Similar words

求きゅう人じん
求人 is a job offer or recruitment advertisement, often from the employer's side. 就職口 is more from the job seeker's perspective, emphasizing the opening itself.
仕し事ごと
仕事 is a general term for work or a job. 就職口 specifically means a job opening or vacancy, not the work itself.

Etymology

Compound of 就職 (shūshoku, 'finding employment') + 口 (kuchi, 'opening' or 'position'). The 口 here carries the sense of a vacancy or available slot, as in 働き口 (hatarakiguchi, 'job opening').
