Certain professions or areas of interest have been found to correlate with certain personality traits. An example are the "dark triad" of traits often found in the upper management. I cannot list all the known correlations in this answer, but you may have observed yourself how people choose professions that fit their character and then in turn people working in a certain profession have certain character traits in common.

So if you want to derive a personality from a profession, you must first know what that profession is, what it takes to be good in it, which interests someone must have to enjoy it, and so on, and that will be your answer. There is no way to deduce a professional's character from the name of the profession alone.

But even if you know all the above about your job, you may still want to have your character differ from the typical person working that job. A good protagonist might be someone who doesn't perfectly fit their job. The disillusioned detective (Philip Marlowe) or the unhappy scullery maid (Cinderella) are typical examples of protagonists that are interesting because they don't fit their job.

The question for you is, which combination of fit or misfit will give you an idea for a story. And that is something you'll have to play with. Vary job and person and see where an idea springs forth.
