From: annna Deed I just want to talk with employer in world,not on forums,and i dont need your gifts and money,i just think this is the quick way to find a job. Seriously the better jobs are escorting BUT I advise you to be careful. You may be inveigled into voice or cam work which is nothing more than internet prostitution. Fun is fun but you must be careful of what lines you will cross. Other than that there are just a few stripper jobs. I became an escort and then a courtesan and finally, a man wanted to partner me. It worked out well for me but it took time. And that was years ago. It's not so easy these days.

No, actually having some skills to offer and being inworld is. Posting here and replying like you did (unfriendly and arrogant) is more likely reducing your chances of finding a job.

To the OP:
What skills do you bring to the table to qualify you for a job? So far the only skill you've demonstrated is the ability to create an SL account. This qualifies you to, um, let's see, sit in a camping chair.

Hi annna
The thing you might be missing is that Second Life is a community of people. I tried to talk about that with you at the hangout yesterday. In your impatience to get what you want FROM people you are missing getting to KNOW people, and I think you will not be successful in Second Life until you learn the difference better.

Many "escorts" claim to make money but dont they either buy it or just lie. Really are men that stupid to pay real money( yes real since the L$ can be converted and comes from real $$) for pixel sex and in many cases 2nd rate cybering? You were one of the lucky ones but as for recommending this as a position is not something one should do after all most new ppl have no idea of where to go or what to expect.

I also suggest working on your customer relations skills. There are precious few jobs out there that don't require some degree of customer relations skills, short of maybe parking your butt on a camping chair for 2-3 Lindens per hour. You could always fill out surveys, but you'd better have a spam-proof e-mail inbox. Some employers are savvy enough to check one's posting history on the forums to see if a potential candidate is going to be an asset to his or her business, or just a drama-fest looking for a place to happen.

But I have had offers, and I have also been randomly paid. Granted, I'm thinking of two cases, but then I don't work as an escort - and I usually spend my time in women only places. One wanted to pay me, until I refused to cam for him. The second just handed my 500L and then struck up a conversation. I felt kind of bad for that guy, because he hit me right as I was getting ready to log out. I get tips all the time when on dance poles - but that's men and women and the tips are usually small - under 100L - and part of the socializing. There are some guys who will just make tipping every dancer in a club part of the way they enter the place - granted these guys tip very small amounts. They and the dancers add to the ambience of a place and its kind of a cycle that helps keep the larger business running.

In your impatience to get what you want FROM people you are missing getting to KNOW people, and I think you will not be successful in Second Life until you learn the difference better. Exactly what Clarissa has said... Also Anna, explore all avenues....find out what you're best at...and develop it.. There are so many great classes on offer in-world...most of them free of charge. Take as many of them as you can and learn as much as you can. Eventually you'll find out what you're good at and what you enjoy and then you can use your skills to create and generate business from that and you can create your own job..and you won't have to be asking anyone for anything. I would also suggest that you re-read over your previous posts and perhaps you might understand why you may not be getting the response that you were possibly hoping for. Whatever you decide to do...the best of luck to you..

Not always the best indicator though. Some of us work in multiple personas. I'm a lot nicer both in person and in SL than I am in online forums. My forum personality is too technical and almost always fails to convey my emotions. In RL I'm very chatty (which I cna be in forums too), but in a nicer way, and I'm been lucky enough to carry that through into SL. Some people are the reverse - nicer in forums than they might be in person, or in SL. Some are nice in person, nice on forums, and mean in SL... I think everyone has multiple ways and personas they adopt in life. How you are around friends, strangers, co workers, family, church, and so on. - Get to know them in SL more than on forums. They could be better or worse in SL.

From: annna Deed I just want to talk with employer in world,not on forums,and i dont need your gifts and money,i just think this is the quick way to find a job. As others have specified, taking a look in Classifieds can be a great way to find a job. I've also seen jobs listed in the Events section of Search. You can also try taking out a classified. I have had one for a while now, and get a lot of work that way. What skills do you have? Can you DJ? Can you host? Are you able to emote? Dancer jobs are pretty easy to find, as long as you have a decent looking avatar and a wardrobe to go with it. Some places still pay models I think. And I'm fairly certain some businesses will sometimes hire people as customer service reps. You might also try looking in the Help Wanted forums either here, or at Xstreet. Best of luck.

From: Sredni Eel Dancer jobs are pretty easy to find, as long as you have a decent looking avatar and a wardrobe to go with it. A good and original looking avatar can go even further. Wardrobe is a mixed bag. You don't want to intimidate potential tippers into them thinking you think you are above them... I noticed that even though I had sexier outfits, after I started shifting off of freebies and onto purchased fashion, I got less random IM and tips from people. It works best when I look cute, original, and still a little simple - but not too much. People love to watch sexy from a distance, but they love to reach out and pet (or otherwise interact with) cute.

I to have been given money for different reasons once for just chatting another because they liked my profile. I gave it back. Its a pity so many in SL focus on money not on the people

From: Windsweptgold Wopat Really are men that stupid to pay real money( yes real since the L$ can be converted and comes from real $$) for pixel sex and in many cases 2nd rate cybering? This is called a loaded question (there is no way for me to answer yes that some men do pay for -- all kinds of -- sex without also saying yes to being stupid/accepting 2nd rate cybering). I have occasionally paid for pixel sex but it was carefully selected and TOTALLY worth it, not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper and safer than a RL hooker (and for the record, I have a high IQ  ).

XD And do you mean, you enjoy ball sitting with people you know, rather than strangers? While some good balls help (all puns aside, look up Christy Lock), it is more about the dynamics of the, ummmm, personal attention.

Yeah - poseball sitting is mostly just comedy theater. Cybering is about well... improv writing skill. - You'd be amazed, for example, how far remembering that emotes start in 3rd person, and thus are best kept in 3rd person, can go... (pet peeve of the moment...)

From: annna Deed Please send me an IM.Thanks,and I repeat ANY job. You would never go to a RL company and say "I want a job, any job. (At least I hope you wouldn't) You need to understand that behind those pixels are real people having to make quick judgments regarding their business. There's plenty of people out their looking for jobs and most are looking for someone with excellent people skills. If you read some of the previous posts in this thread you are obviously making more enemies than friends. Based on what I've learned from you in the forums, I wouldn't consider you at all. I'm not being mean, it's just the facts.

What Bradley said is true, you have to apply rl tactics in securing a job inworld. Most employers have you actually complete an application. Most likely you will be interviewed. Just like you, business owners would like to make some money too. So they want to hire the most capable person. Some have certain stipulations such as how old your avie and would you be able to commit to a certain time. Especially, if they are open 24/7. If you are looking for a job as a greeter or host, you must have a amicable personality to say the least. You must be able to handle all situations in a professional manner that includes with dealing with griefers. Alot of people you see here in the forum owns sims, have businesses of all kinds. Your employer may well be from this forum.
You would never walk in a rl job appearing desperate and that should apply in sl too. Take some of the suggestions and advice to heart. You are almost 3 months old and like rl things take time. Also put something in your profile. There is nothing in it. Alot of people read profiles. A decent profile goes along way with meeting people. The new continent Zindra is opening up and a lot of businesses are relocating there. If you are not age verified, then get verified. I'm sure there will be alot of opportunities available there.
Another suggestion, if you can buy Lindens, 5000L can go a long way for fun.

Oh I am well aware of emoting but being honest most hookers opps sorry escorts in SL have no idea it is about about ball sitting . As for ball sitting with ppl i know well no as i am not into it with just anyone
