In many readings, and especially ones for entertainment, clients (read: wise-asses) will often ask if you can "guess" what they do for a living. "Okay Mister Mind Reader, if you're such a psychic, what's my job?"How would you answer, not knowing this person AND with hundreds of thousands of job descriptions out there?
The best answer you can give is that the person "fixes or repairs something". This line is great in that the vast majority of jobs do actually "fix or repair something." "I'm getting the impression that you are involved with fixing or repairing..."
Think about it. Aside from the obvious jobs like mechanic or dentist. How about a sales person? He or she repairs a company's bottom line. Teachers? They fix a student's' ablility to learn. Taxi drivers? Apart from doing minor repairs to their cabs, they have routes "fixed" in their minds. A receptionist? Maybe he or she doesn't repair or fix anything per se, but there's a good chance their company might.
I'd say almost any job or career can be reframed as one that fixes problems or repairs something.
To get some practice with this, go over your job. . .and the jobs of family members, friends, and neighbours. How do their jobs fix or repair something?
(I got this idea from cold reader Herb Dewey, although he preferred to use the word "rehabilitate.")
