Becoming a Virtual Assistant

willliz

Hi

Does anyone work as a virtual assistant? I am interested in this idea of working from home but would rather hear from someone who is already doing it before risking signing up to something that may not be particularly legitimate!
Any advice gratefully received.

Many thanks

You are far better asking here, if people know of any scams they will surely let you know and since it is a far more focused forum on a particular subject the information will be much more geared to yourself

Tesco were advertising though the jobcentre a couple of months back here for customer advisers working from home - it may be worth contacting them.

Look on freelancer and you'll find VA jobs. They're usually pretty low paid jobs and very repetitive tasks. You're also competing with people in the philippines (where most VA's seem to be from) and they work for a lot less money.
