Journey into the world of Virtual Assistance and you will find an exciting and productive profession driven by thousands of qualified Virtual Assistants, also known as VA's. The Virtual Assistant industry has been around for more than ten years however the term 'Virtual Assistant' has only been referred to for the past few years. Previous to the distinction, Virtual Assistants were referred to as terms such as Secretaries, Personal Assistants and Office Administrators. The Virtual Assistant industry is vastly growing all across the world, some countries such as the United States, Australia and the UK have more Virtual Assistant practices than others such as Canada. Although countries such as Canada have fewer VA's, the industry is quickly growing in this day in age and with the advancements of technology. Companies are catching on to the idea of hiring a VA rather than an in-office employee due to accessibility, affordability, corporate downsizing and the fact that VA's continually save these companies money.

What does the term Virtual Assistant really mean? Well a variety of things actually but most commonly a Virtual Assistant is much like a Secretary, Office Administrator and Personal Assistant combined; the main difference is that a VA works out of their own fully equipped home office. VA's offer a variety of services to their clients depending on their experience and training, such as but not limited to, word processing, desktop publishing, internet research, database development, web and graphic design, computer training, concierge services and so much more. Basically, if a client has a need a VA can usually satisfy them or find another VA who can. The location of the VA is not important when selecting one to conduct business with as VA's work virtually for the most part, utilising the use of technology with the internet, email, fax and telephone; where these methods do not work, postal service picks up the slack.
