Basic Skills of a Virtual Asisstant

Many of my friends were asking me how to start working as a Virtual Assistant. They were very curious about what am I doing? Here in the Philippines, once you said that you're working online - one thing that enters the mind of Filipinos: chatting with foreigners and  online dating.  I feel so sad for that level of thinking. They missed the many opportunities of working online. For those whose, their mind was open to start their career online. Here are the Basic skills of a Virtual Assistant

1. Can work on their own

Working online seems like you have your own world. Some will tag you as: "May sariling mundo". Unless you will be working as a team, which is not that a frequent case. Mostly you will work on your own.

2. Reliable

You must be very reliable anytime and anywhere. The only key that you're client knows that you're still there is to answer quickly on their messages. Even though you didn't finish yet the task , you must explain or answer them.

3. Time Management / Multi-tasking

Being a Virtual Assistant, especially for moms, juggling between working online and taking care of your family is very tough. You must have a to-do list every day. You must know what's on your topmost list to do.

4. Procrastination

For me, this is a Big word. It's hard to battle procrastination. Whenever there's something you need to do. Do it now! Even if the deadline is still far.

5. Technical Skills

Technical skills like Typing, Data Entry, Searching, etc. I will talk more of these skills on my next blog.

If you notice some will say the Basic skills of a Virtual Assistant are more of Technical but for me, the most important skills to hone are the Attitude skills. One must have the Passion for working online. And the all the rest will smoothly follow.
