I want to know whether this is possible? or whether its a no go zone?

I mean these employers are looking for administration people? Why not email them advise them of your service and how it can save them money?

Advice?

I think it is an option and have tried it once so far. What I ran into was that the owner was not clear on virtual meant -- he responded to me twice and both my replies were very specific that I could not work at his location (distance). Apparently, my last reply was understood and he has not responded to any of my follow-up contacts since.

But I will continue to try -- I am now looking especially to those looking for part-time assistants -- the value may be a little harder to show since P/T does not usually include benefits, vacation, etc but I think they may be more receptive.

Absolutely, sure, why not? Make sure what they're asking for can be provided virtually.

Actually the value is pretty simple to show - instead of paying someone a flat (example) 10 hours/week, whether or not they have work to do, you only bill for the actual time you work and NOT to just sit around waiting for assignments, or chatting over the water cooler, etc.
