After giving notice, and thinking now that it wasn't perhaps the best time for clarity or objectivity, I dusted off my resume, added my now former role, and began applying to likely-sounding prospects. Bear in mind, I had been recruited or referred into my past couple of roles, so my resume hadn't been top of mind for a while.

I was out of work, temping here and there for a year. A Job is Waiting to Happen to You Long gone are the days of scouring the newspaper want ads and pounding the pavement going from office to office submitting your resume. Employers may get to see a side of you other than what you put on your resume or present at the interview.

Concomitantly, over the last three years I've served as a committee member and conference organizer with an educational nonprofit. Well, the educational field is dismal and I've given up on the teaching career. Temp, volunteer, apply for PT work and list that as your present role. As always, I usually tweet any new posts I have.

Make sure your resume is up to scratch: Your resume should list your skills, your experience in working as a virtual assistant, and any other capabilities that you think potential employers are looking for. My opinions are based on experience, education, trial and error and blunders and bloopers made throughout my life and career.

Recently, a temp worker at my job gave me another Google tip. My opinions are based on experience, education, trial and error and blunders and bloopers made throughout my life and career. Finally, I asked her how she knew the answers and what was she doing to get the information? It was then she introduced me to Google.
