Okay, I need to rewrite the title for this job vacancy post following the pattern from the examples given. The examples have the institution name, number of posts, and job title. Let me look at the content provided. The institution here is the Department of Small Business Development. The job title is Blended Finance. Now, I need to check how many posts there are. Looking through the details, I see “POST 37/61 : BLENDED FINANCE REF NO: O: BF” but I don’t see a number indicating multiple posts like the examples had (X2, X5). So maybe it’s just one post. Since the example titles include the number of posts, but this one doesn’t specify, I’ll assume it’s a single post. So the title should be something like “Department of Small Business Development Blended Finance Vacancy”. But I need to make sure it’s under 55 characters. Let me count: “Department of Small Business Development Blended Finance Vacancy” is quite long. Maybe shorten “Department of Small Business Development” to “DSBD” as an abbreviation? That would make it “DSBD Blended Finance Vacancy”. That’s shorter, but does it fit within 55 characters? Counting: D-S-B-D space B-l-e-n-d-e-d space F-i-n-a-n-c-e space V-a-c-a-n-c-y – that’s 4 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 7 = 29 characters. That’s well under 55, but is DSBD a recognized abbreviation? The full name might be better for SEO. Alternatively, “Department of Small Business Development Blended Finance Job” – still long. Maybe omit “Job” or “Vacancy” since the examples sometimes just have the title. Let me check the examples again: “Fundraising Consultant Vacancies (X2 Posts)”, “Social Worker Vacancies at The Department of Labour(X5)”, “Store Assistant Job opportunity at Spitz”, “Exxaro Maintenance Job Opportunity”. They use “Vacancies” or “Job opportunity”. So perhaps “Blended Finance Vacancy at Department of Small Business Development”. But that’s too long. How about “Department of Small Business Development Blended Finance Post”? That’s shorter. Or “Blended Finance Vacancy – Department of Small Business Development”. Hmm, need to prioritize keywords and keep it concise. Since the examples put the institution first, maybe stick to that pattern. “Department of Small Business Development Blended Finance Vacancy” is 56 characters. Just one over. Maybe remove “the”: “Department of Small Business Development Blended Finance Vacancy” is still 56. Alternatively, “DSBD Blended Finance Vacancy” is much shorter and clear. Since DSBD is used in the email ([email protected]), it’s acceptable. So I think “DSBD Blended Finance Vacancy” is better, within the limit and SEO-friendly. DSBD Blended Finance Vacancy

Alright, let me break down how I approached this task. The user provided a job post with a lot of HTML markup, ads, and some repetitive elements. They wanted it rewritten professionally, formatted cleanly, in simple English, and without unnecessary tags. Plus, they needed schema markup at the end.

First, I read through the original content to understand the job details: the position, salary, requirements, duties, etc. I noted the key sections that needed to be preserved, like the title, salary, location, requirements, duties, application details, and closing date.

Next, I focused on simplifying the language. The original had some jargon and slightly convoluted sentences. I rewrote them to be clearer and more straightforward. For example, “The Department of Small Business Development is an equal opportunity & affirmative action employer” became “The Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer committed to diversity and inclusion.”

I organized the information into logical sections with headings to improve readability. I made sure each section (like Requirements, Duties, How to Apply) was clearly separated and easy to scan. I also ensured that all the details from the original post were included, nothing was missed.

Then, I handled the application instructions. The original mentioned email submissions, so I clearly listed the email address and the reference number format. I also included the closing date and additional notes about the application process, like the need for a signed Z83 form and a CV.

For the schema markup, I structured it to include all required properties: datePosted, description, hiringOrganization, jobLocation, and title. I included recommended properties like baseSalary and employmentType where possible. I made sure the dates were in ISO 8601 format and the salary was correctly noted in ZAR.

I avoided any unnecessary HTML tags as instructed, sticking to basic formatting like paragraphs and headings. I didn’t include any styles, scripts, or ads from the original post.

Finally, I reviewed the entire output to ensure it met all the user’s requirements: professional tone, clean formatting, simple English, all details included, and proper schema markup at the end. I made sure the schema was within script tags and placed at the very end of the document as specified.
