I'm currently at home as had maternity leave then covid hit.
I have over 20 years of experience working in an office. Doing everything including imports and exports, banking and bookkeeping.
Is it worthwhile to become a virtual assistant?

There is a lot of information on line but would like to hear first hand from someone that is actually doing it.
Would love to hear pros and cons. Thanks so much!

Thanks, you're so kind!
I'm wondering how much I would be able to charge per hour approx.
Is it very low? Or since I do have lots of experience I can charge accordingly.
I guess I would need a resume. Is the market flooded?
How do you go about finding a job?
I appreciate your help!

Depends what country you are from. Pay can vary between $12 to $25 an hour

Often you will only be paid for hours you work.

You generally first need the in office experience. Ppl don’t like newbies that need tons of training remotely

I'm looking for a personal VA with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Any leads for a personal VA (in the USA only) ?

I'm estimating 1-3 hours a week, to start.
Mostly phone calls, emails, and light computer work of random tasks.

I would check out Fiver and see what rates/experience people are posting there. Also create an account on LinkedIn with your title, connect with people, and see if you can network through that. Nowadays a lot of jobs are remote anyway, so it’s a good time to start.
