Virtual assistants are becoming more and more used by individuals and businesses across the globe.  Even in the current economic climate I have seen an upturn in clients requesting assistance with simple secretarial tasks through to more complexed rebranding and social media projects.

Furthermore, with the summer holidays approaching many businesses often wonder how they will deal with their time away from the office as they may not have sufficient cover in place to provide a back up whilst they take a well earned break.  This is where a virtual assistant, virtual secretary or virtual PA comes into their own.  Unlike many employment or temping agencies the majority of virtual secretaries and assistants will work on a completely flexible basis providing as much or as little cover as the business requires and because they work from home often have less distractions and can achieve in 4 hours what many employees or temporary staff achieve in 6 or 8.

A virtual assistant can cover a multitude of duties including: responding to emails, appointment management, telephone queries and various routine business requests.  In a nutshell, you can use a Virtual Assistant in the same way you would use any secretary or Personal Assistant. You’ll find what she can’t do is make your coffee and do your filing – unless she lives nearby and is happy to travel and do this for you!
