So you have gone through all the training, all the work, now the hard part.
Now it may seem a bit overwhelming deciding where to work, and who to work for, it really is a lot simpler that it seems.
The great thing about this job is that you choose your boss, you get to pick what company you work for.
Where Can I Find A Job At? There are many websites that serve as a waiting pool basically.
You fill out an application or resume and upload it to the website, then a business owner can browse the site and pick out anyone she/he wants.
There are also those businesses that directly allow people to apply for position s from their website, this way the communication is between 2 people directly.
For the most part though you will have to join a site that allows businesses to pick and choose they virtual assistants they want.
What Will Be My Job Responsibilities? As you may have learned with your training, in a real virtual assistant job situation you will be asked to do a variety of things.
With a well established business you may be expected to have the same tasks as that of a secretary on top of things like project management.
In short you may be asked to do anything from accounting to sales, to even web design.
What Are The Drawbacks And Benefits Of Being A Virtual Assistant? Well for starters you will never come face to face with your employer, you never even have to see them, just communicate through the phone and the internet.
The advantages for a business however can actually be your disadvantages though.
A business does not have to pay taxes for your services, no paperwork, no office materials are purchased.
Now this means you pay for all your materials unless stated in the project, you only get paid for jobs you have completed, and you will also not receive such benefits like health insurance and things of the likes.
You may also be asked to work holidays and weekends as a result of a project that needs to be done.
