So, I'm pretty new to the industry also. hint, hint - don't call it a j-j-job, LOL..just kidding I can hardley even say that word-haha.

anyways, glad your here!

Hi Angie, welcome
Kena is so right - being a VA isn't a job in any sense of the word - a virtual assistant is a business owner (which is one reason it's such a great business to pursue!)

You'll find plenty of information on the boards that will help clarify just what that means and you'll also find numerous resources that will be useful to you as you move forward with setting up a virtual assistance practice.

Looking forward to chatting with you further!

Welcome to the forums! I am new here too...maybe we can grow together! Good luck!

Yes, I love my job so much. The best thing about it is that I'm my own boss. I decide which clients I want to serve, the hours I want to work, and much more. Actually - it doesn't make it a "job" for me, but it makes me a business owner and that's a great thing. So I agree with others' comments about not seeing VA as a job.

If you offer services that you enjoy doing so - then you certainly would enjoy it!

Angie, it's so wonderful having you with us. Please make yourself at home and always feel free to participate with questions or comments as you wish.

I look foward to chatting with you further and watch your business grow!

ok..I have to apologize for my previous post, lol! I notice that I totally screwed up the spelling and grammar on this one. Since I have become a Virtual Assistant(notice:correct spelling) spelling and grammar has become very important. I feel better now

Thanks,

Hi there Angie! I am happy to meet you. I look forward to hearing more about you and how you progress in your search for a j-o-b! I hope you are considering the world of a business owner/VA and that we can help you with question/answers and resources! Nancy

I am new here too. The company I currently work for is having some financial problems, so I thought I would start pursuing other options while I still have a paycheck coming in.

Good Luck to you!
