[collaborative-vr] VR career advice

[Doreva Belfiore]

Pennsylvania Chat With a Librarian started a part-time hourly-paid 
remote-working position for virtual reference this year, but currently 
does not have a full-time position.

Perhaps the Special Libraries Association might have some good ideas - 
there may be remote-working positions for virtual reference/knowledge 
management in special libraries.
