The interviewer gave him the job because he thought he was disabled, and he ended up getting special treatment — they gave him his own office, he got a mobility scooter, and he was literally carried around the office. When they found out he was lying, they tried to fire him. So, he came into the office every day and did nothing as the employees all tried and failed to get him to willingly quit.
In the first couple of seasons of Seinfeld , before George became known for bouncing from job to job and being unable to hold down a regular source of income, he had quite an affluent career as a real estate agent. He had a sharp eye for the marketplace and was up-to-date and how the industry was doing.
When he quit, he tried to go back in the following Monday like it never happened. When George was out of work, Elaine managed to get him an interview at Pendant Publishing, the publishing house where she used to work.

Still, he aced the interview and got the job. Despite having no idea and no experience, they managed to get the pilot picked up by the network.
George passed on the offer in an attempt to negotiate for a higher salary, but he barely managed to scrape the deal back with a lot of groveling and a lower salary. With no job prospects, he ran into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when a talent scout spotted his hands and promised to get him work as a hand model.

It has been mentioned that Jerry and George both attended Queens College.
George's success there was somewhat debatable, as he mentions being a college graduate but his difficulty finding work and Diane DeConn, a former classmate of Jerry and George, claimed he was always goofing off and is never mentioned in the alumni magazine of the college. Jerry also told Elaine that George had gotten accepted to podiatry school, but nothing ever came of it. In the beginning of the series, George works as a real estate broker as shown when he tries to find a new apartment for Jerry in " The Robbery ".

It is in vain, however, as Sasha moves to Latvia. In " The Opposite ", George begins doing the opposite of all his instincts which helps him get a beautiful girlfriend and a job as Assistant to the Traveling Secretary of the Yankees. They eventually make up and move back in together.
In " The Engagement ", George and Jerry begin contemplating how they have lived their lives as children rather than as men. George is inspired to ask his former girlfriend Susan to marry him. He mentioned having to beg at first, but she finally accepted.

It ultimately is called off when Susan dies from licking toxic glue from the cheap wedding invitations George picked out.
