Building Virtual Careers is a fully interactive online experience, from
Building, the market-leading construction publication.

The event will include exhibitor booths and allow registrants to chat with
leading companies in the construction industry, as well as other attendees, in
real time.

Unlike a traditional careers fair, Building Virtual Careers can be
accessed from your home or office. This means no travel costs, no time out of
the office and no worry of being spotted by your employer.

The event will be for those in the industry who want to:
– Find a new career
– Find out what projects top construction firms have won
– Increase industry knowledge through free online seminars
– Discuss career opportunities and development with leading companies

Consultants, contractors and house builders will be among the exhibitors,
including Faithful + Gould, Network Rail, Davis Langdon, TPS, KEO
International and many others.

Attendees will be able to pick up company information, drop off a virtual
business card or CV and apply immediately for live vacancies and start the
interview process. The show will also feature seminars on such issues as
working abroad and what employers want in a changing market.

Building Virtual Careers is free to all attendees. To register, please
visit. http://www.building.co.uk/virtualcareers .

Building, a weekly title published by CMPi, is the UK’s oldest and
best-read construction magazine. It was launched in 1843 by Joseph Aloysius
Hansom architect of Birmingham Town Hall and designer of the hansom safety cab
and once counted Prince Albert, Charles Dickens and Florence Nightingale among
its readers. Over 100,000 professionals throughout the building industry,
including building contractors, housebuilders, architects, quantity surveyors
and building surveyors, read the magazine.

On Thursday May 29th, 2008, GAX Technologies will host the second Working Worlds Career Fair in Second Life. The aim is to provide an online venue for job seekers wanting to work in the Benelux countries; Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Some of the biggest corporate employees in Europe will be present to take applications, present their companies, and even interview candidates for the positions available.

In order to participate and have an interview planned in advance, candidates need to leave their CV at www.working-worlds.com anytime from the 15th of September, 2007. Professionals will have their own customized offices or rented spaces – designed by GAX – where they can hold interviews, create new contacts, and hold company presentations. Each participating company can profit from the job-trade market while simultaneously showing off their innovative and creative images worldwide.

GAX’s Managing Director, Cornelia den Hartog – Second Life name GAXDirector Weston – offered her thoughts and comments on the venture during a recent in-world interview at the offices of Wilder Public Relations, Inc.
“Primarily, GAX Technologies is an IT solution company and we work mostly on browser-based software. We have created our own CMS and we create a lot of websites. But last year, we decided that if we can offer a website service, we should also be able to offer a virtual world presence. As a start, we created our own offices. Here in Luxembourg, we were the first and it became a real hit. Our Minister of Economics even did an official opening by planting the Luxembourgish flag.
“Following the opening, we got a lot of demands for Real Life and Second Life jobs. Now in Luxembourg – and some other parts of Europe – there is a big demand for candidates on all levels and branches. So we decided to do something for our clients and that is how we started with the first job fair.”
I asked her how successful the previous fair had been.
“Well, about 2000 people attended and some 300 interviews were done. These were real interviews that took more than 15 minutes. It was a great experience for recruiters as well as for the candidates. It saves a lot of time and travelling fees, and the interviews were very direct. Candidates and recruiters felt freer to go directly to the essential questions. Around 50 people got RL jobs here in Luxembourg, which is huge for such a small country. This year, we have more job offers and a bigger diversity of companies; so I hope to at least double the visitors.”
Cornelia explained that in terms of any return on investment in this venture, current RL profits are limited. “We had to invest a lot – in the islands, in the website, and in the software to handle the profiles of the candidates. In fact, the Working-Worlds website has a whole job-board behind it, which we created ourselves.”
And the future for GAX and Second Life?
“Well, we have the third fair planned for more of Europe in November this year. We are going for Europe because we have already got some demands from outside the Benelux countries. I also think that one of the nice things on SL is that there are no borders and we should honor that. In fact, last time we had 45 different nationalities applying.
“We would also like to keep on using the communication possibilities of Second life, which for me are one of the most important features. We’d also like to promote the SL experience as a learning and convergence tool. We already started giving some language courses by supporting one company with their e-learning courses for financial services. I think this is one of the ways SL can be used as a real business tool. It is an addition, not a replacement, to the standard e-learning model.”

