Gone are the days where your Sims can simply go to the career panel and select a job. With this mod, your sim will have to pass an interview AND have a required degree. Read more below:

This mod introduces:

•  An interview system
•  A degree requirement system
•  An application preparation process

This mod is available for Teens-Elders.

Selecting a Career:

When going to the career panel, your Sim will not be able to select a career until they first pass their interview and have the required degree. This is for every career EXCEPT: Freelance Careers, Actor, Interior Designer, Military. NOTE: For part-time careers, Sims will only need to pass the interview.

⚠️ NOTE:  There is a possibility that your playable Sims will lose their careers when you use this mod, even if they have a degree. That is because they technically have not passed their interview, so the game will throw them out of the career until they do so. If you want to cheat this, Shift Click on your Sims and select the “Pass interview” cheat, and then you can add them back to their careers once they have the required degree.

The Interview Process:
Your Sim will be able to do their interview either Virtually (on the computer) or In-Person (they go to a rabbithole). Virtual interviews are shorter than in person interviews. Sims are only allowed to attend an interview, be it virtual or in person, on Mondays-Fridays, between the hours of 9 A.M and 5 P.M.

To be able to attend an interview, your Sim will NEED to:

•  E-Mail the Hiring Manager
• Prepare and Submit their Resume and Cover Letter
• Prepare and Submit their Professional References

You can find these interactions under the career panel on the computer.

Succeeding and Failing an Interview:
Your Sim will most likely fail their first interview. When they do, it is ABSOLOUTLEY NECCESSARY that they complete the Follow Up on Past Interview interaction afterwards on the computer. If they don't, your Sim will continue to fail their job interviews! There is no guarantee that they will pass their next interview, but it does give them a chance at succeeding (at least once).

Your Sim will only be able to attend an interview ONCE every three days. After three days, the interaction will be available to them again.

Your Sim will also get a random buff after they pass or fail an interview.

NOTE: If for some reason you want to start the whole interview process over, go to the computer and complete the Withdraw All Applications interaction. This will reset everything.

SimDeed:
This mod introduces the SimDeed job platform where your Sim can find a job/career. The Find a Job interaction is now called Browse Job Openings, and you can find it under the SimDeed submenu on the computer. You can also find the SimDeed menu on phones.

 
Some things your Sim can do on SimDeed:

•  Browse Jobs
• Read SimDeed Exclusive Articles
• Browse Salaries (gives your Sim a random buff)

LlamadIN:
This mod also introduces LlamadIN (like LinkedIn lol) where your Sim can explore an array of job/educational interactions. Your Sim will need to create an account first.

Some things your Sim can do on LlamadIn are:

•  Network with Employers
• Pay Expert to Review Resume (§150)
• Practice Courses on LlamadIn Learning
• Study Interview Tips
• Research Educational Articles
• Research Companies
• Message University Alumni for Career Tips (only available for University Students)

This mod does NOT:

• Alter the Career Jump System that came with Discover University
• Alter NPC Jobs (i.e. Stall vendors, Paparazzi)
• Alter Freelance/Gig Careers
• Alter Career Payments

Tips, Cheats & Exceptions

• If you don't want to go through the interview phase, you can SHIFT+CLICK on your Sim and select the Pass Interview Cheat. (If your Sim failed a recent interview, ensure that they complete the Follow up On Past Interview interaction before doing this. Also make sure that you have cheats enabled)
• Try not to queue interactions. Wait until an interaction is complete, so the game recognizes that your Sim did it.
• For elders, LlamadIN does not appear correctly on their phones. I'm still looking into this.
