A Japanese Phrase for Asking About Someone's Job: "お仕事は何ですか？ (Oshigoto wa nan desu ka?)"

"お仕事は何ですか？" means "What is your job?" and it's the basic Japanese expression used to ask about someone's occupation. It's often used in self-introductions and when meeting someone for the first time. To answer, you use the form "〜です" (I am a ~), as in "先生です" (I'm a teacher). You can keep the conversation going by reacting to their answer with something like "それはやりがいがありそうですね" (That sounds rewarding).
