The Books of Genesis tells different stories and are of that reason different. However they do both contain creation material.
Genesis contains two complete creation stories, at Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-2:20. Some scholars think of Genesis chapter 5 as possibly a third creation story.
Job contains fragments of a much more primitive creation story, especially in chapter 38ff, where God querulously asked Job where he was when God created the world and if he is so righteous that he could do any of the things that God had done. Here we see suggestions of how at the time of creation God had to fight the chaos monsters, for example the behemoth and the leviathan. Chaos monsters were once closely associated with many creation stories of the Near East.
Jewish answer:
The books of Genesis and Job are two different things. Genesis recounts the events of the Creation, the Flood, and the lives of the righteous, from Abraham through Joseph.
Job is a poetic prophecy concerning the question of the suffering of the righteous.
