[Yams is in his usual kimono+scarf combo today; he hasn't yet embraced that modern aesthetic.]

Ah, hello! I hope this is the right place for this! It seemed like other people were asking questions on here, so I thought maybe I could do it too?

How do humans normally get jobs? I want to do something to stay busy, but I've never had a real job before--master usually just tells us what chores we're assigned to do for the day.

Oh! Or if anyone wants to train, I'd be happy to do that! I promised someone that I was going to get stronger, so I better make sure I don't lose my edge before I see him again.

[ .. as always, yams is adorable. ]

You'll have to let me know if you get any interesting suggestions.

[Oooooooooh, Mettaton switches on the feed with good ol' lazy-lidded eyes, a quirking of a smirk, one pointer finger aloft - elbow propped up on the back of a hand...

A humming chuckle for a moment! "Hmmmmmm-hm-hm-hm-hmmm...!"][A wag o' that finger on beat with each.]

Have you never heard the phrase...

[Quirks a brow.]

..."build it, and they will come"?

Well, what a timely question! I got one recently! I might not be human, but I think the process is just the same: find an establishment that matches what you can do then ask if they have any openings! Sometimes you might have to prove yourself further with an audition or a test, but that’s pretty much it!

Is there any kind of job you’re eyeing, Yasu darling?

I think a quest board is how you usually get a job.

Maybe.

This place is pretty different from what I'm used to, but...

[ She figures getting a job can't be too much different? ]

I think it all depends on what kinds of skills you have, but generally, you just need to see if there are any apprenticeships available around here.

....Mind passing what you hear to me?

[The blond asked quietly, her lips pursed in a petulant fashion.]

It's too quiet here. I dunno what to do with myself.

Hi.

[As that seems the proper way to start these things, right? Seras had been a police officer, at least until she died. And then, her duties had switched a little, more due to the fact that she had become a vampire.]

Is there something that you like to do, or something that you're skilled at?

[ritterstand]

[ How very eager. This attitude reminds Lancelot of the new trainees knights back at home. ]

If you wish to train, it would help to specify what you are looking for. Are you looking perhaps, for those who are skilled in armed combats? Hand to hand?

[ah, the days of job hunting........ well, actually, he was kind of lucky to stumble into a job here, but you know. It’s hard!!]

Ah, it can be a little bit of an intimidating process if you’re unprepared, but I can walk you through the steps of it. First, you’re going to want to write up what’s called a resume. It’s basically a list of things your future employer can use to judge your qualifications and find ways to contact you to let you know if you’ve got the job or not.

Most people include their previous employment, but since you haven’t had any actual jobs before, you’re going to want to include your skills and any professional training you have. For example, if you mostly do household chores, you’ll want to list what kinds of chores you have experience with and do particularly well. As a preliminary thing, I’d suggest listing everything out that you can think of that would translate into something you could do for a job, because that might help you decide what sorts of positions you’d like to look into.

Another thing to include would be... well, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. If there’s anyone else here who knows you from back home, you’ll want to include their contact information and how you know them so they can vouch for your abilities. This is what we call a reference.

Are you with me so far?

That depends on what kind of training you're looking for. Just make sure you're getting stronger for yourself too.
