When registering a .JOBS domain, you must follow specific requirements.

Most applications will be verified within 3 business days but can take as long as 30 days. Upon positive validation, the .JOBS registry will notify us when yourcompanyname.JOBS has been "created", thereby allowing it to become visible on the Internet.
