This fall will be my last semester as a graduate student at SJSU. With this course, I hope to get introduced to possible virtual career opportunities, where I can work remotely from anywhere in the world as an archivist. As of right now, there are not a lot of virtual careers available in my field of study (Archives and Records), but I hope that there will be in the very near future. Some of the goals I am aiming towards learning about:

I. Requirements and expectations in a virtual career

II. What types of virtual careers are currently available

III. How to continue on in an internship after graduation

IV. The probability of students getting full-time jobs through internships

V. How to incorporate Second Life into a possible career

I hope that with my VCARA internship, most or all of these questions can be answered. Since I started the MLIS program, I have become much more comfortable working in an online environment instead of a physical one, because I can take my time on assignments in order to do well, and the schedule is more flexible.
