The Story Behind Our Business - The Virtual Assistant

Have you ever had the desire to have your own secretary? Do you want to hire someone full-time but you don't want the hassle of training a new person or finding office space for them? Do you ever dread going through countless resumes to find just the right person for your job? If you answered yes to any of these questions then we have the answer for you...you can have your very own virtual assistant through EndoEtc Virtual Office Services.

What exactly is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

A VA is an independent contractor, usually working from home, who provides staffing services to businesses via the Internet. The VA works closely with the client and typically forms a long-term relationship. Because the VA is a contractor, the client avoids having to deal with time-consuming and expensive tax, legal and insurance issues.

Work assignments are communicated through e-mail, phone, fax, mail, courier, diskette transfer, and real-time online messaging. The services offered by VAs vary from one individual to the next, based on their area of expertise. In addition to administrative support, many VAs offer other, more-specialized skills, from Web site maintenance to "virtual foreign offices" for companies seeking to go international. VAs are becoming the de facto growth partners of small businesses and teleworkers all over the world - offering the home-based worker full professional assistance with a variety of support responsibilities at the click of an email icon.

The virtual assistant - not a temp, not an employee, but a self-employed professional can cater to the needs of the individual telecommuter and tailor services case-by-case, providing top-notch support to permit the telecommuter to focus on core tasks rather than the more time-consuming chores.

VAs are sometimes the answer after companies downsize. When the workflow grows bigger than the staff, or during temporary crises, VAs can be called on to take on tasks that can be performed virtually. And the same VAs -- who now know the client's needs and its internal workings too -- stand ready to meet the challenge of the next support crunch on a moment's notice.
