const q = new Queue()
let job = q.createJob()

q.addJob(job).then(() => {
  return q.getJob(job.id)
}).then((savedJobs) => {

Description

During the life cycle of a job the Job.dateStarted property may get updated several times. See the Job Retry document for an explanation of the job activation and failure process. Each time job processing is initiated the Job.dateStarted value gets updated.

Within the Queue object, Job.dateStarted is used to calculate job processing duration for logging.
