Does 刚开始工作的时候... mean "when starting work" (each day) or "when entering the workforce"? This is from HSK4上 (page 49):


  
  刚开始工作的时候，什么最重要？
  What is most important when I first started working?  (Google Translate)


I'm confused here: I can't tell whether this means:


"when starting work" (perhaps each workday) or
"when entering the workforce" (as in, first day of work, perhaps in my life, or perhaps at a new company).


My impression from context that it has the second meaning (it's related to a passage which begins 年轻人刚开始工作的时候，不要太急着赚钱...), but I don't know how I could figure that out.

I'd interpret it as when entering the workforce, which  is the second meaning you listed. 

When someone says 刚开始工作的时候, I'd assume he meant when entering the workforce.  If they try to convey when starting work each workday, I'd expect something like: 每天早上开始工作的时候; 每天开始工作的时候; 每天开始工作时; 每天工作开始时. 

One could bend that rule/convention sometimes, but it's not hard to figure out what they really mean in a given context anyway.
