I googled the phrases "job of a salesman" and "job of salesman" and found both. I wonder which is correct or what is the difference between them if both are correct. Thanks for your help.

"Job of a salesman" would be uses in a normal descriptive sentence.  "Job of salesman" would be useful as a label or in a list.

"Do you think you could live the life of a salesman?"

"What would it be like to do the job of a salesman?"

"Do you have any job openings this week?"  (reply)  "Well, we have the job of 'salesman,'  the job of 'warehouseman,' and the job of 'secretary.' "
