 # Talk to people, ask them what they're doing and if you could be of any assistance. The [[bar]] is an excellent place to find bored people who have nothing else to do but socialize.
 # Go get a rookie-version of some job, ([[Jobs#Civil_duty_jobs|Civil duty jobs]] are mostly easy) and join a department mid-shift. Walk to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP's]] desk (if there's no one manning the desk you can PDA message the HoP asking him to come as soon as possible) and ask him a job recommendation or recommend some of your own (e.g. Space Hobo, Pianist, Waiter, Monk, Boxer)!
-# Most rounds end with a shuttle call, the [[Escape Shuttle]] will arrive to the [[Escape Shuttle Hallway]], which you can find easily if you follow the panicking people, blood trails and hallways leading east. Get on board the shuttle and buckle yourself to a chair so you won't fall down during takeoff by clicking & dragging yourself on to the chair you're on and enjoy the ride! After you're all back at CentCom, the round ends and another one starts, such is the circle of life in SS13.

 # Read the few tips underneath and start your second round by choosing your first "real job" as a [[Cargo Tech]], which you should probably play for at least a few rounds. Don't get greedy, work your way slowly up from civilian jobs to more stressful ones. Good luck and have fun!
