you’ll be flying a sim during training so the sim environment might be better once you do a couple currency flights in an actual plane

A redbird is just a fancy desktop sim, and not a real certified full motion sim.
Apply and see what happens. Fly what you can. There are jobs that will hire you, but they may not be very good jobs. There are regionals that will hire with zero currency.

The point of “sim” time is proficiency so you are ready to pass 121 training, not logging time or faa box checking
and if you do want to log time, there are lots of details about which devices count towards what in which situation. But again… not the point
