Jobs - The jobs list page is where users can see all published jobs on your website.
Jobs Dashboard - This allows you to manage your own jobs.
Post Job - This allows you to post new jobs or edit already posted/draft jobs.

Page "Jobs" contains a shortcode [jb_jobs /] that shows a list of all published jobs on your website. Users can use this page to search and filter job posts.

Page "Jobs Dashboard" contains a shortcode [jb_jobs_dashboard /] this allows users to publish drafts, edit or delete posted jobs. This is only available for logged-in users.
