She can come in at the start of the next week. And she's very graciously thanked.
When the time comes:
"Welcome, welcome. Well, come in!" the Ghost Host calls her in. He's somewhere near the ceiling, as he prefers to be. "I'll be around for questions later. First, a seasoned mortal member of our staff will teach you a thing or two."
She's bustled by a woman in a somewhat grim maid outfit (her nametag says "Leslie"), deeper down the hall she previously visited as an interviewee. She wasn't the only one hired, but there aren't any others around for training.
Compared to the rest of the Mansion, the mortal staff training room is like stepping back into the outside world. The maid looks completely unfit, with only the worn wood of the floor and old hanging light betraying what it is. The wallpaper design's simple vertical stripes. Tables are like something pulled from an office, magazines (mainly historical) haphazardly tossed atop them. Blunt adverts for the Mansion are on the walls alongside various posters for horror movies and games.
The maid pulls a few boxes out of another room to the side, labelled 'outfits'. "Pick a uniform--changing room's right over there--and you'll be shown around the place, told what to do, how to do it, meeting a few friendly ghouls, all that. Any 'foolish mortals' you meet, you don't need to talk yet. Just don't smile at them. Keep in the mood of a funeral, not pretend cheer from anywhere else you've worked." That's a common enough problem.
