My understanding is you select an epub book then click convert books and choose to convert it to mobi by changing the output format. Then once the job stops and is no longer showing activity in the job queue (lower right corner) you are unable to find the mobi book.
When I convert a book from epub to mobi the new mobi book will show up immediately in the formats line of the Book details window, see attached. You can choose what shows in the Book details window by going to Preferences - Look & feel - Book details tab.
Also as previously described, after selecting a book, you can open the path to the folder for those formats (files) by clicking on the Click to open link (see attached) next to Path: in the Book Details window or by simply pressing the letter O while the book is selected (see attached).
If you click on the Jobs Queue (see attached) did the job finish or did it fail? If it failed click Show job details (see attached) and share the details with us.

Calibre is the "REALLY GOOD" utility for converting books from one format to another. I can see why you are frustrated. You are seemingly following easy procedures yet have been unable to find the output file. Once you figure out what is wrong with your system, set-up or assumptions converting books will be very easy.
