Not sure what to call what I want to do

yeah the point of me writing up an example was for you to actually change your content.

Still working on that I just needed to have something functional for a demo.

This puts me back in the same spot >>> where I am not sure how to iterate over multiple "job" options.

where I am not sure how to iterate over multiple "job" options.

each key should be a nested dictionary of that jobs specific details. If you want to iterate over the jobs then you would just iterate over the dictionaries keys.
