How do villagers get jobs in Minecraft?

Villagers get jobs by claiming an available job site block in the village. For example, a villager will become a Farmer if they find a Composter or a Librarian if they find a Lectern. If the job site block is destroyed or removed, the villager will lose their profession until they find a new block to claim.
