    [HttpPost]
    public JsonResult ContactAdd(ContactViewModel contactViewModel)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var job = new Job { Contact = new Contact() };

            Mapper.Map(contactViewModel, job);
            Mapper.Map(contactViewModel, job.Contact);

            _db.Jobs.Add(job);

            _db.SaveChanges();

            //you do not even need this line of code,200 is the default for ASP.NET MVC as long as no exceptions were thrown
            //Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK;

            return Json(new { jobId = job.JobId });
        }
        else
        {
            Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.BadRequest;
            return Json(new { jobId = -1 });
        }
    }
