...assistance from a distance!What exactly is a Virtual Assistant?
-
A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a service provider who specializes in providing offsite administrative support services as an independent contractor and works with clients in an ongoing, collaborative professional relationship.
-
Virtual Assistants work from their own offices and utilize today’s technology to deliver their services and communicate with clients.
-
A Virtual Assistant’s support is foundationally administrative, secretarial or clerical in nature. However, many Virtual Assistants offer additional specialties that fall under creative and technical services.
-
Virtual Assistants come from a variety of business backgrounds, but the single-most important qualification to become a Virtual Assistant is at least five (5) years administrative experience earned in the real (non-virtual) business world working in upper level capacities such as administrative assistant, executive assistant, secretary, legal assistant, paralegal, legal secretary, real estate assistant, office manager, etc.
-
From this level of experience, a VA is expected to possess the skill sets, training and business knowledge which are the hallmark of a truly qualified Virtual Assistant.
(As stated by the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce.)
