Okay, let’s see. I need to rewrite the title of the job posting for the Economist: Trade position. The user provided examples like “Fundraising Consultant Vacancies (X2 Posts)” and “Social Worker Vacancies at The Department of Labour(X5)”, so I should follow that pattern. First, identify the institution name. The job posting mentions NAMC (National Agricultural Marketing Council) in the disclaimer, so that’s the institution. Next, determine the number of posts. The original title doesn’t specify a number, but the reference number is HRREC008/25, which might suggest it’s a single post. However, the user wants a number in the title. Since there’s no explicit mention of multiple posts, I’ll assume it’s one vacancy. Now, the job title is “Economist: Trade”. Following the examples, it should be “Economist Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)”. Wait, the user said to keep it under 55 characters. Let me check: “Economist Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)” is 34 characters, which is good. But should I include “Trade” in the title? The examples didn’t have specifics, but since it’s part of the job title, maybe. “Economist: Trade Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)” is longer, 41 characters. Still under 55. Alternatively, “Trade Economist Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)” is cleaner and 35 characters. Which one is better? Since the examples had the general title first, maybe “Economist Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)” is more in line with them. But including “Trade” might be better for SEO and specificity. The user wants SEO-friendly, so including “Trade” would help. Let’s go with “Trade Economist Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)”. Yes, that’s concise, includes the institution, the number of posts, and is under 55 characters. Trade Economist Vacancies at NAMC (X1 Post)

Alright, let’s tackle this job post rewrite. First, I need to understand the original content thoroughly. It’s for an Economist: Trade position in Pretoria, permanent, reporting to the Manager: Trade. The reference number is HRREC008/25.

The key sections are Knowledge and Skills, Key Duties and Responsibilities, and some application instructions. There are also share buttons and ads, but I can ignore those as per the user’s request.

I’ll start by organizing the information into clear sections. The user wants it professional and natural, so I’ll use simple English and clean formatting. I’ll make sure all details are included, like the reference number and the disclaimer about POPIA.

Since there’s no application deadline mentioned, I’ll note it as “Open until filled.” The application is via email, so I’ll display [email protected] and mention the subject line requirement clearly.

For the schema markup, I need to include all required properties. The date posted isn’t given, but the URL has 2025/10/12, so I’ll use “2025-10-12”. The description will be the full job posting text. The hiring organization is NAMC, job location is Pretoria, title is Economist: Trade. No salary is provided, so I’ll skip that. Employment type is permanent.

I’ll structure the HTML with spans and ensure it’s clean without any unnecessary tags. The schema script will be at the end, properly formatted with all the required data.

Finally, I’ll double-check to make sure all original details are included and that the formatting is neat and professional, as requested.
