If it's a statement, "Ich habe keinen Job" (I don't have a job)
If it's a question, "Habe ich keinen Job" (Don't I have a job?)

The first means "I have no job" or "I don't have a job."
The second would mean "Don't I have a job?" if you added a question mark, but if you added a phrase to the beginning, it would also mean "I have no job" or "I don't have a job":
Vielleicht habe ich keinen Job = Maybe I don't have a job.
Deswegen habe ich keinen Job = Therefore (That's why) I have no job.

Ich habe keinen Job (i don't have a job)
Habe ich keinen Job ? (it is a question: don't i have a job?)
correct: Ich habe keinen Job.

Could be a punctuation glitch.
Because German verbs are inflected for person, you don't always need the pronoun as subject.
The first sentence means "I have no job." and the second isn't quite grammatically correct. If it had a question mark at the end, it would be grammatically correct. I'd leave off the "ich" in the second sentence, and it'd mean the same thing.
As far as correct goes, I'd go with the first.
