job
What employers offer
A job is work – work that you perform for compensation (a full-time job), or work that you do to accomplish some end (small jobs around the house).
Your job can also be a particular responsibility: It’s your job to make sure no one gets in.
Criminal acts are sometimes called jobs, as in a bank job (a robbery).
If you’re on the job, you are observant and active at a time when it matters, or you are simply at work.
