 * Hi All,
 * I am trying to add few validations to Job Category Field shown on frontend-Job
   Listings Page. The “job-filters.php” file in “job_manager” folder of my theme
   displays the job categories filter using the function-job_manager_dropdown_categories();
 * Where is the function defined? Is there a tutorial or a reference on this?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Regards,
    Dinesh C.
