What does a virtual assistant do?

Some virtual assistants in the Philippines work as freelancers and some for an agency, so read each job posting for hours and time zone, then make your virtual assistant resume name your tools, your clients' time zones and the results you delivered.

Virtual Assistant duties to put on a resume

• Answer messages and calls for clients, take messages or pass them on.
• Schedule and confirm appointments and meetings for clients or supervisors.
• Compose, type and send meeting notes, routine correspondence and reports.
• Create, maintain and enter information into databases and spreadsheets.
• Set up and manage electronic filing systems.
• Update CRM records, lead lists and follow-up dates for clients.
• Answer client and customer emails or chat messages, or pass them to the right person.

Best resume format for a virtual assistant

• Keep it to one page; clients and agencies skim for tools, hours and results.
• Show results with numbers: inbox size, meetings scheduled, hours a month, clients retained.
• State your time-zone overlap, weekly hours, typing speed, and internet speed with a backup connection, so a remote client can see you will be reachable and reliable.
