0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Job order
modification message (JOBMOD) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
A message specifying modifications of a previously sent Job
Order Message of one or more offered jobs or vacancies in an
enterprise or organization. The Job Order Modification Message
is transmitted from an employer or employment agency to an
employment office. The information and the changes detailed in
the message are related to profession, experiences, salaries,
education, work and contract conditions.
1.2 Field of Application
The Job order modification message may be used for both
national and international trade. It is based on universal
commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of
business or industry.
1.3 Principles
The intention of the message is to provide modifications and
detailed information for one or more jobs or vacancies offered
by an employer. A Job Order Modification Message is transmitted
from an employer or employment agency to an employment agency.
A Job Order Modification Message may contain detailed
information about the requirements of an applicant for the job,
e.g. age, sex, occupation or occupation type, location of the
job, education, knowledge, experiences. A Job Order
Modification Message may also contain detailed information of
the remuneration offered, a job application and/or arrangements
for an interview.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION
4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching
Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory,
conditional and repeating requirements.
The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole
message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and
implementation of the message:
All specified dates and times should be in the format 'yymmdd'
or 'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree
that there is a functional requirement for an alternative
format.
Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the
required period as indicated in the format qualifier (weeks,
months, etc.) Where a choice of code or text is given only the
code element should be used wherever possible.
Conditional data that is not required in the message should not
be included.
Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent
segments do not conflict with the segment qualifier of the
trigger segment of a group.
