Finding the RIGHT Virtual Assistant for YOU
How To Find A Virtual Assistant
When you are thinking about hiring a Virtual Assistant,
one of the things that you should remember is that you
shouldn’t go with the first Virtual Assistant that you interview.
The person is going to be an employee of yours, in a sense,
and you conduct several interviews when you are looking to fill a position.
Hiring a Virtual Assistant is no different.
When you are looking for a Virtual Assistant, instead of just going to the phone book
or a search engine on the web, the first thing that you should do is to talk to others
that you have known that have used Virtual Assistants.
Find out what their experiences were with their Virtual Assistants
and if they were satisfied with what they did for them.
You can find some of MY testimonials here.
Before you conduct your interview with your Virtual Assistant,
figure out what it is that you are looking for.
What is it that you will want your Virtual Assistant
to accomplish?
Do you want the company to run more efficiently?
Do you want your company to make more money?
Knowing what it is that you want to accomplish will help the Virtual Assistants
that you interview know what type of direction you are going in.
Even if your first interview goes well, keep the appointments
that you have made and talk to the other Virtual Assistants.
You may find someone that you like better, or someone
that has the same vision for your company that you do.
After you have had all of the appointments, you can make your choice.
You WILL find the Virtual Assistant who is the perfect fit for YOU and YOUR business!
Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing, proofreading
and transcription assignments along with research, blog posts, article submissions
and social media maintenance!

Hiring a virtual assistant does presenta lot of advantages from lessening the overhead and logistical cost to minimizing the day-to-day operations of a business. However, I do agree that you need to have an idea on what kind of VA you need to fit your needs.

thanks for the comments. It can be frustrating, at times, to find a good fit between client and Virtual Assistant. I am pretty easy to work with but have NOT fit with all former or potential clients and it is good to find the perfect balance and as most of mine ARE, I know it is possible.
