Assistant Accountant
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)
Job Description
` tag. I need to figure out which format to output. The very first instruction says: "Return ONLY the cleaned job text. Do not add any commentary, headers like "Here is the cleaned version", or markdown formatting. Just the clean job listing text." But then the second section says to format as clean semantic HTML with specific tags. The last instruction says: "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." Let me re-read carefully. The user message starts with "You are a job listing editor..." and then has "REMOVE all of the following..." and "KEEP and STRUCTURE:" and "Return ONLY the cleaned job text." Then it says "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." with rules for HTML tags. Then it gives the job description. Then "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." This seems like two different tasks merged, but the final explicit instruction is: "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." And the HTML rules are given. So I should output the job description formatted as clean semantic HTML using the specified tags, preserving all original content word-for-word, no CSS classes, no inline styles, no divs, no br tags. Let me check the preservation rule: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". That's tricky with the HTML formatting because I need to wrap things but keep all text exactly as is. Let's look at the job description text. It's already in HTML-ish paragraphs, but I need to convert it to the specified format:
for intro paragraphs,
for section headers, - for lists. No , no
, no classes, no inline styles.
The text has:
- An introductory paragraph about ILRI
- Another paragraph about ILRI's mission
- Another about CGIAR membership
- "About the Position" then a paragraph
- "Key Responsibilities" then several ...: headings with
- lists
- "Requirements" then
- list
- "Terms of Appointment" then a paragraph
- "How to Apply" then a paragraph then
- list
I need to output ONLY the HTML, using the specified tags. I must preserve all content word-for-word. So I'll structure it semantically.
Let me outline the structure:
- The text starts with three
paragraphs about ILRI, mission, CGIAR.
- Then "About the Position" followed by a
paragraph.
- Then "Key Responsibilities" followed by section. The responsibilities are grouped under sub-headings like "Accounts Payable and Payment Processing:", "Account Reconciliations and Financial Controls:", etc. Each is a
...: then a
- ...
. But the original has them as Accounts Payable and Payment Processing:
then - ...}. I need to keep the content exactly. The rules say: Use
for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Use - for list items. But the original has sub-headings within Responsibilities. I need to decide how to handle. The rule says: "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags". But there are clear sections. I should use
for main sections: maybe "Key Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Terms of Appointment", "How to Apply". The sub-headings like "Accounts Payable and Payment Processing:" could be kept as
...: or maybe I should integrate them into the list items? But the rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I cannot remove or rephrase. The sub-headings are part of the text. I think I should keep the structure as close as possible, using
for the main section titles, and for the sub-headings within, I'll keep them as
...: followed by
- items. But the original already has them as
...:
then . I need to output valid HTML without . I can nest - directly after the
...: paragraph? Actually, the original has:
Accounts Payable and Payment Processing:
- ...
That seems fine. I'll keep that pattern.
But the rule says: "Use for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". So I should use for "About the Position", "Key Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Terms of Appointment", "How to Apply"? It lists examples. I'll use for the main section headers that match those names. The text has "About the Position", "Key Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Terms of Appointment", "How to Apply". I'll wrap those in instead of , but 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 say to replace with , but says use for section headers. I think I should use around those section titles, and keep the content inside or replace? The rule: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If I put the text inside , I need to include the text. Maybe I should use as the container for the section, and the heading text becomes the content. But that would change the text from "About the Position" to "About the Position
", which changes the tags but not the word content. The rule says "do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". It doesn't say I can't change tag types, but says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags". It explicitly says no , but doesn't forbid . It says "Use for section headers". So I should use for those headers. I'll replace the with for the main section headers, but keep the content word-for-word. The content includes the heading text. I'll output About the Position
etc. But the original has "About the Position" as a line. If I output About the Position
, that's fine, the words are preserved, just the tag changes. The rule says "No ... no s, no
tags". It doesn't say I can't use . It says "Use for section headers". So I'll do that.
For the sub-headings within Responsibilities like "Accounts Payable and Payment Processing:", they are not listed in the examples. I'll keep them as
Accounts Payable and Payment Processing:
or maybe just keep them as is? But the rule says no ? It doesn't say no . It says use for section headers, - for list items. I'll keep the sub-headings as
...: followed by
- items. But the original has
...:
then . I'll maintain that.
Let me parse the entire text and plan the HTML output.
