How to find a Virtual Assistant

The obvious answer is 'on the Internet'! But where?

Not wishing to teach my grandmother to suck eggs.......by using the keywords 'Virtual Assistant' a whole host of websites appear, so how do you choose? There are several websites which have lists of Virtual Assistants who have been checked out and are therefore bona fide people to use. Three of these websites have links on my website. They are 'Free Index', 'Society of Virtual Assistants' and 'UK Association of Virtual Assistants'. There are many more. Also, all Virtual Assistants have their own websites so you can look at these. It can be a little daunting, but is less time consuming than the recruiting process used by employers today.

Most Virtual Assistants will supply references which helps reassure employers. This is no more complicated than employing a temp and less hassle!

Work can be sent through in a variety of ways depending on what is needed. There are sites on the Internet which specialise in this and also guarantee privacy and confidentiality.

So to finish, it is really easy to get a Virtual Assistant once you have done the research. And when you have found one that suits your business needs they can be used as often as required.
