Note: " Work” is usually an uncountable noun, so you cannot say ”a work”. If you want to use the indefinite article you must say " a job”, e. g. She hasn't got a job at the moment. B. What does that involve? What do you do in your job? ) When people ask you to explain your work/job, they may want to know your main responsibilities (= your duties / what you have to do), or something about your daily routine (= what you do every day/week). They can ask like this: What does that (i. e. your job) involve? Main responsibilities: I’m in charge of (= responsible for) all deliveries out of the factory. I have to deal with any complaints (= take all necessary action if there are complaints). I run the coffee bar and restaurant in the museum (= I am in control of it/I manage it). Note: We often use responsible for / in charge of for part of something, e. g. a department or some of the workers; and run for control of all of something, e. g. a company or a shop. Daily duties/routines I have to go to / attend (fml) a lot of meetings. I visit / see / meet clients (= people I do business with or for). I advise clients (= give them help and my opinion). It involves doing quite a lot of paperwork (a general word we use for routine work that involves paper e. g. writing letters, filling in forms, etc. ). Note the -ing form after involve.
