An article in the New York Post 20 June 2007describes how companies are beginning to use the virtual community Second Life to interview for jobs. Candidates create an atavar (computer-generated persona) to represent themselves and communicate with instant messaging. It sounds more than a little wacky but maybe its a way to check out someones technical legal skills before taking up time with a full interview. It would identify people who are playing computer games and spending time in virtual worlds often enough to be able to handle the technology!
