Create a free-form note attached to a job. The note is anchored to the job referenced by `job_id` and authored on behalf of `user_id`; the resulting note is visible according to its `visibility` (`admin_only_visible` or `privately_visible`).

Successful

- object
  - `id` integer
  - `created_at` string, date-time
  - `updated_at` string, date-time
  - `job_id` integer: Id of the job this note is attached to. Job notes are always anchored to a single job and are not shared across jobs.
  - `user_id` integer: Id of the Greenhouse user who authored the note.
  - `body` string, nullable: Free-text body of the note. Newline characters are stored verbatim and rendered as line breaks in the Greenhouse UI.
  - `visibility` 'admin_only_visible' | 'privately_visible' | 'null', nullable: Who can see this note. `admin_only_visible` is restricted to users with Job Admin or higher access on the job; `privately_visible` is further restricted to users with the "view and create private job notes" permission on the job.

## Other responses
