Virtual Assistant

But before starting, you must know whether you are fit for this job or not. And also, what is the chance of your success if you start finding a virtual assistant job now.

Here are some harsh truths about virtual assistant jobs, especially when you are a newcomer.

  1. It is too hard to get a perfect virtual assistant job which fits your niche. There are many platforms where you can find a virtual assistant job, such as Upwork and Freelancer. But competition is very high over there. Thousand of people are applying even for a 5 dollar project.
  2. Employers only select highly skilled and professional people. If you don’t have any experience, your chance of being selected is too low.
  3. This job is best for expert people who have an exciting job portfolio and reviews. You’ll likely be selected if you are an expert in a specific field or a job holder. Your job profile is the key to success.
  4. You must have excellent communication skills, both vocally and in written form. Clients want both speaking and chatting (e.g., email) communication.
  5. Your earnings will not increase unless you have multiple clients initially. No one will pay you a significant amount when you are very new with less experience.
  6. Here is no guarantee of your job continuity. A client may discontinue you if they find another option or your work is not worth any more.
  7. Unlike other work-from-home jobs, you can’t take leave as you wish as a virtual assistant. Client satisfaction is everything for a freelancing job. You can’t make any gap between your work and your client.

Still all, a virtual assistant job can make you feel like you’re working in a natural office environment. It’s great for those who want working experience before entering a physical job.
