Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML with

,

for section headers,
  • for list items. Must preserve all original content word-for-word, no adding/removing. Must not add CSS classes, inline styles, no
    , no
    . Must return only HTML. We have raw text with many HTML tags already (like

    ,
    , , , etc). We need to strip those and produce our own semantic HTML. We must preserve content exactly as given, word-for-word. So we need to extract the textual content from the given HTML, ignoring tags, but preserving the text and whitespace? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So we need to output the same textual content, but formatted with our tags. Thus we need to parse the given job description text (the HTML snippet) and extract the plain text content, preserving line breaks? Probably we should treat line breaks as spaces? But we need to output paragraphs and lists. We need to identify sections: Intro paragraph(s), Employee Contract Type, Job Description (with subsections: Specific responsibilities, MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES with subparts, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES, CORE CAPABILITIES, DISCLAIMER, Applicant Types Accepted). We need to use

    for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). However the given text uses different headings: "Employee Contract Type:", "Job Description:", then within that "Specific responsibilities", "MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES", then subheadings like "Staff recruitment and Training 20%", "Monitoring (40%)", etc. Then "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES", then "CORE CAPABILITIES", then "DISCLAIMER;-", then "Applicant Types Accepted:". We need to map these to

    tags. The instruction: 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 must only use those exact words; we can use any section header as

    . So we will wrap each heading in

    . For subheadings like "Staff recruitment and Training 20%" maybe also

    ? But they are within MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES; maybe they are subsections. Could also treat them as

    as well. But we need to decide. We also need to use
    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). The bullet points currently are lines starting with "•". We need to convert each bullet to
    • inside a
        . Also there are some paragraphs that are not bullet points. We must preserve all content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change the wording of bullet points, but we can change formatting. We must not add any extra text. So we need to output exactly the same sentences, but wrapped in tags. We need to strip out original HTML tags like

        ,
        , , , etc. Also need to handle HTML entities like + (which is +) and & (which is &). We need to preserve the characters as they appear originally? The original text includes "31,000+" which should be "31,000+". The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. Does that mean we should keep the entity as is? Usually "word-for-word" means the visible text, but the source includes HTML entity. However they said plain-text job description. The input includes HTML tags but we are to output clean semantic HTML. Likely we should decode entities to the actual characters, as that is the content. But "preserve ALL original content word-for-word" could be interpreted as we should not change the wording, but we can decode entities because they represent the same character. Safer to keep the visible text as intended: "31,000+". Similarly "&" should be "&". We'll decode. We also need to remove stray numbers or formatting artifacts? That was from first part but now second part says preserve all content. So we keep everything. We need to ensure no
        tags. So we need to convert line breaks into appropriate block tags. Let's extract the plain text from the given HTML snippet. I'll copy the snippet and manually extract. Given:

        With 75 years of experience, our focus is on helping the most vulnerable children overcome poverty and experience fullness of life. We help children of all backgrounds, even in the most dangerous places, inspired by our Christian faith.

        Come join our 31,000+ staff working in nearly 100 countries and share the joy of transforming vulnerable children’s life stories!
