A typical syntax for creating a Sqoop job execution can be defined as:

sqoop job (generic-args) (job-args)
   [-- [subtool-name] (subtool-args)]

bin/sqoop job --create <JOB_NAME> -- <OPERATION_NAME> --connect jdbc:postgresql://<DB_SERVER>/sourcedb?schema=public --table <TABLE_NAME> --m 1 --username <DB_USER> --password <DB_PASSWORD> --as-avrodatafile 

Where, 
   <JOB_NAME> → Name of the job to be created 
   <OPERATION_NAME> → Name of the sqoop operation to be defined, e.g. import   
   <DB_SERVER> → DB Server address or IP 
   <TABLE_NAME> → Name of the table to be imported 
   <DB_USER> → Username of the DB containing data to be imported 
   <DB_PASSWORD> → Password of the DB containing data to be imported
