Has anyone tried being a VA (virtual assistant). would like to try applying as VA, but I'm just a 2 year course grad of food technology, but my last job till last July 2015 was HR Administrator in a hotel at middle east. suggestions and advice please . since i am a widow, prefer to have home based work to take care of my 9 month old twins

Yes, I've tried several VA jobs in the past, from SEO, Casting, Real Estate, and many other industries. I would say the compensation is really competitive. I eventually even earned more than what I was getting when I was in the corporate world where I used to be a Business Development Manager in an insurance company. Try applying to any industry you think your skills and time would fit.
