no job
Currently seeking work
No job describes the state of being unemployed or without work.
It appears in casual conversation about someone's employment status: He's got no job and no prospects.
The phrase can carry judgment about idleness or sympathy about circumstances, depending on context: She's been looking for months but still has no job.
