Poprocks. They are kid friendly so you can work there. They are on the Disco Italy sim.

Usually your avatar has to be 30 to 90 days old before an employer will consider you.  There is a good reason for that,  You need experience with SL and the people in it to be effective, especially when you have to deal with someone with authority, such as a host dealing with an unruly guest. 

When you've been in SL longer, look for places that cater to child avatars or g audiences that welcome child avatars.  You are going to be limited though and will be competing with other child avatars with more experience than you.

You may want to consider putting together an adult avatar to wear while working. Your opportunities for work will be greater.

I'm not trying to be a buttinski but have you tried posting your questions in "Answers"?

Instead of here in the General Discussion Forum?

Please, no.

We already have a ton of people posting their stuff into the answer section, when they clearly do not belong in there. Its perfectly fine to be here.

On a more on-topic note: Do you really think you could handle a job right now, Splatulated? The person hiring you will expect you to work without a problem and your current output on questions and descriptions of problems makes the impression that you still struggle a lot.

I will suggest that you make an alt for work, instead of having an adult shape, skin and clothes ans switch between adult/kid as Splatulated.

Since you have kids stuff in Splatulated, you don't need that in the new working alt.

The reason to that is that some people are really jumpy around child avatars. If you work as a hostess in an adult club, you will have to join the staff group to get the necessary privileges to rez tipjars and many other things. When you are in your child avatar, you send out a really bad vibe if your profile has groups that clearly belong to adult places. Working in only child friendly places will limit your choices a lot.

And this works the other way around. As a hostess, you will have to deal with possible griefers and if you have to ban someone, they will be really angry and read your profile and use children groups against you. You can also risk harassment in case some thinks you were rude to them or stepped on their toes. It is good to log in with another avatar and just relax.  

Setting up a new avatar is free and as a female, it is lots of good free things to get. Pink Fuel is a high quality skin store that just recently put out a very good skin and shape for avatars under 30 days old. There is so much other free things for female avatars, you can look really good.

And honestly... you need more time to be experienced enough in SL to have a work that demands that you can help others. People hire others that have the necessary skills for the job. Let us say you work as a sales representative for clothes and a customer has ruined the outfit and can't edit it back. If you have to call your boss and can't sort it out with the customer yourself, what is the point of hiring you?

Totally unrelated to whether the work is in an Adult location: who would employ a child in any kind of work? 

(Pause for outcry that child avatars are usually run by adults, this isn't the real world, and historically and in developing countries children do all kinds of work).

But surely adults roleplaying children want a childhood experience? They should be playing with other kids, attending school or being tended to by doting parents? If they're working, it should be chores for their parents, selling homemade lemonade or RPing a newspaper round. By their own standards, child-roleplayers should not be doing any kind of work in SL.

(I exclude from this position any residents who run their own business and deal with it in a generally out-of-character fashion. Or indeed, any who run a business and administer it through clever RP devices, such as having it fronted by parents or an alt).

Anyone who wants to be treated like a child should act like one.

For any kind of job, the best bet is to be active in the community where you'd like to eventually work. If you want to work in a child-friendly club, look for those places and go to their events to get a feel for how it works. If people know you're looking for a job, they may also know of someone hiring.

In the long term though, I think there's better money in building. It's still good to know the community where you'll be selling your products, but it doesn't rely on anyone else keeping their club open.

im glad about your enthusiasm and the fun you are having in Second Life, it will get you to succesful places, you already made your way to make things and sell them, having fun and being creative.

you will find a job, there are many places that need employees to help them, and you seem like a good person to hire, while you find a job, an idea is to continue developing your building skills, they are impressive, many people take years to learn what you do now in terms of creating, it seems to come naturally with you, have fun in Second Life, discover the many jewels that are around, and enjoy.

at the pace you are going, in a year, i can see you earning enough to cover your needs.

good luck!

It is always encouraging to see people look for ways to earn Lindens, rather than go about begging. Many people who have been here for years have never rezzed a cube before, much less taken the initiative to build something.

Something you might try would be to take a look at the clothing stores where you shop. Do they have "live" models wearing the clothing the store sells?  They may have applications for that kind of work.
