He goes there, but loses confidence. Luckily, Patrick helps him regain it. Squidward notices SpongeBob, and realizes he is trying to get a job. He tries to warn [[Mr. Krabs]], but he is too late. Squidward tells him he isn't qualified, so Mr. Krabs gives him a test to get him a turbo spatula. Later, anchovies flood the restaurant, demanding for food. SpongeBob returns with the spatula giving them the [[Krabby Patties]]. He gets the job, much to Squidward's dismay. Patrick comes in and asks for one Krabby Patty. SpongeBob overdoes it. ==Reception== This episode was so popular that it got a [[mh:besttvshows:Help Wanted (SpongeBob SquarePants)|page on Best TV Shows Wiki]]. However, its main criticism was the animation, looking choppy and off-putting. However, it was understandable, being the first episode and airing during a time of traditional animation.
