Working Worlds is the first Luxembourgish virtual Job market in Second Life. It is organized by GAX Technologies, a Luxembourg-based software company with an emphasis on new technologies and the financial sector:

Join us on Wednesday NOVEMBER 28th 2007 from 8 am to 9 pm for the first virtual job market. Do not miss the opportunity to get in touch with international companies. The possibility to find the perfect job that fits you. Just dare enter the world of Second Life. Just dare your first virtual job interview and let your dreams become reality.
Employers in Luxembourg are seeking new talents, so give yourself a real chance to improve your career.

If you’re looking for a new job and would like to work in Luxembourg, this might be a good opportunity to present yourself to potential employers in a different way than for the traditional job interview. This looks like a good way to meet a lot of people in a short time and without having to leave home. Registrations are already open on the Working Worlds web site where you can submit your CV.

There are a few very interesting statistics in this power point presentation I found on the These Days Blog:

The presentation says that there is no stability anymore and that only a few people are employed by the same company for a long period of time. This is particularly true for the PR and communications industry where you usually have many different jobs during your career. In a few years, I’m going to work in this industry and I wanted to hear from more experienced communicators if it’s really an industry where you change jobs every couple of years? It would certainly make sense because it’s a very fast-moving, dynamic industry with lots of different job opportunities. How was your experience? Have you had many different jobs in your career?

It’s funny that according to the presentation, I am going to have a job, use technologies and solve problems that don’t exist yet. This just shows how fast the world changes and that education doesn’t stop with university but is a lifelong experience.
