"Training is done on the job" ( as part of my job)

"I don't drink in the jod"

 

[bhaisahab]

"Training is done on the job" ( as part of my job)

"I don't drink in the jod"

Yes, "on the job training" is a common expression, but "I don't drink in the job" is not. Do you mean that you don't drink at work?

Yes. That's what I meant. Do we ever say "in the job"?

When do we say "in the job"?

 

[bhaisahab]

When do we say "in the job"?

"The work is hard in the job I do". For example.

 

[ostap77]

"The work is hard in the job I do". For example.

Is there any rule for that? Can I say "the work is hard on the job"?

Most things that mean "while I am at work" will be "on the job."
You can't drink on the job. I got on-the-job training. Etc.
