Jobs hiring noobies/tips?

[EllieFay]

I'm very new to this game, however I can tell I'll be staying for quite a long time as it's relaxing between my course classes and I've already made friends. I know it may be hard to do, but I'd like to not spend any money on the game until later down the road. So I'd love to work! However, most places require you to be 30 days old (which I understand and I can wait), but they also require almost mesh everything. :( This is the hard part as a noobie...I've done my gosh-darn best to look acceptable yet I don't think I qualify yet. So here's the issue: in order to obtain mesh items I need to work but to work I need mesh items.  Are there any places hiring that would accept the looks I have currently until I can upgrade? I have a plethora of clothes that aren't too bad as well! (Trust me...I searched high and low for the BEST freebie items I could find). I'm willing to do most jobs and can do any verification and interview needed! However, I AM a university student, but my courses are during the day EST and I have the night free (unless it's exam week..god forbid). Any help is appreciated! <3 Tips and advice are loved!

There are places that hire noobs.  There are also lots of places that don't require mesh; in fact I've never had an employer that I've worked for in SL (as a hostess, 4 yrs experience) ask me if I wear mesh.  And... I've been to some active high-population clubs where the hostess and/or DJ wore system clothing.  So, yea you might have to wait 30 days before you can get hired but your clothing, hair and makeup may not be an issue.  Also... heads up: chances are you will not make enough Lindens in a job to support your SL shopping habit.  Even at the bigger, more well known clubs hostesses don't make more than 2k Lindens in a two-hour set.  More than likely you'd earn between 0-2k Lindens depending on the club, the traffic, and the set time.  Others may not have the same opinion as me, but this has been my experience.
