office or administrative worker

A person who works in an office and does simple work like writing letters, keeping records, or filing papers.

استعمال کا انداز: a clerk in [an office / a department]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think a clerk is always a person in a store. In many varieties of English, especially British English, a clerk is mainly an office or administrative worker. Also, do not confuse 'clerk' with 'clergy' or 'cleric', which refer to religious workers.
ہم معنی الفاظ
administrative assistant (Often sounds slightly higher-level or more modern; can suggest more responsibility than a basic clerk.)
متضاد الفاظ
manager (A manager supervises and makes decisions, while a clerk usually does routine tasks and follows instructions.)

salesperson in a store

In American English, a person who works in a shop or store, helps customers, and takes their money when they buy something.

استعمال کا انداز: a clerk at [a store / the counter]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'clerk' for store workers in British English, where 'shop assistant' or 'sales assistant' is more common. Also, some learners confuse 'clerk' with 'cashier'; a cashier mainly takes payments, while a clerk may help with many store tasks.
ہم معنی الفاظ
salesperson (A more general term; can be used for people selling products in many places, not only in stores.)
متضاد الفاظ
customer (The customer is the person buying, while the clerk is the person serving and selling.)
