Read your tooltips, look over your traits, and look at your role actions. Take the time to try and learn what the actions do and how they work together. Set up your hot bars appropriately. Practice on a dummy, in potd, hoh, and other low level dungeons. You can also look up written guides or visual/audio guides on youtube. The forums might also have some how-to-job guide resources available so you can also try to make use of the search function.

Your best bet is to learn how everything works and practice until you feel like you have a handle on the job and can play it efficiently in higher level content. Don't join harder content (ex. extreme primals) until you're comfortable playing the job. With enough practice and experience, you will be okay.

Also, not all players care if a new or returning player buys a level skip potion. As long as the player takes the time to properly learn how to play the job and practices it enough, it doesn't really matter how you level.
