Aviva USA, and insurance company, is recruiting agents online. Not normally considered unsual. However, they have a private simulator (known as a private island, or better as a "region" or "estate") in virtual world Second Life, where you can learn more about the compnay and it's products and services, I'm sure.

However, you also can apply for a job there, too.

This isn't a first. There have been many real life job fairs held within Second Life. But this makes real sense: insurances (and many other) agents are spread through the states, even the world. So Second Life makes for a great, convenient, inexpensive way to meet and greet and all that schtufff.
