Hi,

I think either is fine (with a period at the end, of course).

I would say "I'm not working". To me "I don't work" is like saying you have never worked and have no intention of ever working. Maybe you're independently wealthy.

It's like the maid who declares, "I don't do windows".

Hi Behnam,

Adding to what just others said I can tell you this euphemism :

" I'm between jobs".

Cheers,

Iman
