You didn't close quotes.

"first job”

Note that ” are not the same as " Console is waiting for you to close all the brackets and quotes before it executes the command.

if you copied and pasted the code the problem is with the last double-quotes

'”'.ord #=> 8221
'"'.ord #=> 34

'”' == '"' #=> false
