Ctrl-Z stops the job
you can then

1)
type "jobs" to see jobs on this terminal
type "fg 1" to resume job 1 (from jobs) in the background
type "bg 3" to resume job 3 in the background (useful for GUI programs)
type "kill %1" to kill the task

You can also launch a program in the background by typing & after the command 
-"find &"
