You can suspend and resume threads, so if you model your jobs with processes that could be used for that, I guess.

Processes. A quick skim of the documentation linked by the person I answered suggests that processes can be associated with a job object, but threads cannot. But a process cannot really be suspended directly, except by suspending all its threads.
