Second Life Virtual Career Fair: Clothing Suggested
Recruitment advertising agency TMP is hosting the first ever virtual career fair in the Second Life virtual world. According to the Baltimore Sun, the experiment begins today and runs through Thursday and participating employers include eBay Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Microsoft Corp., Sodexho, T-Mobile and Verizon Communications Inc.
In the article, one of the registered candidates discusses how he has prepared for the virtual interview and how he plans to interact with the recruiters representing the employers. One of his tips is that it is important to wear clothing. Apparently, some people neglect to put clothing on their virtual selves (avatars). I suppose that may go over well in some of their more risque areas of Second Life, but probably wouldn't be the type of behavior to win you many friends amongst the employers at this virtual career fair.
