- The Old Mutual Story!
We need to preserve all original content word-for-word. That includes the text inside tags, but we must strip the HTML tags and produce our own semantic HTML.
We need to decide how to structure sections: Likely:
- Intro paragraph(s): "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" and "Old Mutual is a firm believer..." maybe as .
- Then maybe a title "Aspires to be a Financial Adviser" could be a heading? But spec says use
for section headers like Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc. Not for job title? The job title could be just a
maybe bold? But we cannot add styling; we can keep as plain text inside
. However we could treat it as a paragraph.
- Then description paragraph(s).
- Then Skills heading:
Skills
then list items as - each skill separated by commas? The original list is a comma-separated list. We need to preserve content word-for-word, but we can wrap each skill as
- items. However we must not add or remove content; we can split the string into items but must keep the exact text of each skill. 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". If we split by commas, we need to ensure we keep each piece exactly as appears (including spaces). That seems okay as we are not adding or removing words, just restructuring. However we must be careful about trailing spaces. We'll produce
- Building Trust
etc.
- Then Competencies heading: Competencies
then list items: each competency appears on its own line separated by tags. The raw shows:
Action Oriented
Balances Stakeholders
Builds Networks
Collaborates
Communicates Effectively
Customer Focus
Decision Quality
Ensures Accountability
Thus each competency is followed by two empty tags. So we can extract each competency line: Action Oriented, Balances Stakeholders, Builds Networks, Collaborates, Communicates Effectively, Customer Focus, Decision Quality, Ensures Accountability.
We'll output each as - .
- Then Education heading:
Education
then paragraph: "NQF Level 4 - Grade 12, School leaving Certificate, National or Occupational Certificate or equivalent (Required)". Note there are double spaces before "National". We must preserve exactly. So we keep that string inside a .
- Then Closing Date heading:
Closing Date
then paragraph: "19 October 2026 , 23:59". Note there is a space before comma? Actually "19 October 2026 , 23:59". Keep as is.
- 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 need to preserve content: "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." It is italic and bold originally, but we cannot add styling; we just output as plain text inside . The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Does that mean we must keep the italic and bold tags? But we are not allowed to use or because we only allowed
,
, - . The instruction says: 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 explicitly forbid other tags like or , but says "Use for introductory paragraphs and general text" and "Use
for section headers" and "Use - for list items". It doesn't say we cannot use other tags, but to be safe, we should follow the instruction: only use those tags. However preserving original content word-for-word might conflict if we strip . But the instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. If we remove the tags, we are removing content (the tags). However the earlier instruction about formatting as clean semantic HTML likely expects us to strip the original markup and reformat with our own tags, but keep the textual content. The phrase "preserve ALL original content word-for-word" likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. Because we are converting to HTML, we cannot keep the original inline styles etc. So we should keep the text exactly as appears, ignoring original tags.
Thus we output the sentence as plain text inside
.
- Then final paragraph: "
The Old Mutual Story!
" The text is "The Old Mutual Story!" with multiple bold and italic tags. We'll output as plain text inside .
We also need to consider there are empty
tags etc. We'll ignore them as they have no content.
Now produce HTML:
Start with maybe a
for "Let's Write Africa's Story Together!" (note the apostrophe is encoded as ' in original; we need to preserve the original content word-for-word. The original text includes ' which is an HTML entity for apostrophe. If we output as plain text, should we keep the entity or convert to actual apostrophe? The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. The original content includes the entity '. So we should keep that exactly. However the output is HTML; if we keep ', it will be displayed as an apostrophe after browser renders. That's fine. So we keep the entity.
Thus first paragraph:
Let's Write Africa's Story Together!
Second paragraph: Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.
Then maybe a paragraph for "Aspires to be a Financial Adviser". The original had Aspires to be a Financial Adviser. We'll output as Aspires to be a Financial Adviser
.
Then the description paragraph: The original had 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 combine the two spans into one paragraph? The original had a line break
between sentences. We are not allowed to use
. We could make two paragraphs: first sentence, second sentence. But we must preserve content word-for-word; we could keep them as separate tags. The original had them in same
with
. If we split into two
, we are adding structure but not altering text. That seems acceptable. We'll output:
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.
Note we need to keep the double quotes encoded as ". Keep as is.
Then Skills heading: Skills
then - each skill.
List skills exactly as they appear between commas. Let's split:
"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 leading/trailing spaces; we trim.

then 19 October 2026 , 23:59
Now 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.
Now final paragraph: The Old Mutual Story!
We should also consider that there may be multiple paragraphs after that; but that's it.
Now ensure no , no class, no inline styles, no

Let's construct final HTML.
We'll output:
