The Demand for Virtual Assistants
Since the beginning of the commencement of the Information
Superhighway; in the early 90's we have seen a steady
improvement in new technological advancement making
things like the Virtual Assistant possible. As the reliance on
technology continues to expand in offices across the Nation,
the role of the office professional has greatly evolved. Which
leads me to my next subject.

What is a Virtual Assistant?
Like the majority of their clients, virtual assistants are
entrepreneurs-- highly skilled in their profession and able to
have an impact on the productivity of those they work with.
Traditionally, they have been known by many names:
secretaries, administrative assistants, executive assistants,
or bookkeepers, and until now it has been difficult to market
their expertise outside of the corporate environment. But in an
age where technology has made the world a much smaller
place, and where more professionals are working from their
homes or in satellite offices, the former; has become virtual --
and thanks to the Internet-- global!
Business & Professions that utilize VA's
Virtual Assistants may be hired by a wide range of clients--
Consultants, Lawyers, Import-Export businesses, Real Estate
Agents, Human Resource Managers dealing with work
overflow, Non-Profit Organizations and small businesses
seeking to expand while maintaining flexibility and keeping
overhead low. The increasing numbers of small businesses
in the U.S. And abroad are affording administrative support
experts with an entrepreneurial spirit, opportunities that have
never before been possible.
Why Choose a Virtual Assistant?
Business owners are beginning to realize the Virtual
Assistant/SOHO(Small Office/Home Office) relationship is a
win-win in the truest sense. Without having to hire staff,
bring in extra equipment, or share their space, the need so
that they can concentrate on growing their business and the
VA (also a SOHO) has an opportunity to stretch their
entrepreneurial wings as CEO of their own company. Work
assignments are communicated through e-mail, phone, fax,
mail, diskette transfer, and real-time online messaging. The
services offered by Virtual Assistants vary from one
individual to the next, based on their area of expertise. In
addition to administrative support (word processing,
scheduling, telephone service, etc.), many Virtual Assistants
offer other, more specialized skills-- competitive research,
Web site design, legal research, accounting, bookkeeping
services, marketing support, translation, technical writing,
etc. Virtual Assistants are becoming the de facto growth
partners of SOHOs all over the world-- offering the SOHO

support responsibilities at the click of an e-mail icon.
