Looking to jumpstart your Zoi’s career in the vibrant worlds of inZOI? Whether your Zoi dreams of becoming a K-Pop idol in the bustling city of Dowon or a thrill-seeker at Bliss Bay Amusement Park, landing a job is your first step to unlocking their full potential. Discover how to navigate the in-game smartphone, explore diverse career paths, and climb the ranks from trainee to pro in this essential guide to getting a job in inZOI.
How to get a job in InZoi
To get a job in InZoi, first select the Zoi character you want to employ and open their smartphone by clicking the purple phone icon or pressing the default key ’P’. Then, tap the purple “career” app at the bottom of the phone screen to view all available job vacancies in the city. You can apply for either full-time or part-time positions, but note that full-time jobs generally pay better and offer more career advancement opportunities. Jobs start at the lowest rank, so your Zoi will need to work their way up in their chosen career. Some jobs may be grayed out if your Zoi does not meet the age or other eligibility requirements. Additionally, job availability varies by city, and you can also use the world map to find workplaces marked with purple job icons. Once hired, you’ll receive notifications before work starts to prepare your Zoi for their tasks.
To give your Zoi a job, select the Zoi and then press P or click the smartphone icon in the bottom-center of your screen. Use the phone interface to press the purple “career” button on the bottom of the phone screen. This will open up a ton of jobs for your Zoi to choose from. You can just select the career that you want and hit the “apply” button, instantly setting your Zoi up with the job.
Note that some options will be grayed-out, if your Zoi isn’t qualified for them.
Unluckily, the InZoi job interface isn’t super intuitive, and you can’t check what qualifications your Zoi needs to meet in order to apply for those higher-ranking jobs. (We’re pretty sure it’s just to reapply for said position if you were building that track and then quit it.)
The only qualification that shows up is age – in which most jobs can be applied to as long as your Zoi is not a teen, child, or a senior. (There are a few exceptions to this, such as the entertainment track that requires you to be a young adult.) So the only choice you have is to just apply for a job in a career track that you have interest in.
How jobs work in InZoi
Jobs in InZoi work through a straightforward system accessed via your Zoi’s smartphone. By selecting the purple “career” button on the phone interface, you can browse a variety of available jobs and apply instantly for the one you want. Jobs differ in type: some are passive, where your Zoi leaves for work offscreen, and others are active, requiring player interaction during the workday. Most jobs have a three-day workweek, with payment only on workdays, and schedules can be checked on the Zoi’s calendar. Age is the main qualification, with most jobs available only to young adults and adults, and no explicit skill requirements for promotions. Each city in InZoi offers unique career opportunities, and consistent attendance improves job performance and promotion chances over time.
When it’s time to go to work, your Zoi will leave the lot and head off. Depending on the job, you may just be waiting for them to come home. Some jobs will have you follow your Zoi to their workplace and completing tasks around their workplace. The jobs with the gray briefcase icons appear to be “just send them off” type jobs and the ones without it have you follow them to the office.
Jobs also have different demands and work dates. Most jobs only work three days a week, but there are some other jobs that have four or five-day work weeks. This is important to consider, since your Zoi only gets paid on the days they work. If you’re desperate for money, you may need to choose a job that works more days (or maybe just use a money cheat).
If you need to double check what days your Zoi works, you can check the schedule via your smartphone.
While the cities have some of the same careers (like the military or criminal tracks), some cities have unique careers. For example, Dowon, the city based off of Seoul, has an esports career track and a pop idol career track, whereas Bliss Bay, the city based off of Los Angeles, has football and amusement park career tracks.
