Implement JobService
Add validation rules

Phase 3: API (6-8h)

Create JobsController
Implement 8 endpoints:
- GET /api/jobs
- GET /api/jobs/{id}
- GET /api/jobs/slug/{slug}
- GET /api/jobs/{id}/similar
- POST /api/jobs
- POST /api/jobs/{id}/publish

- DELETE /api/jobs/{id}

Phase 4: Frontend Integration (4-6h)

Create JobHttpService
Update Index.razor to use API
Update Details.razor to use API
Update Submit.razor to use API

Phase 5: Features (4-6h)

Email notifications
Admin moderation
Rate limiting
Analytics tracking

Testing (4-6h)

🎯 Quick Start for Backend Developers

1. Read Documentation (30 minutes)

Start here:

docs/jobs-executive-summary.md (10 min)
docs/GETTING-STARTED-BACKEND.md (15 min)
docs/QUICK-REFERENCE-jobs.md (5 min)

Then reference as needed:

docs/jobs-backend-implementation-guide.md (detailed guide)
docs/jobs-frontend-backend-integration-guide.md (API specs)

2. Setup Environment (10 minutes)

# Clone and checkout
git clone https://github.com/dotnetcameroon/website
cd website
git checkout feature/jobs

# Restore packages
dotnet restore

# Verify build
dotnet build

# Run app
cd src/app
dotnet watch run

Open: https://localhost:8000/jobs

3. Start Implementation (Phase 1)

Create Job Entity:

File: src/app.domain/Models/JobAggregate/Job.cs

public class Job
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string CompanyName { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public JobType Type { get; set; }
    public JobStatus Status { get; set; } = JobStatus.PendingReview;
    public DateTime CreatedAt { get; set; } = DateTime.UtcNow;
    // + 15 more properties (see full spec in docs)
}

public enum JobType { FullTime = 1, PartTime = 2, Contract = 3, Freelance = 4, Internship = 5 }
public enum JobStatus { Draft = 0, PendingReview = 1, Published = 2, Closed = 3, Rejected = 4 }
