Limitations

• Limited to jobs available on the Workforce Australia platform
• Some filter combinations may return fewer results than expected
• Applying filters such as "requirePhone" or "requireEmail" does not garuntee that max results will be hit.

Error Handling

The actor implements robust error handling for:

• Invalid input parameters with clear error messages
• Missing data fields with fallback values

All errors are logged and won't stop the entire scraping process. The actor will attempt to continue with remaining valid listings.
