Difference between Job, Work, and Career JOB (noun) A job is a regular and official activity that you do, and receive money (a salary) for your activity. It is also called a profession or an occupation. You can have a full-time job (40 hours per week) or a part-time job (around 25 hours per week). The word job is a countable noun: Ex. Terry has had seven jobs in the past five years. WORK (noun AND verb) The word work is more general than “job” – whereas “job” is a specific occupation/profession, “work” refers to general efforts and activities done to accomplish a goal. “Work” can be done both inside an official job and outside a job! You can say you work at / for (a company): You can say you’re working on (a project / task): You can say you work with (people / objects) “Work” is an uncountable noun, so it cannot be plural: I have three works to do this week. ( Incorrect ) But you can say :- I have three projects to do this week. I have three things / tasks to do this week. CAREER (noun) Your career is the total progression of your professional life. It can include many different jobs over the years. You can have a career in (a field) – for example, a career in politics / journalism / teaching / finance My Career is teaching. A career in finance is my goal. All the best from me , Good Day Mr . Karim
