Career Opportunities is an American romantic comedy film that was released in 1991. The film starred Frank Whaley and co-starred Jennifer Connelly in one of her first lead film roles. It was written by John Hughes and directed by Bryan Gordon.

Plot summary

The film stars Whaley as Jim, a lazy slacker who is trying to get a well-paying job but instead ends up as a night janitor for Target. On his first shift at his new job, Jim is locked, alone, in the store by his boss. Connelly is Josie, the stereotypical "spoiled rich girl". The main action of the film begins when Josie, in a half-hearted runaway attempt, hides in Jim's store after hours. Discovered by the lonely janitor, Josie and Jim identify each other as kindred spirits and proceed to enjoy the freedom of being locked together in the store overnight. But things become complicated when two incompetent crooks, played by brothers Dermot Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney, break into the store and hold the two teenagers hostage until the tables are turned.
