'--jobs' and abbreviations such as '--job' should work the same.  However, they do not:

$ emerge --jobs foo
(works)

$ emerge --job foo
[...]
emerge: error: Invalid --jobs parameter: 'foo'

$ emerge foo --jobs
(works)

$ emerge foo --job
[...]
emerge: error: argument --jobs/-j: expected one argument
