Once again, the work on the print volumes means that we only get a small preview strip today. Ah well, I do have those print books on order... Shame it had to happen when the comic had a cliffhanger of sorts going, though.
As to the two-panel preview; I recall more from elsewhere about this bonus strip, so I know that Ruby is talking herself into a job selling sex toys there. Which may mean that all we're getting is yet another "Ruby gets embarrassed" joke. On the other hand, the writers do occasionally remember that she's supposed to be determined and quite adaptable when she tries, and it'd be interesting to see that coming out in this sort of context.
The "kinda desperate" line suggests that she may be running her budget down - but it'd be slightly more interesting if she just finds that she needs something on her CV to get her foot in the door for full-time jobs. Or maybe she just hates the feeling that her qualification isn't getting her anywhere.

Re: Just a Preview Today
It depends on the sales job. If she is working at a call center then I could see it initially embarrassing, but if she approaches it matter of factly she could succeed or at the very least endure. However, if she is working in a bricks and mortar sex shop that is going to be a whole lot more than she could handle.

Sticking all of this behind a hiddenspoiler tag, because otherwise the censor bars will just get ridiculous...

It was mentioned somewhere in the depths of things during the Kickstarter campaign, as I recall. Hang on... Oh yes, Project Update e-mail #3 for the Kickstarter:

Re: Just a Preview Today
Really, there's no need for additionnal info to guess that it will be sex toys with just that two panels. It's like, I dunno, 99% probable ?
Which says something about the predictability of the comic.

Re: Just a Preview Today
I'm not gonna bother using spoiler tags. The preview made it clear what kind of product Ruby would most likely be trying to sell.
Hopefully, they'll put her to work in the "dungeon" section!
