What’s The Best First Task With Your New Virtual Assistant? – Practical Advice

You’ve finally hired a VA. You may have followed my last advice and hired only one applicant. Or maybe you didn’t. Either way, you’ve now come to this: giving your new VA the first task.

I believe that the first task is special. It should be something that tests your working relationship.

In this video, I share with you:

  • what kind of first task you should give your VA,
  • why this is important, and
  • what you should hope to achieve afterward.

This practical advice is one of many. Head over to our outsourcing education page to catch the whole series. You can also subscribe to our blog to be notified when new videos are published. Lastly, remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel too—we’ll be releasing new videos every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month.

You can also check out How to Get a Referral to a Great VA in the Philippines and learn how to get started on hiring Rockstar Virtual Assistants.

Hi everyone. I hope there is a company who can hire a newbie in this field like me. Someone who can believe that a beginner like me will be one of the best employee someday.
