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.)
