Avatar Interview Advantage?

Job interviews help to guide the employer in their decision making during the hiring process. It is a time where interviewer and interviewee can communicate, interact, and gain a better understanding of each others skills and personality. Typically, the 'job interview' takes place that is most convenient/comfortable to both parties; however, the location is also very dependent on the job itself.
The article found at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1385 is very interesting. This article talks about a new location for the typical job interview, cyberspace. Second Life is a very powerful communication and networking system where people, in the form of their avatars, interact with one another. There was a job fair on SL where employers from different companies read resumes and interviewed many people through their avatars for real life jobs. This raises a very important question, is there an Avatar Interview Advantage?
We must first break the 'job interview' down into its main criteria and the main difference between a cyber interview and a personal interview. The main and most important difference is the communication. In normal conversation, 7% of the message is communicated by words, 38% is communicated by tone of voice, and 55% is communicated by body language. In the sense of a typical job interview, the interviewer bases 93% of his interpretation on the interviewees nonverbal communications. A job interview on SL simply cannot emulate nonverbal communication. Because this is such an important aspect of an interview, it cannot be left out and summed up in only text communication.
Having job interviews in a virtual world is a very innovated and potentially powerful hiring tool. However, it cannot be substituted for a real-life personal interview - there are simply too many unknown factors about both the interviewer and the interviewee. But, as technology and SL continue to progress, there may be sometime in the near future where cyper interviews and personal interviews will become interchangeable with one another.
