Why become a virtual assistant?

As a virtual assistant, you design your own work schedule around your life. Work independently from home, operate your own business, or work as a freelancer or through a virtual staffing company. Plus, with over 323,000 administrative assistant job openings projected in the coming years, now is a great time to carve your own career path within the industry.¹
