Question

Using a group by to group a select stament
SELECT
k.Ivalue, k.JOBDESCRIPTION ,
count( k.Ivalue) as TOTAL
FROM
(SELECT
a."ID" as Ivalue, b."JOBDESCRIPTION", rq."CURRENTSTATUS"
FROM
tblG2o_Requests a
INNER JOIN
tblG2o_JOBS b ON a."JOBPOSTID" = b."ID"
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
r.REQUESTID, ir."CURRENTSTATUS"
FROM
TBLG2O_RESULTSPOOL r
INNER JOIN
tblG2o_Requests ir ON r.RequestID = ir."ID"
WHERE
r.ShortListed = '1') rq ON rq.REQUESTID = a."ID"
WHERE
"ACTIVE" = '1'
AND "DATECOMPLETED" IS NULL
ORDER BY
"REQUESTDATE" DESC) k
GROUP BY
k.JOBDESCRIPTION

Answer 1

What is the question? You seem to be missing the group by clause, and you do not need double quotes around field names unless you have spaces in them, and even then, if TSQL for example, you would use [] in preference.
I had to remove an ORDER BY in the subquery, that isn't allowed unless other conditions demand it (like TOP n in TSQL)
SELECT
k.Ivalue
, k.JOBDESCRIPTION
, COUNT(k.Ivalue) AS TOTAL
FROM (
SELECT
a.ID AS Ivalue
, b.JOBDESCRIPTION
, rq.CURRENTSTATUS
FROM tblG2o_Requests a
INNER JOIN tblG2o_JOBS b
ON a.JOBPOSTID = b.ID
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
r.REQUESTID
, ir.CURRENTSTATUS
FROM TBLG2O_RESULTSPOOL r
INNER JOIN tblG2o_Requests ir
ON r.RequestID = ir.ID
WHERE r.ShortListed = '1'
) rqenter
ON rq.REQUESTID = a.ID
WHERE ACTIVE = '1'
AND DATECOMPLETED IS NULL
) k
GROUP BY
k.Ivalue
, k.JOBDESCRIPTION

Answer 2

Finally worked
SELECT
k.Ivalue
, l.JOBDESCRIPTION
, k.TOTAL,
k.CURRENTSTATUS
FROM (
SELECT
a.ID AS Ivalue
,b.ID as JobPostID
, rq."CURRENTSTATUS"
,COUNT(a.ID) AS TOTAL
FROM tblG2o_Requests a
INNER JOIN tblG2o_JOBS b
ON a."JOBPOSTID" = b.ID
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
r."REQUESTID"
, ir."CURRENTSTATUS"
FROM TBLG2O_RESULTSPOOL r
INNER JOIN tblG2o_Requests ir
ON r."REQUESTID" = ir.ID
WHERE r."SHORTLISTED" = 1
) rq
ON rq."REQUESTID" = a.ID
WHERE ACTIVE = '1'
AND DATECOMPLETED IS NULL
GROUP BY
a.ID ,b.ID
, rq."CURRENTSTATUS" ) k
inner join tblG2o_JOBS l on k.JobPostID =l.ID
