Anything you need is just a click away. Naturally, this has led to the opening of many avenues for new-age job seekers.

Taking the most advantage of these opportunities is a growing breed of professionals known as Virtual Assistants or virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is a person who offers professional technical, creative and administrative assistance to clients, but remotely- from a home office. This profession is suitable for those who desire to spend more time with their family at home, for those who feel confined within a mundane office routine and for those who want to work independently without an employer ordering them about.
