Can I have a job when I switch my co-op visa to a working holiday visa?

Hello everyone. Currently I am working at a company with my co-op visa. My co-op visa will be expired on Friday, September 8th, so I am going to the U.S. border to do flagpoling before it expires. However, as I searched about conditions for getting a working holiday visa, it seems like I need to quit my job to pass the examinations at the border. But I have just finished my probation period and got hired officially, so I don’t want to quit my job to be honest. Some of my friends who has done flagporling before said they were not asked anything about their work and school. But I’m afraid that what if the examiner asked me about it, and I don’t know what I should answer. It would be much appropriated if you could give me some pieces of advice.

I assume you already have an approved WHV and are just flagpoling to activate it.

I'm personally not aware of any rules that say you need to quit your job.