According to Annette Wilder, whose SL PR company is handling the GAX account in-world, “The Working Worlds sim is full of job opportunities in the areas of finance, information technology and telecommunications, industry, and commerce. The Career Fair is the most efficient solution currently available to these companies to reach beyond territorial limits and it does not require prospective employees to travel. You can sit in the comfort of your own home and attend an actual interview for the job of your dreams.”
Cornelia ended by asking me to encourage people to go to the job fair and take a look at what it is all about, even if it is simply to see how such an event takes place. Potential candidates can still register at the Working-Worlds web site.

Date: 29th May, 2008
Time: 10:00 am to 9:00 pm Central European Time (1:00 am to 12:00 noon SLT)

The first of its kind careers event, sponsored by the Emirates Group, aims to effectively connect qualified job seeking candidates with gainful career opportunities. Candidates will have the easy and unique option to ‘attend’ the job fair from any Internet-accessible computer and submit their resumes to participating companies of interest at all times, while enabling local, regional and international employers to establish an active talent-seeking presence, without physically being in a location.

“At Bayt.com we are committed to developing innovative methods and continually facilitating the process for employers to actively find, interact with, and recruit relevant job seekers; and for job seekers to easily research the newest and most exciting vacancies from some of the best employers in the region,” commented Bayt.com’s CEO, Rabea Ataya.

As part of the initiative, Bayt.com will be setting up animated 3D “Virtual Booths” on the website for different companies participating in the job fair, and each booth will, as in a physical job fair, be branded with the exhibitors’ names and logos and will provide access to a range of information about the company, including its corporate culture, objectives and recruitment practices.

The job fair will also provide a range of benefits for job seekers, explained Ataya; “Full-time professionals who are seeking employment might not have the time to attend job fairs, and so the virtual version is an efficient and convenient method for them to find new openings without taking time off work. Furthermore, the virtual job fair provides complete confidentiality to every candidate, regardless of which company or which job he/she applies to; and removes all the associated costs in terms of travel or transportation to get to a physical job fair venue.”

Other features of the innovative virtual job fair include a CV drop option for job seekers to directly submit their CV to the booths of their choice and directly apply for advertised jobs; and an option for employers and job seekers to interact in real time via either online or video chat. In addition, a series of links will enable job seekers to connect to a directory of current vacancies in a particular company, avoiding the hassle of having to root through various job postings.

In turn, the virtual job fair provides employers with the ideal forum to increase brand awareness about the their company’s unique attributes, and allows organizations to advertise their job vacancies on the Middle East’s number one job site, which already has over 2 Million registered users from over 94 industries and 182 countries.

For employers and professional recruiters, participating in the online job fair will minimize the hassle, time, and resource requirements often associated with event management at a brick and mortar job fair; allows for cost savings of up to 50% and can maximize an organization’s HR ROI. Following the event; employers will have the option to measure the success of the virtual job fair for their organization, with advanced and accurate reporting tools.

“Career seekers are increasingly utilising the internet to identify their next career move, thus it is important for employers like ourselves to be able to convey information on the range of opportunities we have available through new online initiatives like the ‘virtual job fair’. Most job seekers are already employed when they start seeking new career prospects – they are busy people and innovations like the ‘virtual job fair’ herald an exciting new future where technology is harnessed to help companies market their employment brands and career opportunities,” said Rick Helliwell, Emirates’ Vice President – Recruitment.

“An event such as this is an ideal forum for really bringing together job seekers and employers in the increasingly technology-savvy business environment. Online recruitment has a fundamental role to play in the way that companies recruit their staff today in the region, and by holding an event such as this, all sectors will be able to see that due to the sophistication of today’s online recruitment, it is a very efficient and convenient process for securing employment,” concluded Ataya.
