correct preposition: for/in/on my last job

Post by ansonman »

I have a lot of trouble with prepositions. I have made up the similar sentences below.

(1) In my last job, I was a chemist.
(2) On my last job, I was a chemist.
(3) For my last job, I was a chemist.

All of my friends are non-native English speakers. They all think all of the prepositions work. I am not sure if my friends are correct. Please help me. Thank you.
