Time for a Second Life non-profit job fair?

Posted on September 25, 2007 by

I just found this event notice on Eventful about the Dutch bank ABN-AMRO recruiting new employees on their Second Life island tomorrow.   Several other tech firms like Microsoft and T-mobile have done similar in-world job fairs, which makes sense if they are looking for a particular brand of creative geek.

Posted on September 21, 2007 by

I’m just dying for an authentic, interesting part of New York City to get built in Second Life.
