You’ve heard about Virtual Assistants…
…but have you ever looked into become a VA yourself?
Have you ever wondered what the hype around working remotely is all about?
Have you ever considered it as a career option?
This webinar will explain how you can translate your years of corporate knowledge and executive assistant experience into your own virtual business or remote employment, providing a highly sought after, executive-level service.
We’ve been hiring virtual assistants for years, and we’ve identified a real demand for local, high-level executive assistant support… remotely.
When you find yourself wondering if there is another way to ???, a better way, you know it’s time to learn about your options.
It’s easier than you think to escape the rat race and move beyond the 9 to 5 grind!
Your 12-hour days are over ( if you want them to be! ).
- YOU CAN be there for the important moments;
- YOU CAN leave behind the long commutes; and
- YOU CAN stop wanting to be in two places at the same time.
Working remotely is an attractive way to achieve work/life balance without compromising your career, your income or your family time.
This webinar is not all cafes and Instagram.
We keep it real, showing you the joys and the pitfalls of working connectedly in a dis-connected environment.
