1This is OT proofreading, but I will add that “regeneration” does not seem like the right word here.– Tyler James YoungJul 24, 2014 at 13:25

He may not have written this. He may simply have read it somewhere and it called his knowledge of English into question. It's a valid question and it merits an answer.– CocoPopJul 24, 2014 at 13:50

The specific source of concern was identified twice to be the phrase "in the present job." Compare umteen questions about in the park vs at the park or In a job, at a job.– user6951Mar 7, 2015 at 7:04

It isn't incorrect, but it sounds extremely awkward. Normally we use possessive adjectives with "job" :
In my present job, I carry out...
I think it is better to use current instead of present
