I have been so excited today. I know, it's going to sound really pathetic when I tell you why I'm in this highly emotional state. What it boils down to is that I am new to blogging, and have set goals for myself to post a blog once a month. Not too bad . . . for those who are super bloggers and are really good at it. But there are some of us who, well, need to work on our skills -- which is most definitely a very good thing. We all need to improve, or we will never keep up with the times!

But back to my reason for the high elation! I think I've come up with a great blog topic!

I recently came upon a post that asked what to include in a VA's resume. And I really loved this topic because I can see that there will be tons of different ideas and opinions as to "should I? or shouldn't I?" I was thinking it would be beneficial to take a small poll or receive opinions from VAs -- to just get a feel for the mass majority's opinion, making my blog very credible.

My poll question: "Should a VA, as a business owner, keep an updated resume and share it with a potential client should the client ask for one?"

It was my opinion that a resume (or a summary of qualifications -- which is a great term) would most definitely be beneficial to a client who is wanting to see your qualifications, experiences, and past work history. In my opinion, it doesn't reflect that "I want you to hire me," or "I'm applying for a job" type thing. I consider my resume to be a summary of what I can offer to a client who is looking to partner with me. I also believe a well-written, up-to-date resume can add to a business owner's credibility and professionalism, in addition to a well-executed business plan. (Am I too rigorous?)

I would so love to receive opinions on this. I think it will make a great blog (and I may be wrong, since I don't know much about blogging). I plan on publishing this in mid-February, which gives me plenty of time to compile information. Thank you, everybody, and on to blogging .
