    How to Work with a Virtual Assistant
    When someone asks me what I do, and I tell them I am a Virtual Assistant, I am bombarded with questions. What is a Virtual Assistant? Who uses a Virtual Assistant? How much do they charge? How can they complete my work without being in my office? How is a Virtual Assistant more beneficial than someone in my office? How do I know that I can trust the hours they charge and that they won’t share my personal information?
    Seven initial steps toward a long-distance job search:

    1. Select the geographical area and the destination city in which you want to live.

    Twenty ways to identify potential employers and opportunities:

    1. Contact the Chamber of Commerce in the destination city for a list of employers.
