Virtual Assistant Definition
A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a professional service provider who specializes in providing remote administrative office support solutions as an independent contractor who works with clients in an ongoing, collaborative professional relationship.
Virtual Assistants work from their own offices and utilize today's technology to deliver their solutions and communicate with clients.
A Virtual Assistants support is foundationally administrative, secretarial and clerical in nature. However, many Virtual Assistants offer additional specialties that fall under creative and technical solutions.
Virtual Assistants come from a variety of business backgrounds, but the 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.
