How to get money in Erepublik

- WORK
The simple way to get money is working in a company. how to do it?
* Select "Economy" Bar, then choose Find a Job. Post your CV. Make sure that you select the industry that you are interested in. IF you want to put some notice, write it in the observatiosn column.
* Be active, The easiest way is to contact GM in every companies. Remember, do it politely.
* Always aware your wellness, Never get tempted with company who propose higher salary. It is recommended to check the quality of the company before accepting offer from GM. This is because your wellness will reduced as much as the level of quality in that company. for example, company that produce level 1 quality will reduce 1 wellness/ work. level 2 quality will reduce 2 wellness, etc.
Some tips from me:
* If you are leaving the company, it is better not to work first before accepting a job proposal. It will make your attendance percentage lower, resulting lower in productivity. That will make you cannot work at the first day and get GM some loss in profit. So, there is nothing wrong to think about it first before accepting job proposal.
* If you are in trouble, never hesitate to ask for help. always remember, no begging! it is common in online games, that begging is become habit, well it sucks. Always do your best! Only ask for help when you really need it.
