10 Websites to Find Virtual Assistant Jobs

Virtual assistant jobs

With 67% of business owners hiring at least one Virtual Assistant in 2021, there’s never been a better time to look for virtual assistant jobs. This varied and interesting career has been rising in popularity for several years, but it really took off over the pandemic when companies were forced to embrace the idea of remote working – and realized the benefits. 

So, where can you find virtual assistant jobs?

What is a VA?

The role of a virtual assistant is varied, so before you go looking for roles it’s useful to understand what they might entail. 

What you can offer to your clients will depend on your own skillset, of course, but here are some of the tasks that VAs perform for their clients:

  • Taking phone calls
  • Answering emails
  • Making appointments
  • Cold-calling potential customers
  • Researching online
  • Creating presentations
  • Copywriting
  • Social media posts
  • Administrative tasks

Of course, these are just the typical tasks, and what you are asked to do will vary depending on who you work for – According to A Virtual, some VA had received weird requests such as requisitioning an Uber for a kitty or fixing a water leak virtually! 

Who can be a VA?

There are no particular skills required to be a VA, but most have experience in administration and social media and have good written and verbal language skills. 

To work as a VA, you really just need a laptop, an internet connection, and a can-do attitude. You can even reach out to others for help and support through a free virtual assistant website like these Facebook groups.
