A job was the task an individual did on a daily basis.

The Eleventh Doctor claimed that he would be brilliant at having a job. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) He had earlier, briefly, held a job at Sanderson & Grainger, a department store in Colchester. Though he claimed he did so to "live in the moment", he was actually investigating Cyber-activity which seemed to be localised around his new workplace. (TV: Closing Time) He also considered his duties as UNIT's scientific advisor to be his job, though Clara Oswald doubted that he could ever hold a job. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

In 2008, Tish Jones got a PR job at Lazarus Laboratories, (TV: The Lazarus Experiment) which was secretly arranged by the Saxon Master whilst disguised the human "Harold Saxon". Later, having been "phoned up" "out of the blue", Tish Jones got a job at 10 Downing Street on "Mr Saxon's" first day as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. (TV: The Sound of Drums)

Prior to her travels with the Doctor, Rose Tyler worked as a shop girl in Henrik's before the Ninth Doctor blew up the building. Before she could find a new job, she joined the Doctor in his travels. (TV: Rose)

Amy Pond held multiple jobs during her time travelling with the Eleventh Doctor. She initially worked a kissogram, (TV: The Eleventh Hour) before changing jobs to become a model, (TV: Closing Time, Asylum of the Daleks) a writer for a travel magazine (TV: The Power of Three) and finally a fiction author. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan, The Bells of Saint John) By contrast, her husband Rory Williams kept his job as a nurse throughout his life. For his part, the Doctor was shocked that both of them had jobs, having assumed that the couple mainly kissed when he was not there. (TV: The Power of Three)

Clara Oswald initially worked as a nanny, (TV: The Bells of Saint John) before she became a teacher at Coal Hill School. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) She later transferred to Ravenscaur School. (TV: Clara Oswald and the School of Death) Not long after the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration, Clara noted to him that their travels were her hobby, not her job. (TV: Into the Dalek)

Yasmin Khan was a police officer when she met the Thirteenth Doctor. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth) Heavily dedicated to her profession, her family considered her to be "married to her job". (TV: Arachnids in the UK)
