Workplace Experience Student: Research and Development Job Opportunity at Tiger Brands

Alright, so I need to rewrite this job post for a graduate program at Tiger Brands. Let me start by understanding the original content. The job is a 12-month contract in Bryanston, targeting recent graduates in food sciences. The responsibilities include project support, problem-solving, teamwork, and gaining work experience.

First, I’ll structure the post clearly. The original has sections like “About the job,” “Responsibilities,” “Qualifications,” etc. I’ll keep that but make it cleaner. The language should be simple and professional. Avoid jargon but keep it engaging.

I notice the original uses “THE JOB AT A GLANCE” and “WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE TABLE.” These are good headings but could be smoother. Maybe “Role Overview” and “Key Responsibilities” would sound better.

The qualifications list needs to be concise. The original mentions citizenship, location, safety qualification, etc. I’ll list these as bullet points for clarity. Also, the required documents should be clearly itemized.

The “About Us” section is a bit lengthy. I’ll condense it while still conveying Tiger Brands’ leadership in FMCG and their commitment to growth and diversity.

I’ll make sure the formatting is neat with proper spacing and headings. No markdown, just plain HTML wrapped in a span. Each section will have a heading and bullet points where necessary. The tone should be inviting, encouraging graduates to apply, and highlighting the opportunities they’ll get.

Lastly, I’ll double-check that all essential info is included: contract duration, location, responsibilities, qualifications, application docs, and company info. I’ll ensure the language flows naturally and is easy to read.
