The primary manager may be traveling and/or unavailable to answer your questions. email, instant chat, phone, text messaging, etc.).

Virtual Assistants can take over recurring tasks such as newsletter management, follow-up emails, calendar management and travel plans so that you don’t have to. Or some may choose to work with a virtual assistant who can help with blogging and content alongside other responsibilities to increase marketing content.

These small differences might not count for much offline, but in the world of social media, where word of your personal service can travel, they count for more than you can imagine. Instead of just thinking of your brand, your customers and clients are always thinking of the people behind the business.

Generally, the advertiser wants to instill the idea that with the vehicle on offer, the owner can travel through beautiful mountainous areas and confidently go anywhere off-road. Instead, you can use interesting, compelling imagery to captivate your viewers as well as inform them about the benefits of owning your product.

Who's the Real Boss?

SEPTEMBER 13, 2018

So if you went travelling for six months, then you need to spell that out. Recruiters/hiring managers are notorious for going through the dates of your employment stints, not only to work out how long you spent with each employer, but also to just understand the timeframe in which you moved around. Be upfront in your cover letter.

Are you stunting an opportunity for them to develop their project management skills, because as the older assistant you couldn’t be seen to have a younger assistant deliver on something that potentially should be coming from you? I have in fact identified another stereotype that many of us are guilty of also.

You may get the money and start traveling the world, but you’ll travel with this unspeakable feeling of “something is missing”.
