Types of job sectors

To understand what occupation means, we must first go back to the beginning and investigate where the phrase originated. The dictionary defines occupation as "any activity that takes up a person's time and attention." In professional contexts, it refers to someone's job or function within an organization.

The term occupation may be defined as an umbrella phrase used to characterize someone's job, industry, or employment where they can demonstrate talents that help that sector. If a person seeks employment in a given profession, they are more likely to pursue a career in that occupation. People may pursue a career if an occupation needs certification and licensure.

In a nutshell, our job is an important part of our position in and contribution to society. Here are some profession examples:

Artist

Analyst of business

Worker in construction

Designer

Entrepreneur

Freelancer

Worker in social services

Different sorts of occupations are often characterized in broad strokes rather than by precise job titles. When we describe our job to someone, we use consultant rather than Senior Consultant.
