[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|An episode where a character gets a new job for a week or so]]. Often happens in teen sitcoms and teen dramas, where a character is forced to get a job by their parents to teach them [[An Aesop]] about responsibility or the value of a dollar. At the end of the episode, they're usually allowed to quit so things can [[Snap Back]]. It also might be some career, such as singing or cooking, that the character temporarily decides to pursue before something impedes them or they lose interest. If a character has [[George Jetson Job Security]], they might be forced to go through a [['''New Job Episode]]''' every so often till Mr. Spacely rehires them.
 
If the character is a teen, expect them to work at [[Burger Fool|a crappy fast food joint]], [[Suck E. Cheese's|a kiddie arcade/pizza place for snot-nosed brats and their parents celebrating their birthdays]], or in [[Super Slave Market|retail hell]] (bonus points if it's an Expy of WalMart).
