Loading a job by id isn't working for me

Hi when I pause 2 jobs I've found that fg on it's own works as it should but using fg with a job number isn't working.

[1]  - suspended  vim some.rb
[2]  + suspended  vim test.rb
āžœ  ~  fg 1
fg: job not found: 1

^ here's an example

Is there another way of continuing jobs by id?

You need to add '%' before your job number, ie. fg %1
