The Book of Job is undoubtedly a parable: who could really know what God said to Satan in heaven, or what angry duscussions he had with Job, when his attempts to test Job failed? As there is no possibiliity the story is genuinely historical, there is no possibility Job was a real person.
The Job briefly mentioned in Genesis 46:13 as a descendant of Jacob might also have been fictional, since we have no historical evidence for his existence. Whatever the case, The Bible makes no attempt to link the two men. We should see them as two different people.
