          - `currencyCode` string — The three-letter currency code defined in ISO 4217.
    - `employmentTypes` string[] — The employment type(s) of a job, for example, full time or part time.
    - `company` string — Required. The resource name of the company listing the job. The format is "projects/{project_id}/tenants/{tenant_id}/companies/{company_id}". For example, "projects/foo/tenants/bar/companies/baz".
    - `requisitionId` string — Required. The requisition ID, also referred to as the posting ID, is assigned by the client to identify a job. This field is intended to be used by clients for client identification and tracking of postings. A job isn't allowed to be created if there is another job with the same company, language_code and requisition_id. The maximum number of allowed characters is 255.
    - `degreeTypes` string[] — The desired education degrees for the job, such as Bachelors, Masters.
    - `responsibilities` string — A description of job responsibilities. The use of this field is recommended as an alternative to using the more general description field. This field accepts and sanitizes HTML input, and also accepts bold, italic, ordered list, and unordered list markup tags. The maximum number of allowed characters is 10,000.
    - `jobLevel` 'JOB_LEVEL_UNSPECIFIED' | 'ENTRY_LEVEL' | 'EXPERIENCED' | 'MANAGER' | 'DIRECTOR' | 'EXECUTIVE' — The experience level associated with the job, such as "Entry Level".
    - `postingUpdateTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The timestamp when this job posting was last updated.
    - `processingOptions` ProcessingOptions — Options for job processing.
      - `disableStreetAddressResolution` boolean — If set to `true`, the service does not attempt to resolve a more precise address for the job.
      - `htmlSanitization` 'HTML_SANITIZATION_UNSPECIFIED' | 'HTML_SANITIZATION_DISABLED' | 'SIMPLE_FORMATTING_ONLY' — Option for job HTML content sanitization. Applied fields are: * description * applicationInfo.instruction * incentives * qualifications * responsibilities HTML tags in these fields may be stripped if sanitiazation isn't disabled. Defaults to HtmlSanitization.SIMPLE_FORMATTING_ONLY.
    - `jobBenefits` string[] — The benefits included with the job.
    - `promotionValue` integer — A promotion value of the job, as determined by the client. The value determines the sort order of the jobs returned when searching for jobs using the featured jobs search call, with higher promotional values being returned first and ties being resolved by relevance sort. Only the jobs with a promotionValue >0 are returned in a FEATURED_JOB_SEARCH. Default value is 0, and negative values are treated as 0.
    - `companyDisplayName` string — Output only. Display name of the company listing the job.
    - `postingRegion` 'POSTING_REGION_UNSPECIFIED' | 'ADMINISTRATIVE_AREA' | 'NATION' | 'TELECOMMUTE' — The job PostingRegion (for example, state, country) throughout which the job is available. If this field is set, a LocationFilter in a search query within the job region finds this job posting if an exact location match isn't specified. If this field is set to PostingRegion.NATION or PostingRegion.ADMINISTRATIVE_AREA, setting job Job.addresses to the same location level as this field is strongly recommended.
    - `postingExpireTime` string, google-datetime — Strongly recommended for the best service experience. The expiration timestamp of the job. After this timestamp, the job is marked as expired, and it no longer appears in search results. The expired job can't be listed by the ListJobs API, but it can be retrieved with the GetJob API or updated with the UpdateJob API or deleted with the DeleteJob API. An expired job can be updated and opened again by using a future expiration timestamp. Updating an expired job fails if there is another existing open job with same company, language_code and requisition_id. The expired jobs are retained in our system for 90 days. However, the overall expired job count cannot exceed 3 times the maximum number of open jobs over previous 7 days. If this threshold is exceeded, expired jobs are cleaned out in order of earliest expire time. Expired jobs are no longer accessible after they are cleaned out. Invalid timestamps are ignored, and treated as expire time not provided. If the timestamp is before the instant request is made, the job is treated as expired immediately on creation. This kind of job can not be updated. And when creating a job with past timestamp, the posting_publish_time must be set before posting_expire_time. The purpose of this feature is to allow other objects, such as ApplicationInfo, to refer a job that didn't exist in the system prior to becoming expired. If you want to modify a job that was expired on creation, delete it and create a new one. If this value isn't provided at the time of job creation or is invalid, the job posting expires after 30 days from the job's creation time. For example, if the job was created on 2017/01/01 13:00AM UTC with an unspecified expiration date, the job expires after 2017/01/31 13:00AM UTC. If this value isn't provided on job update, it depends on the field masks set by UpdateJobRequest.update_mask. If the field masks include job_end_time, or the masks are empty meaning that every field is updated, the job posting expires after 30 days from the job's last update time. Otherwise the expiration date isn't updated.
