When asking someone about their position or role, it is more common and grammatically correct to say 'What do you do?' or 'What is your job?'. Asking 'What is your position?' is technically correct but less commonly used in casual conversation.
In a formal setting, such as a business or professional setting, 'What is your position?' can be used to inquire about someone's job title or rank within an organization.
Here is an example of how to ask about someone's position in a formal context:
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inquire about your position at XYZ Corporation. Could you please provide me with your job title and responsibilities?
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
In casual conversations or when meeting someone for the first time, it is better to use more common phrases like 'What do you do?' or 'What is your job?' to ask about someone's occupation or profession.
Here is an example of how to ask about someone's occupation in a casual context:
Hi, my name is Emily. Nice to meet you! What do you do for a living?
Did I miss anything? Respond below
