## Job / Queue Creation with Custom Serializer ### Retrieving a Job from Redis
When creating a job or queue, you can pass in a custom serializer that will be used for serializing / de-serializing job arguments.
Serializers used should have at least `loads` and `dumps` method.
The default serializer used is `pickle`
```python
import json
from rq import Queue
from rq.job import Job
job = Job(connection=connection, serializer=json)
queue = Queue(connection=connection, serializer=json)

## Stopping a Currently Executing Job
_New in version 1.7.0._
You can use `send_stop_job_command()` to tell a worker to immediately stop a currently executing job. A job that's stopped will be sent to [FailedJobRegistry](https://python-rq.org/docs/results/#dealing-with-exceptions).
```python
from redis import Redis
from rq.command import send_stop_job_command
redis = Redis()

## Requeueing Failed Jobs
### Requeueing Failed Jobs
If you need to manually requeue failed jobs, here's how to do it:
```python
from redis import Redis
from rq import Queue
connection = Redis()
queue = Queue(connection=connection)
registry = queue.failed_job_registry
# This is how to get jobs from FailedJobRegistry
for job_id in registry.get_job_ids():
registry.requeue(job_id) # Puts job back in its original queue
assert len(registry) == 0 # Registry will be empty when job is requeued
```
Starting from version 1.5.0, RQ also allows you to [automatically retry
failed jobs](https://python-rq.org/docs/exceptions/#retrying-failed-jobs).
