use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder;

class JobType extends AbstractType
{
  public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
 {
    $builder
        ->add('title')
        ->add('content','textarea' )
        //->add('created_at')
        ->add('salary')
        ->add('city')
        //->add('announcer')
    ;
}

public function getName()
{
    return 'my_jobbundle_jobtype';
}

}

well i found the issue it was caused by that eraseCredential method of the UserInterface in my User entity

<?php 
public function eraseCredential(){    
 $this->password = null ;
}

i just had to empty it as it was doin to my password by commenting that line ; ]
