Applying for and actually getting a job as a virtual assistant really comes down to how you sell yourself. You don't need a ton of experience or a high tech office, as long as you have a strong drive.
Below are some tips on how your can write a killer virtual assistant resume that will actually land you jobs:
If you are like a lot of people, you have been using the same resume for years. It's usually the basic type that lists everything in chronological order with headings that are just plain boring. Most resumes of this type include headings such as:
1. Objective
2. Highlights
3. Work Experience
4. SummaryMost often you can find samples of resumes that use obsolete headings like these on websites that provide tips on how to write an effective resume. The problem with resumes like this is that they're written using templates that a lot of freelancers use so aren't effective and they get passed over. If this is what you've been using to get freelance projects, it's time for an updated resume. When you want to be the freelancer that's chosen for a virtual assistant position, compiling a list of the responsibilities that you had for previous positions doesn't hold any interest for someone who wants to hire a person who can complete their project by a deadline. If you want to get the attention of a potential client, it's important to highlight your unique qualifications and skills for the job.
Just make sure to highlight your skills and that you have the ones needed for the jobs you are applying for. Once you prove you can work independently you can build a strong online virtual assistant work portfolio. By including great feedback, you can use this online business portfolio when ever you feel necessary, to take on more work.
