Easy Level Up Method
You can do this at any point in the game, but I found it most useful in the beginning before going to Dorter Trade City for the first time. All characters should have the support ability JP Boost. Having a Knight makes it easier and able to last longer as well as having somone with the Monk abilities Chakra and Revive. The easiest battleground seems to be Mandalia Plain, but anyplace you like will suffice. Get into battle and kill all but one enemy. Surround the last enemy and proceed to use the Knight to Rend Power and Speed, effectively making the enemy weak.

You can also rend the power of your own characters to make it last longer (no surprise critical hits to end the battle early). Attack the enemy and your own characters to gain JP and EXP. Use Chakra and Revive where needed to keep it going. Usually a half hour to an hour of this will all but master a given job. If you want to raise an Arithmetician use the same method, but have Ramza and Luso in your party to use Tailwind on the slow mage. That way he will actually get a turn every round instead of once in a blue moon.


Kill Undead in One Hit
To kill any normal undead enemy just use a Phoenix Down on them. Chemists who can throw them make undead battles easy, if not somewhat costly.
