At the beginning of the series, Ryan Howard is a temporary employee at the Scranton branch of the fictitious paper distributor Dunder Mifflin. He joined the staff in the first episode and is unsure of what to make of the antics that take place in the office. As of "The Job", he has taken Jan's widely sought after job at Dunder Mifflin's corporate office in New York. This position seems to have boosted his confidence and infused his overall style with a great deal of arrogance. Ryan never made a sale while he was working in Scranton, and he started a fire in the office's kitchenette while trying to make a cheesy pita in "The Fire". (wikipedia.org)
