I've been in the administrative field for many years and decided to give virtual assisting a try. I got my first client yesterday and I'm pretty nervous which is odd since I have been doing this for so long. I hope that I can meet some new people who can help me along. I look forward to this new adventure! Have a great day! ~Sherry

I decided a few months ago to become a VA. I posted an ad on Craigslist and didn't expect an answer. I was surprised when my client contacted me. We discussed future projects if we are both satisfied with the first one. I'm excited about this new opportunity! __________________ Sherry Billings
