How to Build a Career as a Virtual Assistant

Listen Later

Some may view being a virtual assistant as a stepping stone in between roles, but a career is very much possible. We’re diving into this topic with Hannah Kahn, our Chief People Officer at Don’t Panic Management. Hannah reflects on her career journey and shares how she grew from an Administrative Assistant to her current role and made herself an irreplaceable employee. 

Of course, Hannah keeps a close pulse on all things virtual work-related, and we hear her perspectives on how to collaborate remotely, what the rise of AI tools means for VAs, and more! 

Key Takeaways:

  • Curiosity goes a long way for virtual assistants. Hannah says it’s one of the easiest ways to become irreplaceable and grow in your role.
  • Even if a virtual assistant isn’t responsible for developing strategy, understanding the vision and goals allows them to take ownership of their tasks and make more informed decisions.
  • A virtual assistant can be an invaluable member of your team. Hannah likens her role to a “mega assistant” who oversees the big picture. 
  • Hannah’s #1 tip for anyone looking to hire a VA is to identify the tasks you’d like to delegate before you start working with your assistant.
