JOBS
When you apply for a job, you usually fill in an application form or send your CV with a covering letter. Then you have an interview. If it goes well and the employer is satisfied with your references, you will get the job. You sign the contract and become an employee. A job can be well-paid/highly-paid or badly-paid/low-paid. A job can be full-time or part-time, permanent or temporary. If your working conditions are good and you have the chance to be promoted, then you will probably get a lot of job satisfaction.
LEAVING A JOB
If you want to leave your job, you resign or hand in your resignation. If a company no longer needs an employee, it will make him/her redundant. If an employee's work is not good enough, the company may dismiss him/her. In less formal English we use the verbs fire or sack, or the noun the sack:
 Her boss fired/sacked her.
 Her boss gave her the sack.
 She got the sack.
