GAX Working World Virtual Job Fair

I attended the GAX Virtual Job Fair yesterday, and I'm not sure what I was expecting. I just wanted to check it out. In fact, it was quite nice - and a great way to make contacts and get information about current opportunities. I was very happy with the experience, and it's great to see so many companies looking towards virtual worlds for business solutions.

I met some really interesting people, both job-seekers and company representatives. Yesterday's fair was focused on Luxembourg, but information on other locations was available for the asking. The representatives were very informed and eager to help. GAXManager Ewing was very busy, but still took the time to talk for a minute. Hmm..I still owe Jeffronius Batra my resume too lol. I have to get to that some time today.

I did wait a long time, hours in fact, to speak with the Manpower representative but by the time I had to leave they hadn't shown up yet. All in all, it was a very satisfying experience.

Those of you who know me know that I am very deeply interested in the integration of virtual worlds, web 2.0, and business..not to mention everyday life. I'm working on projects which incorporate all of these resources into a cohesive foundation for business and work tools - applications - to further the integration of virtual technologies into daily life. A friend of mine calls me Big Brother lol. But in all honesty, this is what the job fairs that are going on in virtual worlds mean to me. They represent the idea that business and the working world is ready to meet us on our turf. I like that.

Remember, it's all in the wrist..
