Alright, let me tackle this job post rewrite. First, I need to understand the original content. It’s a job advertisement from Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) with multiple positions. The user wants it rewritten professionally and naturally, using simple English, and formatted cleanly.

I’ll start by identifying all the job posts: there are five different positions. Each has its own requirements, duties, salary, etc. I need to structure each clearly. The user mentioned avoiding any unnecessary tags, so I’ll stick to basic HTML like headings, paragraphs, and lists.

First, I’ll create an introduction paragraph about Stats SA, summarizing their mission and competencies from the original content. Then, I’ll list each job with clear headings. For each job, I’ll break down the requirements and duties into bullet points for readability. I’ll make sure to include all details like salary, location, contract term, and reference numbers.

The application instructions mention an online link, so I’ll highlight that prominently. The closing date is provided, so I’ll include that. For the note section, I’ll list the application requirements in bullet points for clarity.

Now, for the schema markup. I need to create JSON-LD scripts for each job. The required fields are datePosted, description, hiringOrganization, jobLocation, and title. The recommended fields include baseSalary and employmentType. I’ll format the salary with currency and value, and specify the employmentType as “CONTRACT” since these are fixed-term positions.

I’ll ensure the schema is accurate, using the correct ISO date format and including all relevant job details. Each job’s schema will be placed at the end of the post.

Finally, I’ll review the entire document to ensure it’s clean, well-formatted, and free of any unnecessary tags. The language should be simple and professional, making it easy for applicants to understand and follow the application process.
