THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JOB AND WORK

Job= A full or part-time position of paid employment

​

It is a countable noun.

e.g. I had seven jobs in the past 5 years

Work=  refers to general efforts and activities done to accomplish a goal.

• It refers also to the context of your place of employment

​

• We can say work at / for (a company): “I work at General Motors.”

​

• We can say you’re working on (a project / task): “I’m working on a market analysis” or “I’m working on improving customer satisfaction.”

​

• We can say you work with (people / objects): “I work with special needs children” or “I work with hazardous chemicals.”

​

​

Unlike the word job, work is an uncountable noun.

​

We can’t say:

I have three works to do this week.

​

But rather:

I have three projects or tasks to do this week.�
