Are Virtual Assistant Websites Helpful?

 The web presence of Virtual Assistants is very important to be able to easily get noticed by prospected employers. Without the websites of VAs available on the internet, they wouldn’t be seen online by businessmen looking for virtual employees. This is one of the main reasons why a Virtual Assistant should have a website of his own. The VA should have a resume profile and a website so that he/she will establish online web presence.

If you are a registered member of VOT, your Resume Profile should have already been set up and live at the Virtual Assistant Directory. The purpose of this is for the employers to easily find and make contact if they are interested in you. Remember that employers usually look for Virtual Assistants for only short term projects or freelance basis.

How to create your homepage?

Home and Sub-pages are very important. Here, your homepage should be a summary of your self but nicely done in eye-catching manner the way contents are presented. This would surely make the supposed client or employer to read for more before you are officially-hired. Include also your email or contact details in the Homepage, so that employers can call you immediately if they are interested in your services.  

Okay, so after completing your home page information, you will need to create some of the so-called Sub-Pages. They are also very important. The best thing to do here is to stick on the pages and also stick with the information that will specifically guide you to land a good job.

About Me page – Here, you can describe yourself and your skills, even outside of your professional network experience. Remember that there maybe cases that your employer may not be able to know you personally or via Skype, so describing yourself a bit is also very important.  

Work Experience – This is also very important information that any employer is interested to understand. This is especially if your work experience is related to the job you are applying for. You can describe your history here.

Education – You can list down your schools here. You can also include the type of seminars and training you have attended. You may also list down your favorite subjects back in college if you want to, the awards that you have received or other extra-curricular activities you have attended, as well as the professional organizations you have also joined.

Projects – If you had previous  experience about a Virtual Assistant work, this is a good place to describe it here. This is some sort of your portfolio. This is even better if you can link some of your previous projects. A client’s site, that has now improved after you have worked with it, is a fine example.
