Like instead of opening up a newspaper and instantly being employed, they should have to go through some form of interview. Since (apparently) they are going to be having bosses, they should have their new personalities clash or mix during the interview. Perhaps a "jock" type Sim would have a hard time hiring a vegan . Or if you are friends with the interviewer, you have a higher chance of getting the job.

Also, it would be cool to have different branches of careers. Like if two Sims started out in the music track, the one with higher charisma, for example, went on to become a singer. One with more creativity got the option to become a song writer.

Love it. I always though the old job system was a bit jumpy and random.

What a snifty idea! Wish I'd thought of it.

Based on some of the things the developers mentioned in the magazine articles, I think every sim will have an actual NPC employer or manager. Maybe playable sims can even become the managers or employer either by starting their own business, like in TS2: Open for Business, or through promotions. I would love it if it worked like that.

I have had plenty of sims grab the cake all on their own, seems like they can't help themselves. Silly sims!

I've revived a topic

Now that we knw a bit more about careers and jobs, what jobs will u pick for your sims?

I still like the interviewing idea.

At least have them go in the building and apply but make it so that if they don't have enough skills for that position that they don't get it.

I think that's what they said in an blog article.

She talked about the musicans playing around town and gaining experience.

That also makes me glad we can choose pitches in our CAS. We can choose a sim who has a perfect voice and we know they could make it in the industry.
