The Office goes to the “Job Fair”

Last night’s episode of The Office found everyone’s favorite boss, Michael Scott, taking a group of employees from Dunder Mifflin to man a booth at the local high school job fair. Of course, Michael has a different perception of how to handle a job fair… and hilarity ensues.

The other main storyline in “Job Fair” found Jim working extra hard trying to woo a former customer on the golf course. After last episode’s suspension warning from Ryan, Jim is forced to care about his job to avoid being fired. I was beginning to wonder why Jim was so successful within the branch when he seemingly did nothing.

Overall, I loved last night’s episode. The antics on the golf course with Jim, Andy, and Kevin were great. I always appreciate Kevin’s unending seriousness about competition and gambling. Meanwhile, the job fair stuff allowed us to see a little more of Pam’s character in action (and the fact that she’s been getting a lot of harassment from Michael lately leads me to believe that she and Jim are going to be moving out of there).

Next week is the season finale for the show, and they’re claiming it’s going to be pretty big. Of course, any attempt to surprise us is thrown out the window, because the Office’s website plainly reveals that it’s Toby’s going-away party next week. Too bad that spin-off show that’s starting next season won’t be about Toby’s bachelor life.
