Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant is a person who helps someone else - usually a business owner or small business - with a variety of tasks from a remote location.
The use of virtual assistants in business has grown over the past several years. First, because technology improvements like high Internet speed, document sharing and the like have facilitated working remotely. Secondly, the skill sets of virtual assistants have become increasingly diverse. Today's virtual assistants not only specialize in traditional professions, such as secretarial and administrative assistant duties, they can be found in nearly any specialty area from bookkeeping to Internet marketing and more.
