Is this what you are trying to achieve?

    set jobName to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Name:" default answer "Job_Name")
set loc to choose folder with prompt "Choose Parent Folder Location"

tell application "Finder"
    set source to alias ((path to desktop as text) & "WorkingFolder:")
    set newfo to make new folder at loc with properties {name:jobName}
    make new folder at newfo with properties {name:"Emails"}
    set destination to make new folder at (path to home folder) with properties {name:jobName}
    tell application "Finder" to duplicate source to destination with replacing
end tell