    - `postingPublishTime` string, google-datetime — The timestamp this job posting was most recently published. The default value is the time the request arrives at the server. Invalid timestamps are ignored.
    - `qualifications` string — A description of the qualifications required to perform the job. The use of this field is recommended as an alternative to using the more general description field. This field accepts and sanitizes HTML input, and also accepts bold, italic, ordered list, and unordered list markup tags. The maximum number of allowed characters is 10,000.
    - `jobEndTime` string, google-datetime — The end timestamp of the job. Typically this field is used for contracting engagements. Invalid timestamps are ignored.
    - `postingCreateTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The timestamp when this job posting was created.
    - `jobStartTime` string, google-datetime — The start timestamp of the job in UTC time zone. Typically this field is used for contracting engagements. Invalid timestamps are ignored.
    - `derivedInfo` JobDerivedInfo — Derived details about the job posting.
      - `locations` Location[] — Structured locations of the job, resolved from Job.addresses. locations are exactly matched to Job.addresses in the same order.
        - `locationType` 'LOCATION_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'COUNTRY' | 'ADMINISTRATIVE_AREA' | 'SUB_ADMINISTRATIVE_AREA' | 'LOCALITY' | 'POSTAL_CODE' | 'SUB_LOCALITY' | 'SUB_LOCALITY_1' | 'SUB_LOCALITY_2' | 'NEIGHBORHOOD' | 'STREET_ADDRESS' — The type of a location, which corresponds to the address lines field of google.type.PostalAddress. For example, "Downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA" has a type of LocationType.NEIGHBORHOOD, and "Kansas City, KS, USA" has a type of LocationType.LOCALITY.
        - `postalAddress` PostalAddress — Represents a postal address, such as for postal delivery or payments addresses. With a postal address, a postal service can deliver items to a premise, P.O. box, or similar. A postal address is not intended to model geographical locations like roads, towns, or mountains. In typical usage, an address would be created by user input or from importing existing data, depending on the type of process. Advice on address input or editing: - Use an internationalization-ready address widget such as https://github.com/google/libaddressinput. - Users should not be presented with UI elements for input or editing of fields outside countries where that field is used. For more guidance on how to use this schema, see: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6397478.
          - `revision` integer — The schema revision of the `PostalAddress`. This must be set to 0, which is the latest revision. All new revisions **must** be backward compatible with old revisions.
          - `locality` string — Optional. Generally refers to the city or town portion of the address. Examples: US city, IT comune, UK post town. In regions of the world where localities are not well defined or do not fit into this structure well, leave `locality` empty and use `address_lines`.
          - `administrativeArea` string — Optional. Highest administrative subdivision which is used for postal addresses of a country or region. For example, this can be a state, a province, an oblast, or a prefecture. For Spain, this is the province and not the autonomous community (for example, "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia"). Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. For example, in Switzerland, this should be left unpopulated.
          - `sortingCode` string — Optional. Additional, country-specific, sorting code. This is not used in most regions. Where it is used, the value is either a string like "CEDEX", optionally followed by a number (for example, "CEDEX 7"), or just a number alone, representing the "sector code" (Jamaica), "delivery area indicator" (Malawi) or "post office indicator" (Côte d'Ivoire).
          - `sublocality` string — Optional. Sublocality of the address. For example, this can be a neighborhood, borough, or district.
          - `regionCode` string — Required. CLDR region code of the country/region of the address. This is never inferred and it is up to the user to ensure the value is correct. See https://cldr.unicode.org/ and https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/30/supplemental/territory_information.html for details. Example: "CH" for Switzerland.
          - `postalCode` string — Optional. Postal code of the address. Not all countries use or require postal codes to be present, but where they are used, they may trigger additional validation with other parts of the address (for example, state or zip code validation in the United States).
          - `languageCode` string — Optional. BCP-47 language code of the contents of this address (if known). This is often the UI language of the input form or is expected to match one of the languages used in the address' country/region, or their transliterated equivalents. This can affect formatting in certain countries, but is not critical to the correctness of the data and will never affect any validation or other non-formatting related operations. If this value is not known, it should be omitted (rather than specifying a possibly incorrect default). Examples: "zh-Hant", "ja", "ja-Latn", "en".
          - `organization` string — Optional. The name of the organization at the address.
          - `recipients` string[] — Optional. The recipient at the address. This field may, under certain circumstances, contain multiline information. For example, it might contain "care of" information.
