Virtual assistant interviewing

To screen a virtual assistant (VA), first know what you will need. Ask yourself:

- What is the work and required expertise or skills that I need?

- What is the time frame of the assignment or project?

- What is the scope of the work involved?

- What is the frequency that we would need to work together?

- When must the work be done?

- Is there any specific technology the VA will need?

- Will training be required?

- What's my budget and how will I pay the VA?

- How will we communicate?

- Does my VA need to be located in a particular time zone?

- Are there any other particular qualities the VA should have?
