Storyline[]

April goes to Washington with Leslie, who gives April a five-year plan for politics, even though April doesn't intend to stay in politics. While April is in Washington, Andy recruits Ben to help discover April's dream job. They first go to Ron, but realize the job isn't for April. Ben then suggests April work for an accountancy firm. Meanwhile in Washington, April and Leslie meet a bunch of politicians, and eventually April tells Leslie that she intends to quit politics, which freaks Leslie away. After some time, Leslie realizes that she should be supportive of April, and decides to help her to discover her dream job by bringing her to a job search center.

April eventually realizes that she wants to work at the job search center, so that she can help people discover what they want and then send them far away from her. Back in Pawnee, Andy, Ben and Ron recruit Garry, Tom and Donna to review and print April's resume for the accounting firm. However, Andy feels that what they're doing isn't enough, so he dresses up as April and throws firecrackers at his potential employer's car. When April returns, Andy and April both recount what happened to them. At the accounting firm, Ben and Ron finally convinces the company to give April a try, but they receive a phone call telling them that April does not want the job.
