Don't - Start your own playerworld if you have to read these to know what to do when you start your own playerworld.

Do - Get experience working on other, existing playerworlds. Hosted/Classic playerworlds are the best because they usually have more experienced staff, and more developed content. Even if you can't get an official staff job right away try doing your own little projects on the side. Submit it to your favorite playerworld, and if the staff like it hopefully they will add it.
