Pefect tense

Hi there.

I came across a sentence "she's worked as a tacher for a long time". I wonder if it wouldn't be better to rephrase it into "she's been working as a tacher for a long time".

What do you think? Thanks...

Hello Mav Both are fine: the second might be used in contexts where you wanted to put more emphasis on the process of working as a teacher. MrP
