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. - My job: 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 notices, duplicate text, category labels not part of job, stray numbers/formatting artifacts. - Must KEEP and STRUCTURE: job title, company/organization, location, job description/responsibilities, requirements/qualifications, how to apply, salary, deadline/closing date, job ID/reference number, contract type/level. - Return ONLY the cleaned job text. No commentary, no headers like "Here is the cleaned version", no markdown. Wait, the actual prompt I'm given is a bit different. Let re-read carefully. The user 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 intro paragraphs and general text - Use

for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role) - Use
  • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills) - 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 they provide a "Job description:" section with the actual text. So my task is: take the provided job description text, and format it as clean semantic HTML following the strict rules. Preserve ALL original content word-for-word. No removing anything? Wait, the very first part of the prompt says "REMOVE all of the following: ..." but then the actual task description says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". These are contradictory. Let's read carefully. The first paragraph is probably a general system prompt context, but the actual task given to me is: "You receive a plain-text job description. Your ONLY job is to format it as clean semantic HTML." And the rules there say "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". So I should NOT remove anything that's part of the job description. I should just wrap it in HTML tags as specified. Let's look at the job description text provided: ``` Develop and implement Alumni Relations Strategic plan aligned with university annual plan. Provide strategic guidance to alumni executive, groups and chapters to unlock support for university, activities, projects and initiatives. Act as a key liaison person between the university and alumni. Create strong and positive connections. Develop and implement strategies to keep alumni informed about university activities, events and projects. Provide guidance to alumni chapters to facilitate their activities and smooth engagement. Create and manage communication platforms to alumni. Collaborate with fundraising teams to encourage alumni donations, scholarships, research and university development.

Monitor alumni career developments and achievements for university visibility. ## Position Overview ## Qualifications Required - Master of Science Degree in Marketing, Media, Communication, Journalism or any related field. - Minimum of four (4) years working experience in Marketing, Media Communication or business. ## Skills & Competencies - Excellent written and communication skills. - Strong interpersonal skills for donor and alumni relations. - Knowledge of fundraising strategies and donor cultivation. - Experience managing fundraising events and corporate partnerships. - Good networking skills. - Strong leadership and team management abilities. - Proficiency in use of relevant computer applications. - Crisis communication and media relations expertise. - Strong digital, social media and marketing skills and techniques. - Experience in video production, editing and podcasting will be added advantage. - Highly organised and able to manage multiple campaigns at once. ## Key Responsibilities - Develop and implement Alumni Relations Strategic plan aligned with university annual plan. - Provide strategic guidance to alumni executive, groups and chapters to unlock support for university, activities, projects and initiatives. - Act as a key liaison person between the university and alumni - Create strong and positive connections. - Develop and implement strategies to keep alumni informed about university activities, events and projects. - Provide guidance to alumni chapters to facilitate their activities and smooth engagement. - Create and manage communication platforms to alumni - Collaborate with fundraising teams to encourage alumni donations, scholarships, research and university development. - Analyse alumni data and provide reports to university leadership on possible levels of engagement. - Monitor alumni career developments and achievements for university visibility. ## Terms & Conditions An attractive package which includes Medical Aid, Leave and Pension Benefits is offered; details will be disclosed to shortlisted candidates. ``` I need to format this as clean semantic HTML using: -

    for introductory paragraphs and general text -

    for section headers -
    • for list items - No
      , no
      , no CSS classes, no inline styles - Preserve ALL original content word-for-word - If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

      tags - Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble. Let's parse the structure: - First block is a paragraph: "Develop and implement Alumni Relations Strategic plan aligned with university annual plan. Provide strategic guidance to alumni executive, groups and chapters to unlock support for university, activities, projects and initiatives. Act as a key liaison person between the university and alumni. Create strong and positive connections. Develop and implement strategies to keep alumni informed about university activities, events and projects. Provide guidance to alumni chapters to facilitate their activities and smooth engagement. Create and manage communication platforms to alumni. Collaborate with fundraising teams to encourage alumni donations, scholarships, research and university development. Analyse alumni data and provide reports to university leadership on possible levels of engagement. Monitor alumni career developments and achievements for university visibility." - Then "## Position Overview" - this is a header, but the section under it seems empty? Actually, after "## Position Overview" there's a blank line, then "## Qualifications Required". So maybe "Position Overview" has no content, or the content is the first paragraph? Wait, the first paragraph might be the job description/intro, then "## Position Overview" is a header, but there's no text under it in the raw text. Actually, looking: after the first long paragraph, there's `## Position Overview` on its own line, then `## Qualifications Required`. So "Position Overview" might be a section header with no content, or maybe the first paragraph is considered the overview. But the instruction says: "Use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)". So I should treat `## Position Overview` as an

