Do you freeze when someone asks, “What do you do?” 😅

Explaining your job in English can feel difficult — especially if your job title is long, technical, or hard to translate.

In today’s episode of Emily Teaching English, we show you exactly how to talk about your job naturally and confidently in English.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to answer “What do you do?”
✅ When to say “I am a…” vs “I work in…”
✅ How to explain your daily responsibilities
✅ Professional action verbs (handle, manage, lead, collaborate)
✅ How to talk about remote, hybrid, and on-site work
✅ How to describe your team and colleagues
✅ Natural phrases for meetings and brainstorming
✅ Common English mistakes to avoid

Instead of saying:
❌ “I have a work.”
❌ “I stay in meetings.”
❌ “I make the code.”

You’ll learn to say:
✅ “I have a job.”
✅ “I’m in meetings all day.”
✅ “I write code.”

We also teach powerful professional phrases like:

• “I am responsible for…”
• “I handle…”
• “I manage a team of…”
• “I work closely with…”
• “I attend meetings.”
• “My job is pretty demanding.”

These expressions will instantly upgrade your workplace English and help you sound more fluent in business conversations.

💼 Professionals working in English
🌍 International job interviews
📞 Networking conversations
🎓 Intermediate English learners
