People often use the three terms interchangeably, and there can be some overlap between their definitions. It's hard to define what an occupation is without also defining the terms job and career.
What is the difference between occupation, a job and a career? Stating your occupation in a job interview tells employers about your experience and skills, and helps them assess your suitability for a position with their company. For instance, someone's job title could be a senior events manager, but they'd refer to their occupation as an events manager. An occupation can define your role at work, but may not be as specific as a job title.
Occupation is an umbrella term that refers to the industry you're a part of or your role and you can understand this term better by looking at occupation examples. View more jobs on Indeed View more What are occupation examples?
