On D-Day, they will be greeted by the avatars of the recruitment executives for a confidential conversation lasting about ten minutes. A manager from the IT department will also be on hand to talk with the applicants.
The interviews will take place in the recruitment area of BNP Paribas on Second Life in two 3-hour sessions on 26 June from 4.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. and on 28 June from 5.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m.
On a wider level, the new BNP Paribas platform, which will open in the next few days, will offer games and educational spaces, designed to evolve over time, one devoted to tennis, the other to chess under a partnership arrangement with the French Chess Federation.

Created by its teams working in collaboration, it is expanding and includes an information zone, an auditorium for events as well as an area devoted to l'Atelier in the USA and Asia.
