Unable to get custom post type name with get_post_type()

Code to load single page template for jobs post type

        //check post type to job portal single page
        $type=get_post_types(); 
        if(get_query_var( 'post_type' ) !== 'jobs'){

            return ;

        }
        elseif(is_single('jobs')){
        //check if file exit of single job page template
            if(file_exists(file_exists( get_stylesheet_directory(). '/single-jobs.php' ))){

                return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/single-jobs.php';

            }
            else{

                return plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'templates/single-jobs.php';
            }

        }
        else{
            echo "<h1>jobs page loaded</h1>";
            return plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'templates/single-jobs.php';

        }
        return $original_template;
    }
     add_action('template_include','wwp_job_portal_single_page');

        ),
        )
    );
    $taxonomy_args = array( 
      'labels'                    => array( 'name' => 'Job Category' ),

The function get_post_type() can be use outside the loop but then require the optional argument ($post_id) to be set.

In your code, you'll need to set the post ID as argument.

function wwp_job_portal_single_page($original_template){
    global $post;
    //check post type to job portal single page
    $type=get_post_types($post->ID); 
  .....

Then your function will be able to find the related post ID you are looking for.

Can you please try the same function with the post ID, just like : 

get_post_type( get_the_ID() )

Hope that will do
