If your Satsuma is eating your wallet alive and you need a reliable money source, the factory job is your best friend. It is steady, predictable, and perfect for funding your project car, beer runs, and random errands. Once you are hired, you basically have a legal money printer sitting in town. Let’s walk through everything step by step so you can get employed without confusion.
What to Do Before Applying
First things first, ignore the yellow advert. That is not the job.
The actual workplace is the red factory building located near the intersection on the way to your parents’ house. That is where you need to go if you want real employment.
Before you walk in, always park your car properly and plug it in. This saves you from coming back to a dead battery after your shift, which is the fastest way to turn a good workday into a disaster.
Once you are parked and plugged in, head inside.
What to Do When Applying
As soon as you enter the factory, turn left. You will see a woman standing there. This is the receptionist, and no, she is not Suski. Talk to her. She will tell you whether the boss is currently in his office.
If the boss is available, go straight to his office and start talking to him. When he begins explaining things, you will notice that the dialogue can stall at certain points. Just keep pressing K to move the conversation forward until he finishes.
Sometimes the boss may be out of his office talking on the phone. If that happens, do not panic. Just wait nearby. The receptionist will tell you when he comes back. Once he returns, go in and repeat the same process.
After he finishes showing you around and explaining the job, you will receive a contract. Sign it. That signature is what officially turns you into a factory worker.
What to Do After Getting Hired
Congratulations, you are now employed.
Your standard work hours are from 7:00 to 17:00, and you must work at least 8 hours per day. The factory uses sliding work hours, which means if you show up late, your shift will simply move forward. For example, arriving at 8:00 means you will work until 18:00 instead.
You can stay longer than required to work overtime. Doing this increases your pay and can even earn you extra days off if you put in enough hours.
One important thing to remember is that every Tuesday there is a mandatory staff meeting. Missing it is a bad idea, so always plan your schedule around that day.
What Is the Job Actually Like
Your job is simple.
You package stuff. A lot of stuff.
Think of it like a very basic warehouse job. You put items into boxes, close the boxes, and repeat. It is not exciting, but it is easy, safe, and consistent. Most importantly, it pays reliably, which is exactly what you need while building your car and surviving in Peräjärvi.
