        $this->load->library('pagination');;
        $config['base_url'] =site_url('/admin/view_job_posts/');
        $config['total_rows'] = count($mydata["mydata"]);
        $config['per_page'] = 1;
        $config['num_links'] = 2;
        $config['uri_segment'] = 2;         
        $this->pagination->initialize($config);

        $mydata['links'] = $this->pagination->create_links();

        $this->load->view('pages/admin_view_jobs', $mydata);

That's because you are loading it all, CodeIgniter doesn't implement any AI algorithm :p check your first line of code :

$mydata = array('mydata' => $this->Admin_model->view_job_posts());

Think about adding 2 extra parameters to your model ($number_of_rows, $offset), that way, you load exactly what you need on the specific page.
