Hi Sonia, I also struggled also over the "which/who" dilemma - I still think my re-write is not perfect, but I decided that a "job" cannot be a "who". It still sounds uncomfortable to describe a "person" as a "which", even though it sounds much neater (but not totally correct) to say, "who chooses whom?" or "which chooses which?"
This is probably the topic of another question. ;)

Such an answer Jura! But it is not that easy.
Though, I think this guy's question should be something like this: The Job or the person? Who choose to whom? (I hope it is gramatically correct, I just tried to help).
I think the person makes the choice. In my case it is not a job, it is my vocation.
If I couldn't do what I love, I'd probably find a job as a clothes seller, which I'd enjoy too because I like clothes.
Or I'd be a secretary, an au pair, a housekeeper (part time and bed outside xD).
If you don't have the chance to do what you love probably the job might choose to you.

I think the question may be, "A job and a person: which one chooses the other?"
So do you choose your job, or does your job choose you? While job-hunting is the common thing to do, at times you may be 'head-hunted' and your new employer may come and find you.
As an alternative, if we say "the job chooses you", it means that if you are already suited/qualified for a job but don't have it yet, the opportunity for that job may come to you. *fingers crossed*
How very zen.

Hi, it would sound better if you wrote: A job or a person? Which one would you choose?
If I loved the person, I would choose him as you can always find another job but it's harder to find another person to love and who loves you.

Both choose each other
