My experience with assistant work comes from working in office. I've worked for a Chartered Accountant Firm part time since I was sixteen.
I've handles clients, employers, and met all of their needs. I've handled phone calls, emails, and other types of communication. My time management skills are top tier, as it's needed when being a Virtual Assistant. Critical thinking and problem solving, come naturally to me, unless the problem exceeds my field of expertise, then I will ask for outside help. I've branched out to work remotely seeing as it fits my lifestyle better.
