For Immediate Release November 17, 2021 Contact: Anne Driscoll – anne.driscoll@scorevolunteer.org SCORE of Southeastern Connecticut Offers Free Webinar: “Is Being a Virtual Assistant for You?” DATE: Wednesday, December 15, 2021 TIME: 12:00 – 1:30 PM LOCATION: Online webinar (Zoom) PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE: REGISTER NOW After registering, you will receive a confirmation with information on how to join the webinar. The Southeastern Connecticut chapter of SCORE, Mentors to America’s Small Businesses, presents a free Small Business Webinar: “Is Being a Virtual Assistant for You?” A virtual assistant provides administrative, technical or creative assistance to clients. But, instead of working full time for one person or organization, he or she works “virtually” (usually from home), providing these same types of services to a range of clients. If you’ve been out of the work force and want to get back in or are in a corporate job and want more flexibility, variety and a chance to help lots of people every day, becoming a virtual assistant may be for you. In this fast-paced, 90-minute session, long-time virtual assistant Belinda Wasser Sandor will talk about what’s involved and the steps necessary to move into this growing field. Topics include: • What do I need to get started? • Where do I get clients? • How much can I earn? • What training is required? • Can I work part time? … and more! Workshop Presenter Belinda Wasser Sandor is a business workflow and productivity expert with 25 years of experience. Founder of RocketGirl Solutions, Belinda is hired by small businesses on a contract basis to act as their part-time “business manager.” In addition, she is the founder of the VA Connection, a professional online community with the goal of educating and connecting independent virtual assistants around the world. Belinda has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Reader’s Digest and other national and local media.
