Re: Thinking of entering the VA world

Can anyone give me any credible sites to check out and offer places where I might find work? I have over 12 years experience in admin work in a variety of fields (technology, food, financial).

Thanks so much!
Tess provided some very good links to review! Let people get to know you! That is how I met some of the best VAs that I work with now! When you start out, be absolutely sure you can do the job, commit to it, and turn the job around at the expectations that are set. Believe it or not, I gave two, not just one new VA a chance to work on a project and they both fell off the face of the earth. I ended up losing the project, not the client thankfully! But the point is to set your self apart from the pack and deliver results! You just never know who may be watching!
