Virtual assistant is a high demanded job on freelancing platforms, everyone who wants to start it, then he/she needs to build these skills first.
I think it may be more difficult to get a job on freelancing platforms as a virtual assistant because of the high competition. But using social media platforms may be a good idea.

Wow that's a lot of skills but it's reasonable since it's not easy to be a virtual assistant it requires a lot of communication and more to be the best
People can be trained on how to be a very good virtual assistant and it'll even be good for a fast learner but do you think they can learn about how to communicate?

They also require the applicants to work full time and high specs computers or a high definition laptop. The salary is good but once hired you can't choose the time you want. You might be called to work at dawn.
