Custom posts template page

Question

I want to create a custom template for my job post listing

I have registered a new custom post type, job. Then I have created a template for a single job post, single-job.php, which works fine.

But when I enter URL www.xyz/job all records are displayed using the index.php template which, is the one that my blog uses. How can I create custom template for www.xyz/job records so I can edit it independently without touching blog template, which is index.php?

Answer 1

A specific post type template could be created with archive-{post_type}.php -> archive-job.php.
