Job Jansen jr. was a temporary employee of Otto Frank's company Opekta. He was the son of Job Jansen sr. and Jetje Bremer. His mother worked as a demonstrator at Opekta, and his father also worked there occasionally. In the summers of 1934 and 1935 he worked at Opekta, in shipping and in the office. Because of the seasonal nature of the work, he was let go after the summer.[1]

In January 1936, he gave Isa Monas flowers for her birthday, for which she wrote him a letter of thanks.[2] In February 1936 he also gave Miep Santrouschitz (Miep Gies) flowers for her birthday. Miep also wrote him a thank-you letter.[3]
