QUALIFIEDTo Be A
VIRTUALASSISTANT
Becoming a great and competent virtual assistant is
NOT EASY.
You must always be able to
ADJUST to your client’s needs.
You cannot give your clients
UNSATISFACTORY assistance.
When this happens, not only will your
REPUTATION as a virtual assistant be tarnished,
but could also HURT your client’s business.
Regardless of the job, every virtual assistant
SHOULD:
BE ABLE TO USE A
COMPUTER AND THE
INTERNET
This is a NO-BRAINER.
Since
COMMUNICATION with your
client takes place through the
Internet,
knowledge of using computers is a
definite REQUIREMENT.
BE ABLE TO TYPE AND USE A
WORD PROCESSOR
Virtual assistants, no matter what the
SPECIALTY, should be able to type.
Since nearly all businesses who
hire virtual assistants require
DOCUMENTATION for every task a virtual
assistant does,
TYPING SKILLS are required to be successful.
For transcription virtual assistants, they should be able
to type fast – at least 80 WPM
(Words Per Minute)
BE ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WELL
A good virtual assistant has to be
able to COMMUNICATE well.
Remember that communication is a
TWO-WAYprocess
Not only must a virtual assistant know how to
communicate his THOUGHTS,
but should also
LISTEN and UNDERSTAND what his client says.
BE ABLE
TO WRITE WELL
TYPING and WRITING are two different things.
Writing requires a CREATIVE MIND to compose good articles and letters.
Every virtual assistant should learn how to
WRITE EFFICIENTLY,
with CORRECT GRAMMAR usage,
and be able to communicate
CLEARLY and EFFECTIVELY.
BE
ORGANIZED
Clients do not want
SLOPPY, DISORGANIZED
outputs.
A virtual assistant should be able to
ORGANIZE himself not only for the client’s
sake but also for himself.
Virtual assistants usually have
MULTIPLE TASKS assigned to them
and they should be able to
SCHEDULE these tasks correctly so that they would not get confused.
POSSESS A GREAT
PERSONALITY
Virtual assistants should
LOVE what they are doing.
If you are a MOTIVATED and
DISCIPLINED individual
then becoming a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT would help you develop those qualities
even more.
Regardless of your job,
oftentimes the ones with the
Best Personalities
are the ones who become SUCCESSFUL in
the end.
Being a virtual
assistant is
NOT AN EASY JOB;
that is why you should make sure you possess these QUALIFICATIONS to succeed in
the said occupation.
