Definition
职 is a bound form (不成词语素) — it never appears alone; it must combine with another character to form a word like 职业 (zhíyè, occupation), 职位 (zhíwèi, position/post), 辞职 (cízhí, resign), or 职权 (zhíquán, authority). Its core meaning relates to duty, job, or official position. You will not use 职 by itself in spoken Chinese.
