Phrase Meaning – Does ‘Job Nature’ Mean ‘Job Circumstances and Surroundings’?

phrase-meaningphrase-request

I don't know if there is such a phrase exists, but I translated it literally from my native language to English. So, I would like to know if it is correct and means "job circumstances and surroundings".

The sentence I want to use that phrase in:

She has to be in an appearance that is consistent with her job nature,
so she can do it perfectly as you claimed.

I searched for it on the web but found nothing except the phrase "job description" which is a document that describes the general tasks, or other related duties.


PS: X is saying that sentence to Y about Z who works as a chef. What X means by the sentence (not my personal opinion) is that Z can't wear a full face of makeup and let her long hair down, when she is working in the kitchen because of the nature of her job.

A "job description" is a quite formal part of a contract or job advertisement that gives details of what exactly is required.

It is hard to understand the example sentence. I don't understand "She has to be in an appearance", and the phrase "job nature" is not idiomatic. You can say "She has to *present an appearance..."

Insted of "job nature" you can use "the nature of her job". In this context "nature" means roughly "type", and could include the tasks, the environment and the circumstances of the job.

What is the nature of your job?
It's an office job. I work with a small team of colleagues. We work on computers, contacting foreign clients.
