What does "hit so close to the mark"
what does "The job is what I do best." mean?
"so close to the mark" means to say something that is correct about a person but that person may be denying it.

'you may act brave and constantly pretend to be a brave person, but you are really a coward" <-- whoever says this to the person has hit the mark or hit so close to the mark
"the job is what I do best" = my job /this job/that job is what i do best
