Take the top candidates and give them a second, more difficult, project.

Settle on whomever you prefer to work with.

Training Your Virtual Assistant

Have her/him go through some online video training that fits your project.

Keep your training resources organized.

Keep a document with links to everything you have asked your assistant to read as part of training.

Create a list of how to do tricky things step by step.

Have her/him create documentation of processes and the steps to do various things.

Managing Your Virtual Assistant
