wordpress - get all terms associated with a taxonomy slug

Question

I have a jobs page which is a standard page. I also have a custom post type setup as jobs. There is also a taxonomy for jobs called Job Categories which I have added a test one call test-category.

What I want to do is on the jobs page, get all categories that are associated with any jobs post type (list as a header) and then under list the titles of those posts.

What I am struggling to achieve is to get all job categories associated with with the post type jobs.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

regards

Check out this part of the WordPress Codex's page on the wp_list_categories() function:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Display_Terms_in_a_custom_taxonomy

You should be able to list everything in the Job Categories taxonomy by using something like this:

<?php

$args = array(
  'taxonomy'     => 'job_categories',
  'orderby'      => 'name',
  'hierarchical' => 1
);

wp_list_categories($args);

?>
