Virtual Assistant Program.

Firstly, what is a Virtual Assistant and is it something you could do?

Courtesy of Wiki - "A Virtual Assistant (typically abbreviated to VA, also called a virtual office assistant) is an entrepreneur who provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients from a home office. With a full range of options to choose from, you can customize your remote receptionist service to meet your exact needs. They usually work for other small businesses, brokers and consultancy groups. It is estimated that there are as few as 5,000-8,000 or as many as 35,000 Virtual Assistants worldwide; the profession is growing in centralized economies with "fly-in, fly-out" (FIFO) staffing practices."

So basically you'd be providing some form of support service to an existing business from your home. The type of support would be something that you would negotiate directly with the work provider, you'd need to be satisfied that the scope of work matches your skill level before entering into an agreement with them.

Typically, Virtual Office Assistants provide a range of services including one or more of the following -

• Customer service via email / phone / support desk
• Email management
• Answering general phone inquiries and call routing
• Order entry
• Telephone order entry
• Data entry into spreadsheets
• Marketing support
• Appointment setting

etc.
