I've defined a Glue job that accepts parameters but couldn't find an example of how to access these parameters?

You can use read parameters like regular Python sys.argv arguments.

import sys
print "This is the name of the script: ", sys.argv[0]
print "Number of arguments: ", len(sys.argv)
print "The arguments are: " , str(sys.argv)

Alternatively, you can use Glue's getResolvedOptions to read the arguments by name. In this case, you will need to prepend the argument name with '--' e.g. --Arg1 Value1

from awsglue.utils import getResolvedOptions
args = getResolvedOptions(sys.argv, ['TempDir','JOB_NAME', 'Arg1'])
print "The args are: " , str(args)
print "The value is: " , args['Arg1']
