WHAT IS A VIRTUAL
ASSISTANT?
By the simplest definition, a virtual office
assistant is an independent contract worker who
provides administrative, creative or technical
services. Often that means handling the same types
of tasks as an office secretary or manager, but
doing them from a home office, using the virtual
assistant's own computer equipment, software, phone
and Internet connection. [source: International
