What do you do in your job vs what do you do when you work

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'What do you do in your job?' is asking about the tasks and responsibilities you have in your current position. On the other hand, 'What do you do when you work?' is asking about your actions or behavior while you are working. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to inquire about job duties or work habits.
