Kelly Services on Second Life

(if you enjoy this web page, please click on some more links! And/or sign up for Second Life.)

I happened to notice, while perusing the web site of a Second Life marketing company called Wishfarmers, that Kelly Services has a Second Life island. It's a fun island: Wishfarmers did a great job putting it together.

Kelly Services also happens to be the primary supplier of Measured Progress's educational test scorers. (This is not a big enough part of Kelly's business to be mentioned on the Second Life island.)

As of June 1, 2007, the Second Life island is keyed to Kelly's VirtualBreakRoom.com marketing campaign. The island and the web site are both worth a visit. And people actually are visiting the island! The coordinates of the Second life site are:

You may even get helped while on the island, which is very cool. The employees on the island don't work directly for Kelly, and the folks at your local Kelly office are unlikely to even know that Kelly has a presence on Second Life— but it's still cool. The island is designed to funnel you to the Kelly Career Network site, and if you are lucky you will eventually be called in to the local office to spend an hour or two or three filling out redundant forms. And if you are really lucky you will get some assignments perhaps even at Measured Progress...

I wouldn't bother mentioning Second Life to your supervisors at Measured Progress: 99% of them will have absolutely no idea what you are yammering on about. And I doubt that Measured Progress will be putting up a Second Life presence anytime soon.

There are some temp agencies which do hire temps to work on Second Life. Kelly, I believe, recruits strictly for First Life jobs.
