I really appreciate the different comments regarding this topic. I have been so focused on getting certifications, because that what I have mainly seen on most VA websites. I lost focused on the skills that I have attained by taking the latest courses and continue on taking the latest courses. I really liked the idea of presenting work that I have done in the past. I definitely have plenty of that.

I need to add that I don't plan on getting certifications but right now, I want to get what I capable of doing and then the certifications will come. I know that there are certain type of clients that focus on just what type of certs you have. In time will tell what directions I will go in. I do have a Bachelors in Office Administration.

I'm waiting on getting certifications on anything until I have money coming in. I just got my AA in business management in March, and Office was one of the courses I had to take. Now that I think of it, I should probably put that on my business card too shouldn't I? Also, I completed a course through the Mike Ferry organization (24 weeks) on being an assistant. There was no certification with it though. I am contacting my old boss in Florida to see if he will email me the materials from the course and some of the items I put together for their office. I would hate to start all over again, and no way am I paying for that course. He paid, and it costs $1000!
