Does this mean "work" can be used as an adjective while "job" cannot?
And, are there any differences between "pleasing" and "pleasant"? |
The word "work" can be a verb and a noun. It is uncountable as a noun.
The word "job" is a noun. It is a countable noun. It can be used as a verb. However, it isn't very common. Let's just call it a noun for our purposes in answering this question.
work permit - Here, "work" is more logical to use as "work permit" means "permission to work". We would not say "permission to job".
work experience - The same thing goes here. We would not say "experience jobbing", but we would say "experience working".
So, "work" is the logical choice here, not "job".
I hope I've explained this well enough.
