preposition confusion

Hi there,

Am I right in thinking that the first sentence is correct, and not the second one? Or, are they both correct? Is one of them preferable?

'For each statement, check the appropriate column to indicate how consistently you use the described behaviour at your job.'

OR

'For each statement, check the appropriate column to indicate how consistently you use the described behaviour in your job.'

Thank you for your help!

To my mind, "at" means where you work, your workplace. "In" means as a part of the duties you are being paid to execute there.
