OK - so you've probably want something like this :

_Client List Page_
Lists all clients by name.
Link for each client to view their jobs - clientID passed to Client Job 
Page.

_Client Job Page_
List of job details that the client has done in the past.
Link to "Add Job Form" - clientID passed to Add Job Form.

_Client Job Form_
Form for Job details including clientid in the form as a hidden field.
Submit Form to Job Update Page

_Job Update Page_
Insert Job Details into the database. (cfquery)
Redirect back to Client Job Page. (cflocation)

I may be teaching my grandma to suck eggs her, but just in case....
Any query string variables ie. variables on the URL will be found in the 
URL scope eg. URL.ClientID.
Any variables, hidden or otherwise, in form will be found in the FORM 
scope eg. FORM.ClientID, FORM.JobTitle etc.

When you insert data into a database - start as you're going to have to 
carry on - use CFQUERY and proper SQL statements, rather than CFINSERT 
and CFUPDATE.  Also make sure you use <cfqueryparam> on the values you 
are inserting into the database.

like so..
<cfquery name="insert_job" datasource="yourdsnname">
INSERT INTO Jobs (ClientID,JobTitle,.....)
VALUES (<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" 
value="#form.clientid#">,<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" 
value="#form.jobtitle#">,.....)
</cfquery>

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Regards

Stephen
