The answer

The Muslim woman must cover her entire body, and it is not permissible for her to work in a place that prohibits the Islamic head covering (hijab). If a woman is compelled to work in a place where hijab is forbidden, she must wear hijab as much as possible and cover as much of her body as she can, and she must always seek an alternative to this job, because necessity is determined by its extent.
