The thing is, jobs each only give access to a VERY limited number of skills compared to what races do (with more advanced jobs being even worse than basic ones in that regard, while advanced races open more and more... Just take a look at all the skills a race queen offer access to).

So it's simpler to say that both jobs and races define what skills you can use, that both giveyou skills and abilites as you level up, and that jobs defines the max amount of points you can put in each category.
