Default Re: The Dont's of Subcontracting

I am also finding this conversation very interesting. I have had the pleasure of sort of sub contracting with 2 great VA's and the displeasure of subontracting to another individual.
As a grad from Red Deer College VA Certificate program one requirement is to put in 100 hours practicum with a VA. I worked with 2 seperate VA's to acquire my 100 hours and they were fantastic.
Unfortunately, my experience as a sub contractor with another VA that I found on my own was not as pleasant. After reading everything posted here I realize that a lot of the problem was lack of communication.
If I have learned nothing else it is to ask questions of what the contractor expects of me!
