We are often asked what a typical day in the life looks like for a Virtual Assistant. Well, typical is not a common word we use around here. Although, Virtual Assistant start and end work each day at the same time, and will steadily be working 40 hours a week, everyday is different for them.
A Virtual Assistant day will depend greatly on the clients they have. Since Virtual Assistant work with 1-2 dedicated clients, they must adapt to different communication styles, personalities, and preferences. Virtual Assistant often manage large influxes of tasks, from multiple clients, which requires daily organization and prioritization. Some clients have heavy scheduling needs, others require help with deep research, making reservations, or scheduling appointments. Sometimes Virtual Assistant will handle one-off tasks, other times larger extended projects. Clients may be very consistent with the tasks they ask for, or they may be more sporadic—often needing their Virtual Assistant the be the proactive one in the relationship.
