Another thing that can be done is to update the system of the device. An out-of-date system can make simple operations like Job posting difficult or impossible.
Go to your settings and have your system updated.
Ensure you have space in your device. A minimum of 200MB of ROM is needed to operate the Facebook app.
Having anything less can crash the Facebook app and make it difficult for you to manage a Job post on the platform.
Clearing out the cache of the app in your device can be a solution if you have an updated system and ROM space yet have issues doing certain things online including job posts.

- Select “Apps and Notifications”.
- Press “Manage Apps” or “See All Apps”.
- Choose the Facebook app.

App Issues
The Facebook app might be the one with the problem. An out-of-date Facebook app is bound to malfunction. To ensure the proficiency of the Facebook app, it is constantly being updated by Facebook.
To enjoy the usage of the app, you must have it upgraded whenever the need arises.
Go to Play Store to have the app upgraded. If not, you may have issues carrying out certain actions on Facebook one of which might be making a Job post.
Another problem with the app that can make it difficult to use for Job posts can be an installation problem.
If your Facebook app is not installed, you will not be able to make use of it. Have the app installed on your app’s page and make use of it directly from your apps.
Internet connection
Of course, you need a cellular connection to publish and manage a Job post on Facebook.
So, if you are not connected to an internet source, you will not be able to make a Job post on your page. Therefore, it is necessary to check your internet connection.
It is possible to navigate through Facebook without having a strong data connection or even being connected to the internet at all.
This is why it is important to confirm your internet access. Do you have a strong connection to cellular data? If not, then, make sure your device is connected.
A wi-fi can save the day if a normal cellular connection is not coming through.
Browser Issues
Your browser can make internet usage effortless and swift and can make performing actions online almost impossible.
If you access your Facebook page via the Facebook website, then, the web browser you use is of utmost importance.
Even with an updated Facebook app, good internet connection, and a good and up-to-date device, you will still struggle with making Job postings if your preferred web browser is out of date, has buggy software or is slow.
Get the updated version of your preferred browser or make use of a different and better browser if need be.
