Jimmy Gets a Job is the eighth episode of the first season of the American sitcom, Yes, Dear. The show follows the challenges and mishaps of two young couples, each with a child, who are raising their kids in close proximity to each other.

In this episode, Greg and Kim are excited to hear that their neighbor and friend, Jimmy, has finally gotten a job after being unemployed for several months. However, their happiness is short-lived when Jimmy stops by their house to show off his new outfit for work, but it quickly becomes apparent that he has no idea what his job entails or even where his workplace is located.

Jimmy's new job is at a telemarketing company, and he has been instructed to call potential customers and try to sell them cleaning products. However, Jimmy has no prior experience in telemarketing and struggles to make a single sale. His confusion only grows as his boss chastises him for his poor performance and gives him minimal instruction besides telling him to "just keep dialing."

Feeling overwhelmed and out of his depth, Jimmy turns to Greg and Kim for help. Greg, who is always eager to lend a hand, suggests that he ride along with Jimmy to work and observe him in action. This turns out to be a disastrous idea when Greg winds up getting mistaken for Jimmy and ends up on a date with a woman that Jimmy had called for a sales pitch.

Meanwhile, Kim is left to deal with the fallout of Greg's mix-up and is less than pleased when she finds out what happened. She calls the company to try and straighten things out but gets frustrated when she can't seem to speak to a real person.

In the end, Jimmy manages to make a sale by accidentally dialing the wrong number and getting a sympathetic woman on the phone. He returns to Greg and Kim's house, overjoyed with his success, and announces that he's decided to quit his job since it's clear he's a natural salesman.

Overall, Jimmy Gets a Job is a humorous and relatable episode that highlights the struggles many people face when trying to enter the workforce or start a new job. It's a reminder that even the most mundane tasks can be intimidating and stressful, and that sometimes all it takes is a little help from your friends to get through difficult times.
