Career Opportunities
Maximum Comedy At Minimum Wage!
The town con and the town beauty team up to outwit a half-wit pair of would-be burglars.
Frank Whaley stars as Jim Dodge, a smooth-talking small-town guy with a knack for putting up a front--but no talent for holding down a job. But Jim's life suddenly takes a turn for the fantastic when he finds himself locked inside the local department store one night with Josie McClellan (Jennifer Connelly), the daughter of the town's wealthiest citizen.

this a good movie. this by no means a great movie, but this a good movie to watch. it stars frank whaley (this movie was released the same year as the doors movie which also stars frank whaley) and jennifer connolly who starred in labrynth (1986)which co-starred david bowie.Does Not Hold Up. Crappy! - TheCritic123
I saw this when I was younger and have never been able to track it down until I found zip. I nactually signed up for zip mainly for this movie and boy what the heck? This movie has a very dumb plot, unbelievable turns, a terrible lack of on screen chemistry and is down right disasterous. Please avoid this one at all costs.2 1/2 Stars - bleuorchid21
Career Opportunities is the story of Jim, a young man who can't seem to hold a steady job due to his antics and laziness. After his father has had enough of him, he decides to give Jim one last chance, working a janitor job at the local Target. When Jim is alone, he goofs off and doesn't take the job seriously. He is surprised to find that he isn't alone, but Josie, the girl of his dreams, has decided to stay in the store, afraid to face her rich father. The two seem to hit it off until two criminals spoil their fun.
Overall, the movie is a good watch to pass the time by. It isn't meant to be anything serious. For the guys, there is a younger Jennifer Connelly, who is as pretty as always.
I was surprised to see John Candy make a cameo as the head of the Target store. It was a nice surprise though, although he is uncredited for some reason.
