Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Currently, when users submit job listings via the front-end submission form, images such as company logos and media gallery uploads do not have `alt` attributes set automatically. This is an accessibility and SEO concern, as screen readers cannot interpret these images, and search engines may not index them properly.

### Describe the solution you'd like
For company logos and gallery images, allow users to optionally specify alt text during submission.

### Describe alternatives you've considered
Automatically generate `alt` attributes for images uploaded through the job submission form.
