Become a Virtual AssistantFirst let me make it clear that IB Secretarial Services is NOT hiring Virtual Assistants. If you are new to the business, you will find that each VA is nearly always a sole proprietor of his/her business. I am happy to pass on enquiries which I can't handle to fellow VAs who are already in business and whom I know already, but I am not an agency. Each Virtual Assistant must make their own way as a self employed independent contractor. So, sending me your CV and asking for any jobs is NOT going to result in any work! Starting a secretarial services business is not a quick route to riches. Far from it! You must be absolutely certain that being self employed will suit you, both your personality and your income expectations. It takes a lot of effort, skill, persistence and time to launch a business like this and to make it successful. There are no short cuts, no magic solutions and for every successful business, there must be dozens that don't make it past the first year. It may sound brutal but it's not just a matter of having a PC at home and thinking you'd like to become a VA. You must be prepared to become a businesswoman or businessman first and foremost. There is no substitute for
doing research into the viability of your business, both on the web and
locally. You will come across a number of sites which offer assistance
and resources to Virtual Assistants.
