The last few posts have explored different places on the Internet where you can find remote job opportunities.
While you can find helpful places on the Internet that cover the remote work industry, I have created a place on the Internet that is much better than any other place that covers the remote work industry.
I created a place on the Internet that will completely change your life.
This place on the Internet will describe the PERFECT REMOTE OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL WORK FOR ANYONE.
I call this place on the Internet the POWER PREMIUM PLATINUM PERFECT METHOD WORKSHOP.
I have been able to use my expertise in the remote work field, and I searched the far corners of this vast Internet universe to condense the information into a powerful workshop that will work for you. This workshop is a life-changing transformative experience that will completely change your life. You will gain the financial freedom you and your family deserve.
Imagine the financial freedom future that you can have included:
In summary, see the world on your terms in the way you and your family deserve to see it.
Please do not take my word for it; let’s listen to testimonials from people who took this vital workshop and see how their lives changed.
Let’s hear from Fake, Fictitious Friends:
I struggled with money; I had difficulty paying the bills
Then I heard about the POWER PREMIUM PLATINUM PERFECT METHOD WORKSHOP
I decided to attend the workshop, and my entire life changed.
I now could lead a life that my family and I deserve.
Now we do not worry about our financial futures.
We take vacations when we want, eat at fancy restaurants where we want, and explore the world on our terms.
I had difficulty with financial issues, but then I had a transformative experience going to the POWER PREMIUM PLATINUM PERFECT METHOD WORKSHOP.
The workshop completely changed my life.
I gained complete financial freedom; now, I live the life I decided to lead.
The power of your financial future is in your hands; take the POWER PREMIUM PLATINUM PERFECT METHOD WORKSHOP, and never worry about finance again.
You can take advantage of this transformative opportunity by contributing a small fee to my bank account of a few thousand dollars.
You can also help me grow tremendously rich while you buy this worthless workshop. Make me rich, you fools!!
When you read about remote work opportunities, you need to evaluate them.
A common saying goes something like this:
Here are some resources to evaluate remote work scams.
It has a website called “Job Scams.”
https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams
Flexjobs is a website that focuses on remote job opportunities.
Flexjobs has articles about the remote career field, including:
You can use Google (or another search engine) to research an organization.
You can search using the organization’s name and words like “scam” or “ratings.”
The Better Business Bureau will rate organizations
You can sometimes learn more about an organization by checking the Better Business Bureau ratings:
Better Business article about scams
Article title: BBB Study: Looking for a job? Be careful! Job scams increased during the pandemic
https://www.bbb.org/article/investigations/24596-bbb-investigation-job-scams
On this same web page with the article, you can download a PDF called “BBB Job Scams.”
The link is “Read the full study. Download the PDF.”
https://www.bbb.org/content/dam/0734-st-louis/job-scams/JOB%20SCAMS%20STUDY%20v5.pdf
Better Business Bureau has a scam center to look for known scams:

As you explore remote opportunities, please evaluate each opportunity to see if that opportunity would work for you.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving (for those in the United States).
I am celebrating Thanksgiving; I will create a new post for next week.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone.
This week we are looking at Internet Resources that can be helpful for someone looking for remote work opportunities. We are going to focus on Remote job positions.
We look at Google
This week I like to focus on a common feature on the Internet–Google
Google is a typical search engine that many people will use to find information.
Use Google to Search for Remote Job Positions
You can use Google to search for a variety of different information.
You can also use Google to search for remote job positions.
What you Can Type into Google
You can go to Google (www.google.com)
You can type in a search that has:
Then start the search.
Google (Hopefully) shows Remote Job Positions
Hopefully, Google will present you with a list of remote job positions.
Google will also (hopefully) find a list of websites that may also help you in your remote job search journey.
Google will often present the list of job positions towards the beginning of the search results.
The list of job positions will often be ahead of suggestions of other websites one could look at.
For example, I am interested in finding remote training positions.
I could type in the phrase “Training jobs remote.”
