Job Types
In order to work at any of the Starter Jobs, you will be required to take part in a job interview. To pass the interview, all you have to do is answer correctly three questions relating to the sector you want to work in. If you get a question wrong you fail the interview and will have to wait until the next day to re-apply. If you quit a job then choose to re-apply at a later date you will still have to retake the interview.
There is an honor bar for offending all interviewers, but it is not recommended for player's looking for a place in Starter Jobs, because it disallows you to re-apply for around 3 days.
Specials marked as Passive are in effect even if you are not working in that job anymore.
