‘叙职’ is a formal verb meaning ‘to report on one’s duties’—typically used when someone presents a summary of their work performance, responsibilities, or achievements, often in an official or organizational setting. The character 叙 (xù) means ‘to narrate’ or ‘to recount’, while 职 (zhí) means ‘duty’, ‘post’, or ‘position’. Together, they convey the act of systematically recounting one’s professional role and accomplishments.

This term is commonly used in government, state-owned enterprises, or academic institutions—especially during evaluations, promotions, or annual reviews. It implies structure, accountability, and formality; it is not used in casual conversation or personal contexts. Unlike general terms like ‘reporting to work’ (上班), 叙职 emphasizes reflective, evaluative narration rather than routine attendance or task execution.
