future-fit organisational structures that enable agility, scalability, and performance. - Lead organisation design conversations, including spans, layers, capabilities, and ways of working. - Build change capability in leaders, enabling them to lead transformation confidently - Use people data, organisational diagnostics, and external trends to proactively shape workforce strategy. - Embed new ways of working (agile, digital-first, customer-centric teams). - Identify capability gaps and influence upskilling and reskilling strategies for the future. - Act as a connector across the business, breaking silos to enable integrated people solutions Note: The fourth bullet line ends with "confidently" and then a line break, no period? Actually original: "Build change capability in leaders, enabling them to lead transformation confidently". No period at end. So we must preserve that exactly, including the lack of period. Now heading "**What You Bring**". Then a bold line: "**You’re not just experienced - you’re strategically wired and impact-driven.**". That line is bolded with **. Should we preserve the **? Yes. So we output

            **You’re not just experienced - you’re strategically wired and impact-driven.**

            ? Actually that line is not a heading; it's part of the content under "What You Bring". The heading is "**What You Bring**". Then there is a line with bold text. The instruction says use

            for section headers. So "What You Bring" is a section header, so we wrap that with

            . The bold text inside is part of the content; we should preserve the ** characters. So we output

            **What You Bring**

            then a paragraph with the bold line? Actually the bold line is part of the content, not a heading. So we should output it as a paragraph

            **You’re not just experienced - you’re strategically wired and impact-driven.**

            . But we need to preserve the ** characters. So we output

            **You’re not just
