“Virtual work” implies individuals work from home offices using modern technology to get things done. Both traditional, office-based companies, and virtual companies—such as FlexJobs—hire individuals to work 100 percent of the time from home using the Internet. Employers tend to use this term frequently when looking for home-based workers.
A virtual job is a 100 percent telecommuting job. These jobs are often seen with titles such as virtual teacher, virtual administrative assistant, or virtual salesperson.
