Jobs posted not appearing on student search

I have trouble replicating the bug. I logged in as a resident, posted a job logged out, logged in as a student and was able to see my job. I think I also see the job that you mentioned you posted (screenshot above). Is this the right job?

Ok another thing to mention is that currently we display only top ten jobs on the Job Search page (ordered by start_date) unless you select specific category. The logic being - there will be thousands of jobs in the database, we dont want to display all of them as soon as user loads the page, we just show some example jobs. When user specifies a given category, all jobs from given category are being displayed. So perhaps that's why if you didnt specify a category and the job start date was late - the job wouldnt have shown. Does this make sense?

We can change the behaviour to display more than 10 jobs on the page load. Just tell us what number you think is reasonable.

This is one of the main issues of not having an editable profile page - 8 is reasonable on registration as users won't want to spend time going through every option initially but not being able to update the list is obviously problematic. On this note is there a way I can update the list independently?

Hmm I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. I was trying to explain why you didnt see the job you posted as resident. This is expected behaviour because only 10 jobs are being displayed on Search Jobs page (https://beevr.herokuapp.com/browsejobs) - not every single job in the database. They are ordered by start date.

User can still see all jobs but only when they search for a specific category (in the dropdown list in the searchbar)

Is there anything left for us to do on this? If not, can we close this issue?
