1. which file and code do i alter to stretch the job listings? (1st view) , it appears to be quite small currently
here is a screenshot of it : http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/10/6/1486891/jobpostings.bmp i need it to stretch across as the arrow indicates in the screenshot (im using 1.5.8 legacy yootheme template)

Jobline itself doesn't limit the size, but it does use some default Joomla css classes. You'll have to edit your Joomla template css to get the desired result.

2. how do i get a field i have added in the back-end of jobposting, to appear in the job description details?

e.g. i have clicked on fields in the back-end, and easily added 'closing date of application', as an extra field i want to appear but it doesnt appear in the job description... i guess i have to add the field somewhere else to make it work? where? how?

This should be made clearer in the documentation, but is actually available. I'm working on getting the docs a lot better for the next version of Jobline.

Here's how to do it (taken from the documentation):
Customized fields are retrieved by adding "attribs_" to the beginning of the name, so the field "Start Date" would be shown like this: {mxtvalue=attribs_closing date of application}

Make sure that the case is the same as you entered it in the configuration.

3. if i can create the extra closing date field i need from any advice u give me for my question above, is there a quickie guide anywhere on this site to 'how i can add the it into my jxlist mod? e.g. i would like title of job, but then 'closing date' right next to it ?

This is however trickier, because of how the information is saved. You would have to read the "attribs" field from the database and either use a Jobline function to parse it, or read it yourself. Unfortunately, I can't give you specific code on how to do it.
