Plot
Convinced that he would get a corporate job in New York City, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) sold the condo and the name of his successor Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) as Regional Manager. Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) cheerfully detained her teammates from teasing her from the "Beach Games," and told Karen Filippelli (Rashida Jones) that she was not sorry about what she said but regrets put Karen in an awkward position. Meanwhile, Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) asks Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) whom he finds more interesting between Karen and Pam. Although Jim initially refused to answer, he became interested when Kevin began to compare the two women. He tells Kevin to keep thinking about it by joking, but seems very interested in the outcome.
Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin) arrives at the office to win Michael back. In a panic, Michael consults with the woman in the office. Pam tells her not to reconcile with Jan. Michael tries to deny Jan, but reverses him immediately when he sees that he has been doing breast enlargement. Jim and Karen drove to New York City together and spent the night before their interview. Karen tells Jim that if one of them gets a job, they should move to New York. He promises to do it, but meets with an awkward silence when he asks Jim to retaliate. Meanwhile, Dwight started his new regime, commissioned Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) the role of number two and asked Pam to be his secret as "Assistant Regional Manager." Dwight's new motivational style was unpopular, so she and Andy painted Dwight's new black office wall to instill fear.
During an interview at Corporate, Michael learned from CFO David Wallace (Andy Buckley) that he was interviewing for a job currently held by Jan, who would be fired. Michael went to Jan's office after the interview and quickly clumsily disclosed his impending halt. Jan storms into Wallace's office, interrupts Karen's interview, and refuses to leave. After Jan is escorted by security, Michael knows that he will not get that position. On the way home, Jan informs Michael that he will make their relationship a "steady job". After hearing that, Michael became uncomfortable.
Jim's interview with David went well until he found an exhilarating note from Pam along with a yogurt cover medal (reminiscent of the previous episode). Jim remembered the conversation with Pam after his confession on the beach. He secretly admits that he left Scranton because of his refusal and that he felt that he "never really returned," meaning that he has actively opposed his feelings for her. Pam tells him that she hopes he'll come back.
Just as Pam told the camera that she did not think that it would work between her and Jim, she burst into the room and invited her out for dinner. Stunned, he agreed, and Jim said, "All right, then this is a date." After Jim came out of the room, Pam became excited and forgot what she was talking about.
During a phone call, David Wallace offered a job to Ryan Howard (B. J. Novak), who accepted and immediately broke up with Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling).

Production
"The Job" was written by Paul Lieberstein and Michael Schur. The film was directed by Ken Kwapis, who, at the same time, directed the The Office actor John Krasinski in the 2007 movie License to Wed . The script reading for the episode took place on the beach during the filming of the twenty-third episode of the season, "Beach Games". Actress Kate Flannery commented that "we are very excited that we almost have other hot dog eating contests No This is a great script Many questions are answered Many << Office fans have been anxiously awaiting one hour episode, and guess what? You understand. "The original piece of the episode was one hour and twelve minutes, and had to be edited into forty-two minutes of screentime. It was the second Office episode to fill the full hour; the first is the third season episode of "A Benihana Christmas".
Krasinski received a haircut because of production on another movie, Leatherheads (2008), which he said "ended perfectly" for the end of the season. Co-creator Greg Daniels wants Jim to cut his hair for a while, because he thinks it will "slightly change him." Krasinski thinks it's "very smart" to make it look like Karen's idea. Kwapis was careful with Jim's reaction shots in the episode, because he did not want to "tip anything" to the audience about Jim's choice of Karen or Pam. Kwapis explained, "To me that is actually one of the big challenges of this episode is how to keep you alert in case you do not know where the story goes." Jim's flashback scene with Pam on the beach was originally intended to be a cool opening of the episode before Michael Schur suggested it was moved. Kwapis shot some late, and the players did not realize how the season would end.
Jenna Fischer likes to do her personal scene with Rainn Wilson because their characters rarely interact one on one. The filming of this scene takes place in the final days of production for this season, and not many people are still on set. The episode finished filming in April 2007. Two weeks before the end, Oscar Nunez actor gave a short satire in an interview with Entertainment Weekly , "There will be some movement.Most things move.Small shifts affecting the entire office So there are some good things to come in. That's all I can say. "

" James Poniewozik of Time magazine voiced similar sentiments, believing the end to be "good if not a great season-ender, and if the conclusions do not have the holy-nonsense factor of The Kiss last year, Pam's close reaction to Jim's return during an interview just like everything Jenna Fischer did in this show and also sweet.
