You will get offered a job 3 days after your tamagotchi has been an adult. You will have to have at least 50 skill points in each category to get an average job. For the bigger jobs, you will have to have 80-100 skill points.
ok, here's the deal (I had this problem with my tamagotchi) It won't go to work because it doesn't have a job. Just wait until you get a [!] and open it (it comes in the mail). Mr. Turtle (or your teacher if you changed it) will make a sad face and then your tamagotchi will start getting mad. You will get another [!] in the mail open it and you will be infront of a business. press B and your tamagotchi will get rated the judges have to give it a perfect score (three o's - not x's) and your tamagotchi will get that job. If you didn't understand it very clearly go to this link (it's a video of a tamagotchi getting a job)
you need 80 skill points in one of your skills to get a job and you need a certain amount of skill points to get certain jobs. If you're having trouble with the games and getting skill points, here's a guide:
Jumping Rope - random
Mimic - random
Shape - intelligence
Dance - art
Flag - social/kindness
hope this helped!
