Publisher's Synopsis
The skills and services of a talented Virtual Assistant/PA and Executive PA are in high demand. A Virtual Assistant can work with anybody, anywhere, any time. This is a new way of working and an extremely fulfilling career. I have written this book to give you an insight into this profession and share with you some of my experiences. My aim is to give you an idea of what it is like to be a Virtual Assistant and tell you what you need to know to start up as a Virtual Assistant yourself - this includes helping you to avoid the mistakes I have made. This book can be seen as a blue print on how to start you own Virtual Assistant company/home business. I have to say, I love being a Virtual Assistant (VA), it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have the Flexibility, Diversity and work environment that I want. I work with who I want to work with and undertake the tasks I want to undertake. Don't get me wrong, it is hard work, tiring and sometimes extremely frustrating, but I wouldn't change it for anything. We are in a world of technology, and communication is the key to almost every business solution. It is now possible to talk to somebody via your computer who lives half way around the world, send files as email attachments, and even view and work on documents remotely. So who am I to tell you to become a Virtual Assistant? My name is Julie C Farmer and in 2002, I set up myPA Virtual Services, a Virtual Assistant company in United Kingdom. Having started on my own, I now employ a number of people who work with me, and we cover a range of administrative and secretarial services for a wide variety of clients.
