Work and job as nouns and verbs
Work is both a verb and a noun (uncountable); job is mostly used as a noun (countable):
I’m busy – I have a lot of work. (uncountable noun)
I have a lot of works.
I have two jobs – I’m a taxi driver, but I also work as a part-time fireman. (countable noun)

We say go to work, start work, finish work:
I start work at 8 o’clock every morning.

I go to work by bus.

There is a substantive difference in meaning between the two words. please see this illustration:
I have a job at XYZ Company. I don't have to do any work there; I just need to look pretty every day.
