Biografie
William John Job was born in England in 1944, son of Nina M. Hampton (Silcock) and Thomas Warren Job. John Job was a member of the Job family, which was prominent in Newfoundland business and politics since the early nineteenth century. He was called William after his paternal grandfather and John after three forebears of that name.
Initially focused on the fish trade, the Jobs diversified into shipbuilding, timber, manufacturing and processing; their companies were affiliated with many other Newfoundland companies.
