Answer:
employed
 
Hints:
1. A work like this one is something you could call your boss.
2. A work like this one is something you could call yourself.
 
Equivalents:
1. I'm working (or, I am working).
2. I've got a job. 'I've' is a shortened form of 'I have.' This is known as a contraction.
3. I've found work. (When you begin working with your new employer).
 
Explanation:
If you are a person who is working, you are employed. You have found employment. To find work, you had to be employable, a person that an employer would want to hire (or, employ). 'Employed' generally refers to working for someone else. If you work for yourself, you are considered 'self-employed.' Hint # 1 Answer: Another name for your boss is your 'employer.' Employer is more formal and polite. Boss is slang, and informal. Hint # 2 Answer: Another name for you (if you are working for somebody else, and not only for yourself, is 'employee.' An employee is always a person who works for somebody else. A self-employed person would not be described this way.
