Okay all you VAs here is the question for today: What is your typical assignment? In other words what are you asked to do the most? What are businesses contracting you do for them? Oh, and I have to ask what the most unusual request was. It is Sunday and I am in the ask questions mode. Thanks, Diana

No such thing as a 'typical assignment' except for bookkeeping tasks. Other than those, my assignments are all over the board! __________________ Lily Chambers, The Virtual Office Goddess, LLC Author "How to Do Your Own Small Business Bookkeeping"

I haven't been at this long enough to have a typical assignment but my niche is project site research and (now) a monthly newsletter for an industry association chapter.

The usual: calendar management, transcription, internet research. The unusual: calling contractors to set up roofing estimates for a home in another state that I've never even seen (they kept talking to me as if I was the guy's wife) __________________ Kathy www.theofficevirtuoso.com

Invoicing and related bookkeeping tasks. Nothing unusual yet. But, I'm having dinner with an attorney friend this week and will be able to do some serious networking.

I have been asked to do a lot of transcribing and databases. Seems like when a client want a hourly job done it's usually transcribing or internet researching. __________________ Angela Rogers Administrative Business Solutions
