One of our classmates posted this great article from the June 20th, 2007 Wall Street Journal about how to prepare for a job interview in Second Life. There were 431,00 unique visitors to SL in May 2007, and this is a sufficient number of visitors to be considered a job applicant pool. So if you interview in sl either at a job fair or in an individual corporate interview, how do you dress appropriately? Do you walk into the room or teleport? Do you sit or hover during the conversation? How do you clear up which time zone you are agreeing to meet in? How do you avoid accidents, like one person being interviewed, who instead of pulling out his resume from his inventory, pulled out a beer instead. And unless you are planning to work at a seaport, you probably don't want to dress like a mermaid.

I'm not sure I understand the use of the term "unique visitors". Do you think this means that they in Second Life just to attent the job interview? How do they tell?
I had a job interview as a dancer and the owner took her top off and started asking questions. Sometimes I think it doesn't matter. :D
