📌

Professions with invariable forms — el/la piloto and el/la psiquiatra don't change: La piloto aterrizó el avión (The female pilot landed the plane). el/la periodista also stays the same. Others change regularly: el enfermero / la enfermera, el escritor / la escritora, el veterinario / la veterinaria.

🔧

Job sector vocabulary — el albañil (construction worker/bricklayer) — the feminine la albañil is accepted but el albañil remains dominant. El conductor (driver) vs. el/la periodista (journalist). El contador / la contadora (accountant) — regional note: in Spain it's el/la contable.

💬

Professional conversations — Es un excelente veterinario (He's an excellent vet). Trabaja como estilista en un salón (She works as a stylist in a salon). El psiquiatra me recetó medicación (The psychiatrist prescribed medication). La periodista publicó un artículo muy importante (The journalist published a very important article).