I would then (hopefully) find a list of remote trainer job positions.
I also hope to find a list of websites that may help me find a remote trainer’s job position.
Synonyms
Synonyms are words that are similar in meaning to other words.
You can use the magic of synonyms to give you additional words to find a remote job position in your field.
Often, a career field may have different words to describe itself.
For example, a trainer can also be a “teacher or instructor.”
You can use synonyms to expand the list of words to search for a remote job position in your field.
How do I find synonyms for my career?
You can use Google to help you find synonyms for your career field.
You can type in the profession you are interested in and then type “synonyms.”
For example, I am interested in finding a remote trainer job position.
I want to find additional words to describe the trainer
I can type in a word phrase of “trainer synonyms” and then search.
You will then get other words that will describe the trainer.
In conclusion
You can use Google to help find remote job positions. You may find other Internet resources in the search results to help you in your remote job search journey.
This week we continue looking at websites that focus on remote job positions.
The one change we are making is not looking at websites with the word “Remote” in them.
We are going to look at VirtualVocations.com. I plan to refer to this website by the name of VirtualVocations. This website focuses on helping people find Remote job positions.
The main focus of VirtualVocations is providing the remote jobseeker access to remote job positions.
VirtualVocations has many services accessed only through a subscription-based service. You will need to evaluate your needs to see if the subscription-based service works for you.
The website focuses on helping remote job seekers find remote job openings.
The website mentioned researchers from VirtualVocations evaluate and select remote job positions that appear on the VirtualVocations website.
You do need to be a subscriber to access job positions. You need to be a subscriber to access the job description details.
You can search for job positions in two ways.
You can use a keyword search to find job positions.
Keyword Search has an Advance Keyword search feature to give you more options to search for job positions.
You can browse by job positions by clicking on a browsing category at the bottom part of the screen.
You will get a list of job choices by a keyword search or by clicking a browsing category. You can click the job choice to get a more detailed job description.
You can access information on different remote-friendly companies using the “Companies” link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
You can search for Remote Friendly companies by browsing by categories.
You click a category and get a list of choices of remote-friendly companies.
You can get more details on a company by selecting a company choice. A detailed company description will then appear.
The company description will also list the company website.
You can get access to the Friendly Remote Company information without a subscription.
Under the “Career Center” link in the screen’s upper right-hand corner, you can find remote work career information.
The career content is organized into the following sections
For each section, you will see a few items in that section on the Career Content screen.
To see all the items of a particular section, you can click the “View All” link on the right side of that section. So, for example, if you want to see all the courses on VirtualVocations, click the “View All” link in the Courses Section.
One section that could be helpful is the Guides Section.
The Guides section gives you information for specific industries;
Some of the guides were:
You will need a subscription to be able to access these guides.
(Some guides are available if you use the free subscription option by getting registered).
You can also gain access to career experts who can help you with your job search.
You can access remote career experts by clicking the “Blog” link in the right-hand corner.
You will then see a link called “Career Services” in the right-hand corner of the screen.
Career experts can help you with career services like a cover letter, resume, and LinkedIn Profile.
You can access career services for an additional fee.
You can access remote career content on the VirtualVocations Blog. You can click the ” Blog ” link in the screen’s upper right-hand corner. You will then find different articles related to the remote work industry.
One article feature is the “2022 Employer Partner Remote Job Openings.” The article gives information on VirtualVocations remote employers hiring for that month. For example, you can learn about the VirtualVocations remote employers for November by reading the “November 2022 Employer Partner Remote Job openings” article (published on November 9, 2022).
I like VirtualVocations.com. You can gain access to job positions, career content, and career experts.
The one disadvantage is you must pay a subscription fee to access much of the information from this website. The rates were about $16 per month, $40 for three months, and $60 for six months.
One suggestion may be to pay for one month and see if the website works for you. You will want to cancel the subscription service before the month is completed if you decide the subscription service does not work for you.
You can also do a free subscription, giving you access to some resources.
