Tips to Remember:
• Think of 직장 (jikjang) as "workplace" broken into two parts: 직 (jik) sounds like "direct" (as in direct work) and 장 (jang) sounds like "place." Picture your direct, usual place of work.
• Associate 직장 with the idea of a "steady job" where you spend most of your day.

Explanations:
• 직장 (jikjang) refers to one’s place of work or employment. Unlike 사무실 (samusil), which means “office room,” 직장 emphasizes the broader concept of one’s workplace or employer.

• 일터 (ilteo) – another term for “workplace” or “job site.”

Alternate Meanings (Including Slang):
