 * How can I customize my email notification (for when an applicant has applied)
   so I can get the following (all application fields on the job)
 * Applicant full name
    Applicant email Applicant phone Applicant current location
 * I tried the following as just a test and it didn’t work:
 * if ( NULL != $applicant_fullname ):
    $message.= $applicant_name . ”; endif; if(
   NULL != $applicant_email ): $message.= $applicant_email . ”; endif;
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * You are fetching application fields in wrong way.We just give you an example 
   for fetching application form fields in right way.
    For example you want to display
   applicant email, first fetch email using **get_post_meta($post_id, $key, $single);**
   function replace $key with the “jobapp_” followed by the application form field
   name.
 * `$applicant_full_name = get_post_meta ( $post_id, 'jobapp_full_name', TRUE );`
 * `$applicant_email = get_post_meta ( $post_id, 'jobapp_email', TRUE );`
 * `$applicant_phone = get_post_meta ( $post_id, 'jobapp_phone', TRUE );`
 * Then use these variable in customization of the email templates.Field name must
   be same as you used for field labels of application form.
 * Thanks,