VirtulaVocations.com reminds me of another website that focuses on remote job seekers. The other website is called Flexjobs.com. Some of the similarities between the two websites are:
If you like Flexjobs.com, you may also like VirtualVocaitions.com. Good luck with everyone’s remote job search journey.
We continue looking at websites with the word “Remote” in them.
This week we focus on Remote Nurse at https://www.remotemedicaljobs.com/
This website lists remote medical job positions in a particular niche in the areas of Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants.
The website includes paid features–please evaluate the service ahead of time to see if that service works for you and your needs.
(1) Remote Medical Job Position Listings (Main Function)
The Remote Nurse at https://www.remotemedicaljobs.com/ defines itself on the introductory home page as “Connecting Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants to Remote Clinical Jobs.”
You can search for job positions by Browse by categories and keyword search.
You can access job positions by browsing by category.
There are four different browsing categories at the bottom of the website.
The four categories are the following–all include the number of job positions in that category.
You can click on a category and then you get a listing of job choices.
You can click a job choice to get a more detailed job description.
Once you enter a particular category, you will get an additional option to search for jobs by Keyword Search.
The Keyword Search has the following features:
People can pay for the Remote Nurse Membership
Remote Nurse membership benefits include the following:
The cost is about $20 a month

The website connects to another website that describes itself as having services to create a specialized resume for those seeking a remote medical job.
The other website is https://www.theresumerx.com/.
Have services like having to create your resume and workshops.
Have Two Facebook Page Groups

In conclusion, I think The Remote Nurse has resources that can serve its niche well–those in the nursing, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant looking for a remote job. People looking for a remote position in nursing, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant may find this a helpful website.
This week, we look at websites that list remote job positions with “remote” in their website name. We are going to look at Remote.io
When finding job positions anywhere on the Internet, please evaluate the job positions to help avoid job scams. Information on job scams at the Consumer Trade Commission at:
https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams
Remote.io features include
Keyword Search
You can type in keywords you want to find in a job position.
Then hopefully, you will get a listing of job positions containing the keywords (or keywords) you typed in.
You then can select a job position from the job search list to get more details about from the Federal Trade Commission Job Scams – https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams
Browsing Category
You can also find job positions by category.
If you scroll to the bottom of the website, you will see a listing of different categories.
Here is the number of job positions for each category when I searched on Remote.io
Here are some conclusions I have from searching for job positions by browsing categories:
The descriptions of the job positions I saw will give details about what the job does, the requirements, and the skills also needed to complete the job effectively.
The jobs descriptions will have features like
Other features
Some other features listed.
What I liked about Remote.io and did not like about Remote.io
Here is what I liked about Remote.io
Remote.io makes very clear what the intention of their website happens to be; it is a website that lists remote job positions, and this is the major function of the website.
(This is my guess). Job positions may be less competitive than those on larger job board sites. Fewer people may visit Remote.io than larger job board sites.
What I did not like about Remote.io
In Conclusion
I think Remote.io is worth your time.
Remote.io clarifies what the Remote.io website is designed to do; Remote.io lists remote job positions.
You can quickly come to the website and find out if Remote.io has job positions you want. If you find a job of interest, your job search may be over. If you do not find a job position of interest, you can check Remote.io at a later time to see what opportunities may exist in the future.
Remote.io may be able to help you in your job search by looking at what opportunities may be available.
(Note: This is Remote.com is not Remote.co – Remote.co was described in an earlier post on October 18, 2022)
Remote.com may be helpful for those with a remote business looking to hire remotely. Job seekers may also gain looking at Remote.com by learning more about the Remote work industry.
Remote.com focus on helping companies who want to hire remote talent. Remote.com gives companies the ability to hire people outside their home countries.
Here are some resources on Remote.com that may be of interest
(Found on pages 16–18 in the guide) (Do need to provide your email to get access to the guide)
Remote.com helps organizations find their remote talent across the world. Job-Seekers may gain information from the Remote work industry, but the website does not focus on Remote job seekers.
