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

I second the change of name to "Vacancy". - [[User: NTollervey|ntoll]]

I disagree, "vacancy" has no context. It could refer to anything - eg "hotel vacancy".

==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". Manually (humans) or automatic (machines) -- [[User:Christian|Christian]] 05:48, 28 Apr 2007 (PDT)
