Answer 1

I assume jobCategory is a Literal/Label? Simple ask directly for the label.

String queryString =
"Select ?a ?b"+
" Where { <uri> <uri>\""  + jobCategory +"\"}";

I case it is a URI the query would look like.

String queryString =
"Select ?a ?b"+
" Where { <uri> <uri> <" + jobCategory+ ">}";

Answer 2

I have a solution for this issue. I used regex to obtain the result

"filter(regex(?a, \"" + jobCategory + "\"))"
