Zirtual Assistants Review

As a Zirtual Assistant, you will have to go through a lengthy application process. If hired you will be assigned to clients. As most people needing VAs, most are just too busy and looking for help with easy tasks that are time-consuming.

From what I can tell tasks include scheduling appointments, answering emails, and gathering information. It really all depends on the client’s needs.

Zirtual Application Process

The Zirtual Application Process is pretty long. You can start by visiting their application here. One thing to mention is that they hire other positions as well, but most positions are VA and they do want you to be located in a certain area of the US.

During the application, you will be asked the general personal information questions along with some generic face to face interview questions like why should we hire you. Luckily for you, you can come up with an answer beforehand and won’t be put on the spot.

If they are interested you will be required to do a virtual interview. From what I’ve heard you will be required to create a short video just talking about yourself. If they like what they see they will get back with you and you will move onto the next step of the process.

The 2nd step of the process is a skills test. It looks like it’s pretty easy to pass and will test you on things like computer usage, communication, and social media.

If all goes well you will be contacted and hired. From what I’ve seen they will let you know either way if you’re hired.

Zirtual Assistant Salary

Zirtual does not come out and say how much their assistants will be paid, but I did find a little bit of information in the forums.

From what I can see pay ranges from $12-$15 an hour. No information on how they pay, but most likely by PayPal or Direct Deposit.

Your Salary will depend on how many hours you work of course, but they do pay for time off and on some holidays.

Zirtual Complaints & Concerns

Tons of Work

This is coming from people hired by Zirtual in the past, there have been complaints of having too much to handle. Of course, this brings up the complaint of pay not being good enough as well.

But some members have said that they just don’t have enough time and too much work to complete in a 40 hour work week.

Which sometimes can look like you’re performing poorly.

Full Time 

If you do get hired by Zirtual, it’s going to be a full-time job. At this point in time, they are only looking for full-time VAs that are available 8 hours a day within your clients time zone.

This may be what you’re looking for, but a lot of people are looking for a flexible schedule when they look for a work from home job.

Zirtual isn’t going to be flexible.

Application

I’m really glad to hear that they contact you either way when you apply for the job letting you know yes or no. But I found a few complaints where people thought they basically had the job wrapped up. The interview was great and they did well on the skills test.

Only to find out a week later that they did not get the job.

Work From Home Jobs are extremely competitive so I completely understand why, but you may want to keep in mind that just because you did great doesn’t mean you will get the job.

Is Zirtual A Scam Or Legit?

Although I found some complaints about Zirtual I have to say it’s a completely legit work from home job. They do pay their members and if you can get accepted most members seem to be pretty happy.

It kinda sucks that the hours are not more flexible, and I couldn’t find information on how they pay, but I still feel like this would be a good job if it’s what you’re looking for.
