What form of un/une do you use for nous and vous?

What form of un/une do you use for nous and vous?

Do you use un or une when using nous and vous? I'm studying professions in sentences, and 2 of the sentences went as follows:

"Nous sommes ____ ____________" (The profession was a journalist)

"Vous etes ____ _____________" (The profession was a cook)

I'm confused on this and can't seem to find any articles online about it :(

Bonjour Hailey,

When talking about someone's profession, you don't use "un/une".

See link here: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/dont-use-indefinite-articles-with-professions

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
