Starting a VA career
Virtual assistants help business owners with admin and tech. Virtual assistance benefits both employees and employers. Virtual assistants save employers time and money over full-time employees or doing the work themselves. Less-experienced virtual assistants like working from home, which is flexible.
Steps to becoming a virtual assistant:
1. Skill-check. Even with little experience, an administrative skills-focused resume will impress. Virtual assistants must organise their own tasks and time as well as their clients' calendars, schedules, and appointments.
2. Price services. Knowing your skills helps you land clients and jobs. Charge for your services. Pay is hourly, daily, weekly, or per task.
3. Equip yourself. Choosing services helps you choose equipment. Virtual assistants need headsets, landlines, printers, copiers, and scanners. Virtual assistants need internet.
4. Portfolio-building. Ask clients for feedback and build a portfolio as you gain experience. A portfolio showcases your skills to gain clients and better-paying jobs.
5. Job-hunting. To gain experience and reviews, you may need low-paying jobs. Search online or with your network for jobs.
