How to say 'I got a full time job' in Japanese?
I have a Japanese lesson tomorrow and I want to be able to tell me teacher that last week, I got a full time job in a cafe and wine bar.

I had: 先週喫茶店とワインバーでフルタイムの仕事がありました。that's just from the limited grammar I know, but doesn't that sound more like "there was a full time job at a cafe and wine bar" and not what I'm intending. Is there a more natural way to say this, that is still polite?

Any help would be appreciated :)

Answer

Now, we do not use the word "喫茶店" in Japan.
We use the word "カフェ"
Wine bar also entered the cafe category.
Please switch the head.
Perhaps, it is a wine bar&cafe.
It's not two jobs.

Answer

I would like to answer your question.

If you have full-time jobs (not part-time jobs), your Japanese is correct.
But I have a question. Is that possible to have two full time jobs at the same time in your country?
I think that it’s impossible in Japan.

If you have two part-time jobs, it’s good for you to say that “先週，喫茶店とワインバーでアルバイトをしました”.

I hope I can help you with your Japanese studies.

Answer

"先週喫茶店とワインバーでフルタイムの仕事がありました。" seems incorrectly.
→"先週、喫茶店(or"カフェ")とワインバーでアルバイトをしました。" is a correct sentence.

in Japanese,there are difference between "Full time job" and "Part time job" as below.
"Full time job" means a regular employment(It's called "せいしゃいん" in Japanese.
"Part time job" means a part time job(It's called "アルバイト" in Japanese.

Therefore,you shoud use the word"アルバイト",if you aren't a full-time employee.

Thank you.

Answer

Yeah I'm right there with you. One thing I would ask is are you trying to say "I have a full time job" 「私はフルタイム仕事がありますの」or "I received a new full time job" 「私は新しいフルタイム仕事がもらいますわ！」
「先週は新しいフルタイム仕事が喫茶店とワインバーでもらいますわ！やった！(*^^*)」
I don't know any grammar more advanced than this, sorry:/ でも、がんばってね！
