What's an English phrase you wish you'd known earlier?
That's a situation that I graduated from my University and became a business person. I have no idea to express the situation.
自然な表現
In a situation where I graduated from university and became a businessperson, I have no idea how to express this.
I think "enter the business world" is a natural way to describe that situation. Did you start working immediately? What was your first job?
Yes, l started working immediately after I graduated from my university. My first job was a bank clerk, and even now l'm a bank clerk.

Yes, l started working immediately after I graduated from university. My first job was as a bank clerk, and even now l'm one.

2. The preposition "as" has been added before "a bank clerk" to indicate the capacity in which you worked grammatically correctly.
3. The second instance of "a bank clerk" in this sentence has been changed to "one" to avoid unnecessary repetition. This enhances flow.
