Status Note: We preserve this text to document our original approach to extensibility. We do not currently advocate the use of '/'-based extended names, although it should be harmless to use these.

I think your new schema specification needs to be hosted somewhere. The errors probably show because http://schema.org/Event/Job doesn't exist.

You could try augmenting the schema.org Event with properties from another vocabulary as explained here.
