As the previous person mentioned, bartending or serving may be a good job for her if she’s attractive and presentable.

Working in events, say for a catering company, is a good paying, flexible job. I have a catering company and a lot of the people who work for me are actors, models, artists, singers, students etc. who like the work because they can pursue their dreams during the day and work for me at night. I pay $20-$30/hr. The higher pay is for bartenders.

Tell her to take some GOOD PHOTOS of herself (like a professional headshot) and send her photo and a professional biography to every catering company in NYC. A lot of caterers aren’t concerned with experience as much as the person looking good, having a good personality, being on time, not being a slacker, reliable, never ever calling out sick, etc.

If she is late or calls out sick even once, she’s done!
