When is inversion natural?

A is a native speaker, and this is part of a conversation that actually took
place. A then corrected the last bit and told me この仕事が好きだから would sound more
natural. I have been using inversions like this quite a bit when I intend to
stress the fact that I _like_ or some other verb, but I have never been
corrected. Hence my question: when is an inversion like this natural?

Some things to note: 1. 仕事 is actually a placeholder here. In the actual
conversation, we were talking about something more private. 2. The thing I
said I liked was more than one. More like a list of several things, so it felt
heavy enough to me to be moved to the end, foregrounding 好きだから. 3. The thing
we talked about was not something that many people claim to like, so I
intended to convey my preference more emphatically, but it apparently didn't
get across.

「好きだから、この仕事が。」 sounds good to me. I think it's quite natural to say it like
that in daily conversation. I don't think it should be corrected here.

By the way, なんで仕事がそんなにお上手 **なん** ですか？ would sound more natural.
