Who is a virtual assistant?

A virtual assistant is a remote worker who provides administrative or personal support services to clients while working outside of the client's physical location. Virtual assistants can perform a wide variety of tasks, including but not limited to, email management, scheduling, data entry, social media management, customer support, research, and other administrative duties.

Virtual assistants typically communicate with their clients through email, phone, or video conferencing, and may work on a project basis or on an ongoing basis as a part-time or full-time employee. Many virtual assistants work as independent contractors or freelancers, offering their services to multiple clients at once.

Virtual assistants can be a valuable asset to individuals or businesses who need support but do not have the resources or space for an in-person assistant. They can help with tasks that are time-consuming or repetitive, allowing their clients to focus on other important aspects of their work or personal life.
