While virtual job hunting in 3-D worlds may be considered an emerging trend, virtual job fairs hosted on Web sites are happening on a regular basis. Recently Building, a U.K.-based publication, sponsored Building Virtual Careers 2008—a two-day event held completely through a Web site.

From virtual job fairs accessed through Web sites to 3-D facilities constructed in virtual worlds such as Second Life, job seekers are finding interactive and rewarding paths to follow for securing employment. And well-established companies in the employment services industry are helping to blaze the trail.
