You are wrong. The original sentence is correct. The instance of having an 's' as a result of something being singular does not apply here.

"Let the job look for you" is correct, and not "Let the job looks for you".

"She won't look for you" is correct, and not "She won't looks for you".

people... the key here is the word "let"... after the word "let" always use the "root" form of verb.

one common example: Let her go. (versus let her goes)
