  • I hope the work project brings you success.
  • I hope the work opportunity is rewarding for you.

  • I hope the experience is valuable for you.
Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I hope it works for you.' is the correct phrase when referring to something that is expected to function properly. 'I hope it work for you.' is correct when using 'work' as a noun, meaning a task or job.
