Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML with

for paragraphs,

for section headers,
  • for list items. No CSS, no divs, no br. Must preserve original content word-for-word. We need to parse the given raw text, which includes many
    tags, , ,   etc. We need to extract the content and format accordingly. We must not add or remove content. So we need to keep all text exactly as appears, preserving spaces? Probably we can keep the text but remove HTML tags and replace with appropriate semantic tags. We need to identify sections: The raw text includes: - A div with Why Airtel Africa? then some paragraphs about Airtel Africa. - Then a div with About the Role: then a span with description. - Then a paragraph about Airtel IoT description. - Then a div with equal opportunity employer statement. - Then a p with Educational Qualifications   and ul list. - Then p with Relevant Experience & Functional / Technical Skills and ul. - Then p with Other requirements  and ul. - Then p with Sales Strategy and Execution and ul. - Then p with Customer Engagement and ul. - Then p with Product Expertise and ul. - Then p with Support to Product Strategy & Development and ul. - Then p with Collaboration and ul. - Then p with Sales Administration and ul. - Then p with Training and Development and ul. We need to convert each ... that acts as a section header into

    . The preceding paragraphs (like "Why Airtel Africa?" and the following paragraphs) should be

    . Also the "About the Role:" header and the following description paragraphs. We need to preserve the content exactly, including non-breaking spaces ( ) and ampersand (&). Should we keep them as is? Probably yes, we should keep the characters as they appear in the source:   and &. However, in HTML output, these entities will be interpreted. But we are outputting HTML; we could keep them as is; they will render as spaces and &. That's fine. We must not add extra content. So we need to output something like:

    Why Airtel Africa?

    At Airtel Africa, we act with passion, energy, and a can-do attitude. Innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit drive us. If you like “ordinary”, then we are not for you.

    We champion diversity. We anticipate, adapt, and deliver solutions that enrich the lives of communities we serve. we roll up our sleeves to win with our customers.

    By choosing Airtel, you choose to be part of a winning team. All this in addition to a brilliant opportunity to build a career in your field of expertise, across our different operating companies in Africa.

    But note there were some   and blank lines. We should preserve the text content but we can collapse multiple spaces? The instruction: Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That means we must keep exactly the same characters, including spaces and   entities. However, converting to HTML may change representation of   but it's still the same entity. If we remove them, we would be removing content. So we should keep them. But the raw text includes many   inside divs, like:

     
    That's a blank line with a non-breaking space. If we discard the
    and
    and just keep the   as a space? The   is a character entity representing a space. If we output it as a literal space, we lose the entity but the visual result is same. However, the instruction says preserve original content word-for-word. The original content includes the literal characters " " (six characters: &, n, b, s, p, ;). If we output a regular space, we changed it. So we need to keep the entity as is. Similarly for &. Thus we need to output the text exactly as it appears, but with tags replaced. Simplify: We can strip out all HTML tags (
    , , ,
    , etc.) but keep the text nodes, including the entities. Then we need to wrap appropriate tags around sections. But we need to detect where sections start. The original had Why Airtel Africa? inside a div. After stripping tags, we get "Why Airtel Africa?" as text. Then after that there is a div with
      (just whitespace). Then a div with the paragraph text. Thus after stripping tags, we will have a sequence of text nodes separated by whitespace. We need to reconstruct paragraphs. Better approach: We can treat each
    as a block; but we are not allowed to use
    in output. So we need to convert each div that contains meaningful text into

    (or

    if it contains a that is a header). However, some divs contain only
    and   (blank lines). We should ignore those (i.e., not output anything) because they are just formatting. But if we ignore them, we are removing content (the  ). However, those   are just whitespace; removing them may be considered removing content. But maybe it's acceptable because they are not meaningful content. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That seems strict. However, typical tasks like this ignore whitespace only formatting. But to be safe, we could output an empty

    with the   inside? But

    cannot contain just  ? It could. But that would be weird. Given typical job description cleaning, we can ignore blank lines. I think it's acceptable. Thus we will produce:

    Why Airtel Africa?

    At Airtel Africa, we act with passion, energy, and a can-do attitude. Innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit drive us. If you like “ordinary”, then we are not for you.

    We champion diversity. We anticipate, adapt, and deliver solutions that enrich the lives of communities we serve. we roll up our sleeves to win with our customers.

    Then

    About the Role:

    The Product Sales Specialist – IoT (Internet of Things) is responsible for driving the sales and adoption of Airtel IoT solutions by engaging with customers, understanding their business requirements, and delivering tailored connectivity and digital transformation solutions. This role works closely with OpCo sales teams, product management, marketing, and technical teams to ensure.

    Airtel IoT is a portfolio of connectivity and managed solutions that enables enterprises to securely connect devices, assets, vehicles, sensors and machines to collect, transmit and analyze data in real time. IoT solutions support use cases such as asset tracking, fleet management, smart metering, industrial monitoring, agriculture, utilities, healthcare, mining and smart city applications through technologies including NB-IoT, LTE-M, 4G/5G and satellite connectivity.

    Then we have the equal opportunity statement: Airtel Africa is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and remain fully committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This is inside a div. Should that be a header? It's a statement, not a section header. Probably treat as

    . But it's bolded. We'll output as

    ...

    ? But we are not allowed to keep because we need to use semantic HTML; we could keep inside

    as it's inline. The instruction: Use

    for introductory paragraphs and general text. It didn't forbid using inside

    . It only said use

    for section headers,
    • for list items. It didn't forbid other tags like . So we can keep inside

      . However, we must preserve original content word-for-word, so we should keep the tags as they were. But we are converting to HTML; we can keep them. Thus for the equal opportunity line:

      Airtel Africa is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and remain fully committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

      Then we have the Educational Qualifications header:

      Educational Qualifications  

      followed by ul. The header is inside a p with span and strong. We need to convert that to

      Educational Qualifications  

      . Keep the    inside. Similarly for each subsequent header. Thus final HTML will be a series of

      and

      and

      • . We must not use
        . So we will output directly. Now we need to preserve the content inside
      • exactly, including trailing spaces and  . The original li elements have with text and a trailing   before
      • . Eg:
      • Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, Computer Science, Engineering, Business or related field. 
      • . So we need to keep that   after the period inside the li. We'll output
      • Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, Computer Science, Engineering, Business or related field. 
      • inside
          . But we could also drop the as it's just styling; but to preserve content word-for-word, we should keep the . However, the instruction only mandated use of
          • for list items; it didn't forbid other tags inside. So we can keep . Thus we will output
            • ... 
            . Similarly for all lists. Now we need to ensure we don't add extra whitespace that wasn't there. We'll just output as described. Let's construct the final HTML. We'll go step by step. Start:

            Why Airtel Africa?

            At Airtel Africa, we act with passion, energy, and a can-do attitude. Innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit drive us. If you like “ordinary”, then we are not for you.

            We champion diversity. We anticipate, adapt, and deliver solutions that enrich the lives of communities we serve. we roll up our sleeves to win with our customers.

            Then blank line? There was a div with   after that; we ignore. Then:

            Note: The original had a wrapping the whole text. We'll keep it. Then there was a div with
              (ignore). Then a div with equal opportunity statement:

            Airtel Africa is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and remain fully committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

            Airtel Africa is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and remain fully committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

            ...
