casperjs evaluate not executing

I'm new to casperjs,the evaluate function is not getting executed

casper.start('https://piedmont.taleo.net/careersection/2/moresearch.ftl?lang=en',function(){

    casper.page.injectJs('/Users/manoj/apply_robots/jquery/jquery-2.1.4.min.js');
    this.echo(this.getTitle());

    this.wait(3000,processPage);
    this.echo("before processPage");

    });

    function processPage()
    {

        this.echo("inside processPage");
        var c = [];

        c = this.evaluate(getJ);
        this.echo(c);


    }

    function getJ(){
        this.echo("inside getJ");
        var jobs = [];
            var names = $('table#requisitionListInterface\\.listRequisition tr[id$=row]');
            __utils__.echo(names);

            for (var i = 0, row; row = names[i]; i++) {
                var $p = $.parseHTML(row.cells[1].innerHTML);
            }

            jobs.push(names);
            return names.length;


    }

Probably 

this.echo("inside getJ");

is the problem in your case, cause "this" in evaluate function is not the casper object, but probably the Window object. And since evaluate is executed in sandbox, it does not throw errors out.

Good luck
