This company is a smooth running con-game. They spam the job boards with all their virtual jobs. When you see one of interest and click on the link, you are greeted with a page that requests you to set-up a free account (which necessitates giving your first name, last name, email address and password). Then after you establish your account and see the full job description and attempt to apply to it, you are greeted with a 'premium membership page' which requires you to pay $15 to apply to the position. Ridiculous con game! I cannot believe they have the presence they do on the job boards.

“Thanks - I was wondering if it was one of the scammers because they make it sound so perfect that it begs the question - what do they get out of this? So basically they take posts from the other sites & repost on VV & charge for it I guess...”

Virtual Vocations does not offer a unique product. The temptation for a job seeker is to sign up...
Hi Mark,
Thanks so much for your review of Virtual Vocations. We're sorry your experience hasn't been a smooth one. To clarify, you do not need to pay for a subscription to apply to all of the jobs on our job board.
While we do offer paid subscriptions that give our subscribers full access to our jobs database, we understand that everyone's circumstances may be different, so we offer a free membership option that allows jobseekers to view and apply to select jobs in our database for free. These jobs are randomly selected from our database, and you can apply to them right away! Those can be accessed by logging into your free Virtual Vocations account and visiting this page: https://www.virtualvocations.com/jobs/public/
Paid subscribers, on the other hand, have access ALL of the more than 22,000 current job openings on our databaseas well as a host of other subscriber benefits, including exclusive downloadable content, priority job alerts, e-courses, and more. Virtual Vocations also provides a risk-free, money-back guarantee to all of our paid subscribers.
I also want to note that the jobseekers who use our services aren't paying for jobs. Rather, they're helping pay our expert team of more than 50 experienced staff members who vet each company and screen every job posting for legitimacy. That ends up being quite a bit of work, since in 2018 alone, we reviewed more than 1 million job postings!
I hope this provides some clarification into what we do. If you have further questions, or we can help in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at customerservice(at)virtualvocations(dot)com.
Warmest regards,
Michelle Rawlings
