"job-listing" is clunky, would "vacancy" be a better name?

I second the change of name to "Vacancy". - ntoll

Christian Pfetzing

What about "job-offer"? Reason: People with low english-skills often know "offer" but not "vacancy". On the other hand: Why not easily "job"? With an attribute you can specify if it is a "job-offer" or a "job-application". So human beeings/job-platforms can easily compare "offers" and "applications".
