Alright, let me break down how I approached this task. First, I needed to rewrite the job post to make it professional, natural, and cleanly formatted. I started by identifying the key sections: application requirements, disclaimer, vacancy details, minimum requirements, primary function, key performance areas, leading and core competencies, and application instructions.

I rephrased the content to use simpler English while maintaining all necessary details. For instance, I changed “APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS” to “Application Requirements” for a more natural tone. I also ensured that each section was clearly separated for better readability.

Next, I organized the information into bullet points where applicable, making it easier to scan. I made sure to include all the original details, like the need for certified documents and the disclaimer about the City of Johannesburg’s recruitment policies.

For the application instructions, I highlighted the online application link and included the contact person’s details. Since the closing date was provided, I kept that in, but noted that if it weren’t available, I’d use “Open until filled.”

Then, I needed to add the schema markup at the end. I carefully extracted all relevant job details: title, description, hiring organization, job location, datePosted, and baseSalary. I structured the schema to include both required and recommended properties, ensuring the currency was in ZAR as specified.

I avoided any unnecessary HTML tags and kept the output clean, starting with a span tag as requested. I also linked the application URL properly and made sure the email was displayed if provided, though in this case, it wasn’t.

Throughout the process, I focused on clarity and completeness, ensuring that the final output matched the user’s specifications precisely.
