New strategies for new worlds

VirtualJobCandy.com is hoping to be more than just a centralized site for virtual world job employers and seekers. Our virtual job services (http://www.virtualjobcandy.com/virtual-job-services/) include access to virtual offices so employers can conduct virtual interviews and job fairs and virtual interview training for candidates. An official VJC location will soon be established in the popular virtual world of Second Life, located on the Human Resource Island sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/HumanResource%20Island/112/121/27). Human Resource Island houses several Real Life recruiting firms and job boards including Semper International, Tower Consultants LTD, printworkers.com, and Gigs In Gaming. VirtualJobCandy.com is currently coordinating a party to celebrate the Second Life site launch (date TBD). Considering the visionary histories and capabilities of the company’s founders, expect to see VirtualJobCandy.com continue to innovate and experiment with virtual world possibilities.