      , but since there's no content under it, maybe just the header tag? But the rule says "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

      tags". However, there are clear sections: Qualifications Required, Skills & Competencies, Key Responsibilities, Terms & Conditions. Position Overview might be intended as a section but has no body text. Let's list the sections I can identify: - First paragraph: general description/intro. Should be wrapped in

      . - `## Position Overview` - header, but no content. I'll still include the

      , but since there's no content, maybe just `

      Position Overview

      `. But the rule says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". If I output an empty h4, that's preserving the header text. However, the header `## Position Overview` is markdown-like, but I need to convert to

      . I'll output `

      Position Overview

      `. - `## Qualifications Required` - this has a list: - Master of Science Degree in Marketing, Media, Communication, Journalism or any related field. - Minimum of four (4) years working experience in Marketing, Media Communication or business. These are list items. Should be
      • items. The original has dashes, but rule says use
        • for list items. I need to convert the dashes to
        • items. But "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" - does that mean I can't change the formatting from dashes to HTML list tags? The rule says "Use
          • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". So I must use
            • . The content inside the li must be word-for-word the same. So I'll have `
              • Master of Science Degree in Marketing, Media, Communication, Journalism or any related field.
              • Minimum of four (4) years working experience in Marketing, Media Communication or business.
              `. - `## Skills & Competencies` - also a list with dashes. Same treatment: `
              • Excellent written and communication skills.
              • ...etc.
              `. - `## Key Responsibilities` - list with dashes, but these are also responsibilities. Could be
              • or just

                ? The rule says "Use

                • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". Key Responsibilities are duties, so
                  • . - `## Terms & Conditions` - this is a paragraph: "An attractive package which includes Medical Aid, Leave and Pension Benefits is offered; details will be disclosed to shortlisted candidates." Should be

                    . Now, about the first paragraph: it's general text, no section header above it explicitly, but it's the intro. I'll wrap it in

                    . Let's map out the HTML structure I'll produce: ```html

                    Develop and implement Alumni Relations Strategic plan aligned with university annual plan. Provide strategic guidance to alumni executive, groups and chapters to unlock support for university, activities, projects and initiatives.

                    Terms & Conditions

                    An attractive package which includes Medical Aid, Leave and Pension Benefits is offered; details will be disclosed to shortlisted candidates.

                    ``` Wait, the rule says: "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
                    s, no
                    tags". My HTML above has no classes, no styles, no divs, no br tags. Good. Rule: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". I need to make sure I'm not altering any text. Let's check each line. First paragraph: exact text from the job description. I'll copy exactly. `## Position Overview` becomes `

                    Position Overview

                    `. The original has `## Position Overview`. The rule says use

                    for section headers. I'm converting the markdown-like header to HTML h4. The text inside is preserved word-for-word: "Position Overview". Good. `## Qualifications Required` becomes `

                    Qualifications Required

                    `. The list items under it have dashes. I'm converting dashes to
                  • items, but the content text is preserved. The rule "Use
                    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)" implies I should use those tags. The content word-for-word means the text inside li should be exact. I'll ensure no extra words, no changes to spelling, punctuation. Similarly for `## Skills & Competencies` and `## Key Responsibilities`. `## Terms & Conditions` becomes `

                      Terms & Conditions

                      `. The paragraph under it: "An attractive package which includes Medical Aid, Leave and Pension Benefits is offered; details will be disclosed to shortlisted candidates." becomes `

                      An attractive package which includes Medical Aid, Leave and Pension Benefits is offered; details will be disclosed to shortlisted candidates.

                      `. One thing: the original job description has `## Position Overview` followed by a blank line, then `## Qualifications Required`. There's no content under Position Overview. I'll still output the h4, as it's a section header present in the source. The rule doesn't say to omit empty sections. Also, note that the first paragraph might be considered part of the job description intro, not under any header. I'll output it as

                      . Let's double-check the exact text from the prompt: ``` Develop and implement Alumni Relations Strategic plan aligned with university annual plan. Provide strategic guidance to alumni executive, groups and chapters to unlock support for university, activities, projects and initiatives. Act as a key liaison person between the university and alumni. Create strong and positive connections.

So I'll just output the HTML strings. One tricky part: the rule "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

                      tags". Here we have clear sections. Another thing: the dashes before list items. The rule says "Use

                      • for list items". So I must replace the dash bullets with
                      • items. But I need to preserve the content word-for-word. So the text inside li must be exactly as original, without the dash. That's fine.
