You are calling the SOAP endpoint where you should be calling the REST endpoint (or use a SOAP request on the SOAP endpoint).

I think you are using this example: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_asynch.meta/api_asynch/asynch_api_code_curl_walkthrough.htm. If that's the case you are using the wrong request URL. Try /services/async/42.0/job instead of /services/Soap/u/42.0.
