This class represents the interface for a job.
A job may be carried out as a background job, as a worker thread or as a pool or worker threads, among others. What all these have in common is that they call a user provided callback at regular intervals or countinously (back job actually fakes this behaviour).
This class provides an unified interface for these (and others) workers.
