When you get the [!] invitation in the mail and your tama is transported to the "street" in front of a building, that building is the first of 5 possible work places where your tama can apply for the job.
Have a look at the list of jobs that spudi posted so that it makes it easier for you to ID which job the building is about:
https://www.tamatalk.com/IB/index.php?showtopic=95049
Then you have to press A (first button).
It acts like a scroll and takes you to the next building. If you don't like what you see, keep pressing A and you will scroll thru all the buildings / jobs available right back to the first one again.
When you see the Building / Job you want for your tama, you press B (middle button) to select it.
If you have enough skill points to apply for that job, you will see three Os come up and the King will appear and give you an icon to help you do your job (eg bottle of shampoo for Hair Washing job).
Your tama won't go to work because you didn't apply for any jobs.
Don't worry you will soon get another [!] in the mail and it will take you to the "street" again and you can choose a job.
