Notes
Unlike general verbs like 工作 (to work), 从业 emphasizes the professional or industry-specific aspect of employment. It is less common in casual speech and more typical in written or formal language. Avoid confusing 从业 with 从事, which also means to engage in work but is more versatile and common in everyday conversation.
