var jbtle = jQuery(".jobtitle a").text();

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $(".jobtitle a").each(function(){
		$(this).click(function (){
			$("#thejobtitle").html(jbtle);
		});
	});
});

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $(".jobtitle a").each(function(){
        $(this).click(function (){
            $("#thejobtitle").html($(this).text());
        });
    });
});

How would you apply the html to an input? #the_job value?
