The important part is not what you do. So just be honest. The important part is how you feel about your job. She wants to see that you totally own your job, you love it, it's a stable job, and you're perfectly comfortable in your work. That can be true if you're a surgeon, a police officer, a garbage man, an independent writer, a court reporter, etc. At the margins, yes, it can be hard to be proud about working at 7-11, but even that can be spun the right way.
So whatever your job is, if you hate it, just lie and say you love it.
By either giving a false answer, or by avoiding the question, you suggest that you're uncomfortable with your job, which is the wrong answer. So I suspect that it does more harm than good. But I'm not an expert. I'm just a big believer in never feeling embarrassed around women.
