Random Job Generator
Get random jobs and occupations — health, trades, office, creative, nature or service — for games, stories and career ideas.
About this tool
Draw random occupations from 72 common jobs in six fields: health and care, building and trades, office and tech, creative and media, nature and animals, and service and education. Pick a field or mix them all and get up to 12 jobs without repeats. Use it for party games and charades, character ideas for stories, role-play in class, or simply to discover careers you had not thought about.
Frequently asked questions
72 common occupations, 12 in each of six fields: health and care (such as nurse and midwife), building and trades (carpenter, electrician), office and tech (software developer, accountant), creative and media (photographer, actor), nature and animals (farmer, veterinarian) and service and education (teacher, chef).
Give a character in a story a job, play “guess my job” with yes/no questions, act out jobs in charades, assign roles in a classroom role-play, or start a conversation about careers — for example by asking what a day in that job looks like.
It can spark ideas, but it picks at random and knows nothing about you. If a job catches your interest, look up the education it needs, what the work involves day to day and the job market where you live, and talk to someone who works in the field.
Not within one draw — each click picks up to 12 different jobs. A new click starts a fresh draw, so jobs from the previous list can appear again. Choose a single field to narrow the list to 12 jobs.
