Help me with proper forms
make/do a good job in/of - i ve come across several variants.. Can u just tell me which are correct and which are not? thx

They are all possible I guess, but "made a good job in" is the least natural to me. The variants aren't always interchangeable; the choice may depend on the rest of the sentence. " However, "He made a good job in that repair", for example, does not seem natural to me.