          - `addressLines` string[] — Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address. Because values in `address_lines` do not have type information and may sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (for example, "Austin, TX"), it is important that the line order is clear. The order of address lines should be "envelope order" for the country or region of the address. In places where this can vary (for example, Japan), `address_language` is used to make it explicit (for example, "ja" for large-to-small ordering and "ja-Latn" or "en" for small-to-large). In this way, the most specific line of an address can be selected based on the language. The minimum permitted structural representation of an address consists of a `region_code` with all remaining information placed in the `address_lines`. It would be possible to format such an address very approximately without geocoding, but no semantic reasoning could be made about any of the address components until it was at least partially resolved. Creating an address only containing a `region_code` and `address_lines` and then geocoding is the recommended way to handle completely unstructured addresses (as opposed to guessing which parts of the address should be localities or administrative areas).
        - `latLng` LatLng — An object that represents a latitude/longitude pair. This is expressed as a pair of doubles to represent degrees latitude and degrees longitude. Unless specified otherwise, this object must conform to the WGS84 standard. Values must be within normalized ranges.
          - `longitude` number, double — The longitude in degrees. It must be in the range [-180.0, +180.0].
          - `latitude` number, double — The latitude in degrees. It must be in the range [-90.0, +90.0].
        - `radiusMiles` number, double — Radius in miles of the job location. This value is derived from the location bounding box in which a circle with the specified radius centered from google.type.LatLng covers the area associated with the job location. For example, currently, "Mountain View, CA, USA" has a radius of 6.17 miles.
      - `jobCategories` string[] — Job categories derived from Job.title and Job.description.
    - `title` string — Required. The title of the job, such as "Software Engineer" The maximum number of allowed characters is 500.
    - `customAttributes` object — A map of fields to hold both filterable and non-filterable custom job attributes that are not covered by the provided structured fields. The keys of the map are strings up to 64 bytes and must match the pattern: `a-zA-Z*`. For example, key0LikeThis or KEY_1_LIKE_THIS. At most 100 filterable and at most 100 unfilterable keys are supported. For filterable `string_values`, across all keys at most 200 values are allowed, with each string no more than 255 characters. For unfilterable `string_values`, the maximum total size of `string_values` across all keys is 50KB.
    - `name` string — Required during job update. The resource name for the job. This is generated by the service when a job is created. The format is "projects/{project_id}/tenants/{tenant_id}/jobs/{job_id}". For example, "projects/foo/tenants/bar/jobs/baz". Use of this field in job queries and API calls is preferred over the use of requisition_id since this value is unique.
    - `description` string — Required. The description of the job, which typically includes a multi-paragraph description of the company and related information. Separate fields are provided on the job object for responsibilities, qualifications, and other job characteristics. Use of these separate job fields is recommended. This field accepts and sanitizes HTML input, and also accepts bold, italic, ordered list, and unordered list markup tags. The maximum number of allowed characters is 100,000.
    - `incentives` string — A description of bonus, commission, and other compensation incentives associated with the job not including salary or pay. The maximum number of allowed characters is 10,000.
    - `languageCode` string — The language of the posting. This field is distinct from any requirements for fluency that are associated with the job. Language codes must be in BCP-47 format, such as "en-US" or "sr-Latn". For more information, see [Tags for Identifying Languages](https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47){: class="external" target="_blank" }. If this field is unspecified and Job.description is present, detected language code based on Job.description is assigned, otherwise defaults to 'en_US'.
    - `addresses` string[] — Strongly recommended for the best service experience. Location(s) where the employer is looking to hire for this job posting. Specifying the full street address(es) of the hiring location enables better API results, especially job searches by commute time. At most 50 locations are allowed for best search performance. If a job has more locations, it is suggested to split it into multiple jobs with unique requisition_ids (e.g. 'ReqA' becomes 'ReqA-1', 'ReqA-2', and so on.) as multiple jobs with the same company, language_code and requisition_id are not allowed. If the original requisition_id must be preserved, a custom field should be used for storage. It is also suggested to group the locations that close to each other in the same job for better search experience. Jobs with multiple addresses must have their addresses with the same LocationType to allow location filtering to work properly. (For example, a Job with addresses "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA, USA" and "London, UK" may not have location filters applied correctly at search time since the first is a LocationType.STREET_ADDRESS and the second is a LocationType.LOCALITY.) If a job needs to have multiple addresses, it is suggested to split it into multiple jobs with same LocationTypes. The maximum number of allowed characters is 500.
  - `updateMask` string, google-fieldmask — Strongly recommended for the best service experience. Be aware that it will also increase latency when checking the status of a batch operation. If update_mask is provided, only the specified fields in Job are updated. Otherwise all the fields are updated. A field mask to restrict the fields that are updated. Only top level fields of Job are supported. If update_mask is provided, The Job inside JobResult will only contains fields that is updated, plus the Id of the Job. Otherwise, Job will include all fields, which can yield a very large response.
