Here is a quote from a blogger colleague who got a job with Amazon.com at a Second Life Job Fair last year:

Simone Brunozzi: “It was an ordinary day in Italy on November 28th, 2007, when I logged in to Second Life. I had planned to visit the Luxembourg Virtual Job Fair to report my impressions on my Second Life blog. Tired of being a disposable system administrator at the University for Foreigners in Perugia, without any good career opportunity ahead, I was looking for a new job, and the fair was therefore a chance for me to look around.

I will be at the Second Life Job Fair on Thursday. Come and join me. Leave a comment below and let me know if you plan to attend. My avatar name is Xavier Zweig. I look forward to seeing you and meeting you inworld!
