Answer 1

You essentially want to add the following to $args:

'cat' => -65

One way to to this is to add the following line after $args = jr_filter_form();:

$args['cat']= -65;

Note the - will exclude that particular category ID from the results.

Reference: WordPress codex - query_posts() (see: "Exclude Categories From Your Home Page")

Additional Notes:

Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with the jr_filter_form(). It seems like you are using http://www.appthemes.com/themes/jobroller/ ... they may already offer a built-in solution to customize the results, but I'm not a member so I can't tell :)

You can hide categories from query on your functions.php file too. Try this:

add_action( 'parse_query', 'wpse_35077_cat_excluder' );
function wpse_35077_cat_excluder( $query ) {

    if( !empty( $query->query_vars['post_type'] ) )
        return;

    if( is_home() ) // Just home page
        set_query_var('category__not_in', array( 65 ) ); // ID of the categories that should not be displayed
}

Change the conditional is_home() to the page you want to hide the category or remove line to hide the category in all pages.
