    When the interviewer frowned at our resumes with raiding experience as a category, accepting the job may not have been a good idea. As each day goes by, smashing gnomes over the head, podding miners, or living a life of drunken combat all remain daydreams as we waste away in the cubicle. Luckily, there is hope! Gax Technologies of Second Life will be affording players a chance to find a real world job so that visiting the Stonefire Tavern for an ale might be a viable lunch break option.The best part of job hunting through Gax Technologies' Working Worlds Career Fair is that you do not need to get up, put on a tie, and drive through traffic that rivals Jita on a good day.

    I see more and more of these as the months go by and real life companies with a presence in Second Life begin to get a feel for what works. Cisco Systems, Inc. will be holding a Virtual Career Fair for European residents on their island on Tuesday, November 6th, from 9 to 11 AM PST. Among the presenting partners will be Dimension Data UK, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg; NetDesign; Alliant Technologies; Affinity; Voice Tech; Touchbase; Telindus; and BBNED.Those interested in attending this event are encouraged to register here, and there is more information on the event itself here. Additionally, attendees will be able to meet with Cisco representatives to ask questions about the company and its partners.Would this event be worth creating an SL account to attend? Maybe not, but it's a great answer to newbies who keep asking 'How can I get a job in Second Life?'(Thanks, Allison!)
