How to unlock the Jobsworth achievement in The Escapists - Definitive Guide
Hit quota at least once across all job roles. There are a total of 10 jobs and you can get this after you unlock the first two prisons. The jobs are very similar in what you need to do. I’ll explain exactly how to get a job, change jobs and complete each one as well as give a few other tips. The jobs are Metal Shop, Laundry, Janitor, Mail Room, Cook, Gardening, Unloading, Wood Shop, Librarian and Sewing.

easiest way to get a job that someone already has: just beat them up and be sure they can't meet the job quota during work hours. they will get fired, leaving a vacancy for you to apply.

There are three methods to get any job that I found.
1st Method:
Check the "Job Board" and find the name of the prisoner who has the job you want. Then on work day beat up the prisoner. I hid him in a random cell and then when he woke up, I beat him up again. He couldn't meet his quota so he lost his job. The work day finished and the job was vacant.
2nd Method:
Check the "Job Board" and find the name of the prisoner who has the job you want. Make him your minion by giving him items and money. Then on the work day waste his time so he can't meet his quota.
3rd Method:
Beat up 2 guards on the work day. Then all jobs are vacant since all prisoners couldn't meet their quota.
Job List:
Metal Shop, Laundry, Janitor, Mail Room, Cook, Gardening, Unloading, Wood Shop, Librarian, and Sewing.
Good luck on meeting your quota for every job!

How to get any job you want:
Get 100 rage at the job period by beating up 2 guards. You can then claim any job you want because they all fail their quota.
You can get the man on the run achievement if you hit 0 rage which I also made a guide for.

In total there are 10 different jobs in which you can have throughout the prisons in the game. The earliest you can unlock this trophy is in the second prison. Jobs serve as a form of income, earning you money as well as giving you access to certain items that can be used to craft. You are allocated two in-game hours for your job at each prison and each requires you to reach a quota within that time period, otherwise you will be fired and lose the job. The majority of jobs are very straightforward and you can reach the quota within 30 in game minutes. You can see your progress towards the required quota in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Once the yellow bar is full then you will have reached your quota for the day.
In the first two prisons you will automatically be given a job and there will be a further 8 jobs (4 in each prison) that you will need to perform. In order to change jobs you must get the inmate fired who currently holds the job you want. To do this you can consistently beat them up just before the job is scheduled to begin (e.g. 14:00 in the first prison) which will make them miss the job and get them fired. You will then need to apply for that job once they are fired. You can view which jobs are available and which inmates currently hold which jobs by viewing the job board within the prison. If you fail to reach the quote for a job, you will need to reapply for it at the job board. Note that you can only have one job at any given time.
See the below for a list of all 10 jobs in the game and the requirements to reach the quota for each one:
