With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | işim my job | işlerim my jobs |
| your | işing your job | işlering your jobs |
| his / her | işi his / her job | işleri his / her jobs |

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: işleri can mean "his / her jobs", "their job", or "their jobs" — context decides.
