I want to sound professional but it sounds weird writing about myself in the 3rd person. When I research it online, it gives you all kinds of different reasons for doing it either way. Should I just write it like it sounds and feels best to me or is there some etiquette in the VA world that I should/must follow? Help !!! __________________ Tanja http://www.englishgermanvs.com

I am always updating my website and am still working on putting together my new about page. I had bookmarked this page for later reference and it was the first thing that came to mind. __________________ Ruth M Callejas, Lead Consult Admin & More Taking Care Of The 'To Do' List, So You Can Take Care Of Business

Focus on the things you can offer and avoid mentioning irrelevant things for the topic and make it simple and understandable to all viewers/ visitors. Here's a link that can give you additional details in coming up with a good about us page. - Click here Good Day !
