Correct Answer: for
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
The given sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense. We use the preposition "since" in order to relate the time. "For" is used with the period of time. So, there should be the preposition "for" instead of "since".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I have been doing this job for the last five years."
