There have been some players talking about making newbie equivalents of jobs to let people signify that they're new and to lower expectations.
It has also been attempted in the past with medical and technical assistants, with less than success.
What I think could potentially work out and that I've seen on other stations as a cool feature:
Some servers feature alternate job titles. Jobs themselves are a clickable field in character setup and it allows you to select a different job title for the job. So for example, instead of "miner" it can be "explorer" or "excavator", or instead of "medical doctor" it can be "paramedic".
The job itself remains the same, just the title is different and can be used to express which part of the job you're focusing on.
Implementing the same, but allowing titles that among other things could be used to convey someone's new, i.e. "novice medical doctor" or "rookie security officer"/"security officer in training" etc could potentially give people a way to show that they're new and that they might be eager to learn or otherwise be taught.
It could also be used for other things in letting people give themselves more personalised/gimmicky titles.
