job
Usage Note
Lavoro is both the activity of working and a specific job or position. It is also the first-person singular present of lavorare ('I work'), so context matters. The expression cercare lavoro means 'to look for a job', and lavoro part-time is widely used as a borrowing.
Examples
"Ho trovato un nuovo lavoro."
Natural Translation
I found a new job.
