Virtual assistance (or VA) is the professional service of remote administrative office support by an independent contractor called a Virtual Assistant who works with clients in an ongoing, collaborative professional relationship. Virtual assistants work from their own offices and utilize today's technology to deliver their services and communicate with clients. A virtual assistant's support is administrative, secretarial and clerical in nature. However, many virtual assistants offer additional specialties that fall under creative and technical services. Virtual assistants come from a variety of business backgrounds, but the single-most important qualification to become a virtual assistant is at least five (5) years administrative experience earned in the real (non-virtual) business world working in occupations such as administrative assistant, executive assistant, secretary, legal assistant, paralegal, legal secretary, real estate assistant, office manager, etc.
