Can You Telecommute As A Secretary Assistant?

We wanted to touch on Telecommuting as a Secretary Assistant. The question that came up is, Can this be done? The answer is yes. There are companies that hire Secretary Assistants from home to handle some of their office duties from home. This is much like a Virtual Assistant, with the exception that you are working for a company instead of picking up your own client base. We will be talking about becoming a Virtual Assistant in this post as well.

As we mentioned in our previous posts you can most definitely check out websites that offer job listings to see if you can find a company that is hiring for a Secretary Assistant. A few places you can check are JustOnlineJobs.com, Craigslist.org, WAHM.com, and RatRaceRebelion.com. Each of these sites offer either a job listing or an area focused to Telecommuting. Which is an awesome place to start when looking for any type of Telecommuting job.

Another option, as I mentioned above is to think about starting your own business as a Virtual Assistant. You might be thinking, what is a Virtual Assistant exactly? Well let me tell you …

A Virtual Assistant (aka VA) is an independent contractor, not an employee, providing administrative assistance to their clients – usually to other independent entrepreneurs that are outsourcing their work or perhaps to small business practices. A virtual assistant will set their own rates, operating standards, pay their own taxes, and manager the work and how it is carried out.

You may wish to do a search at the above websites and see if there are any jobs available that fit your skills in the area of Secretary Assistant. If you have no luck finding a job that best fits your needs as a Telecommuter, then you may wish to look at starting your own VA Business.

If you choose to start your own business doing administrative work then you will definitely want to get involved in places where you can make some great connections with other entrepreneurs that may have a need for the services in which you plan to provide. This will help you in picking up new clients for your business.

It’s also a good idea to get involved in some type of website that offers an area of support, information and more. There are some sites that you can connect and ask questions on free forums, which can sometimes be a good thing and offer the information in which you need. But, there are times that you can receive incorrect information on forums like this simply because anyone can join for free and post to them. So just be very careful in your research on forums like this.

Also there is the option of joining a paid membership website such as, Mom Masterminds. This website allows you to not only connect with others working online but it allows you to connect with others that are serious minded business individuals that are paying for their membership as well, which gives you peace of mind knowing that these individuals are truly serious about their business and will more than likely be offering information that can be trusted. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions, find support, joint ventures and tons of resources and information at your fingertips.
