What should I put for "occupation or job title"

What should I put for "occupation or job title", I was an unemployed all of 2020, student for part of 2020, and now I just started a new job in 2021.

It's not important what you put for occupation. It doesn't affect your taxes. Since you were unemployed for the whole year, I would put "unemployed." Your new job in 2021 has nothing to do with your 2020 taxes.
