Correct question for this context?

Hi. Please help. Let's say a person names John Doe is unemployed and has been looking for any type of employment for some time. And a week-long carnival comes to town, and he decides to work there for the carnival, even though it is just for one week. Could this be as a question for him, with the answer being the carnival? Thank you for your help in advance.

Q: What does he work for?
