Completed jobs will have their status updated to "completed" by default, or "errored" if an unhandled exception was raised by the `run()` method. To intentionally mark a job as failed, raise the `core.exceptions.JobFailed` exception. (Note that "failed" differs from "errored" in that a failure may be expected under certain conditions, whereas an error is not.)
You can schedule the background job from within your code (e.g. from a model's `save()` method or a view) by calling `MyTestJob.enqueue()`. This method passes through all arguments to `Job.enqueue()`. However, no `name` argument must be passed, as the background job name will be used instead.
