Has anyone used the job listing platform called Virtual Vocations (www.virtualvocations.com) . I know that finding *legit* remote jobs online is hard. Lots of scams to sift through.

Virtual Vocations and Flex Jobs are examples of platforms that promote access to legitimate jobs...but of course its gonna cost me. I would guess that this is par for the course since Im so apt to look for remote jobs (rather than in-person).

Bit of a content warning that I'm about to share some #LLM-generated slop. Just two short bits, to make a point.

I made an #OpenToWork post on #LinkedIn today partly as an experiment, and as before was immediately inundated with HR bots. I spent a few minutes from time to time stringing one along, out of curiosity. One way I know it's a bot is that no human recruiter would stick with me for that long a duration given the nonsense I was entering. Anyway, at one point it emitted that there was a job it was "recruiting" for, titled "Generative AI & LLM Remediation Consultant | United States (Remote/Onsite)" at a company named "Independent Consultant (Contract Role)". It's fairly clear to me that the bot was tasked with constructing fake job listings based off information people share. I can only guess what its actual purpose is.

Hah!

I followed up with a business who had been hosting a hidden phishing job scam portal and confirmed they have had (at least the scam index page) REMOVED. Small wins are nice. :ablobcatrave:
