USAGE:

(1.) Русские существительные работа, должность передаются английскими существительными position, post, place и job. В разговорной речи наиболее употребительное нейтральное слово для выражения значения работа - job. Post и position используются в отношении служащих, чиновников. Существительное position предполагает единственность вакансии, в отличие от существительного place, подразумевающего наличие нескольких вакансий на одну работу: he got a place at this firm when he was quite young он получил место/работу в этой фирме еще совсем молодым человеком. (2.) See post, n
