転職

Pronunciation

Romajitenshoku

転職して、新しい会社で働いています。ten shoku shi te atara shi i gai sha de hatara i te i ma su

I changed jobs and now work at a new company.

将来のために転職を考えています。shō rai no ta me ni ten shoku o kanga e te i ma su

I am considering a job change for my future.

The meaning centers on ending work at one company and starting work at a different one.

それまでの勤め先を辞め、別の会社などに移ること。so re ma de no tsuto me saki o ya me betsu no gai sha na do ni utsu ru ko to

転 (ten, "change") and 職 (shoku, "occupation") are Sino-Japanese word elements that together describe changing one's employment.

The English phrase "change jobs" often sounds more natural in conversation than "make a job change," which helps connect 転職 (tenshoku) with everyday workplace speech.
