As a Virtual Assistant (VA), there is a very large world of market niches open to me, and like most VAs, I struggled to determine which portion of the world I’d stake out as my niche. I explored the niches of coaching professionals, authors, marketing professionals, real estate professionals, financial planners, lawyers, startup businesses, etc., but in the end I had a “duh” moment that led me to where my heart lies — human resource consultants.
Why I hadn’t thought of supporting human resource consultants long before now is simply a matter of being so close to the forest that I couldn’t see the trees. As a matter of fact, if the trees had been any closer to me a tree limb would’ve reached out and swatted me. LOL.
Back in my corporate days, the part of my office manager jobs that I loved so much was the human resource portion. I enjoyed helping my fellow employees with their benefits questions and cutting through the red tape, advising new managers regarding hiring practices and disciplinary issues, etc. In a nutshell, helping my coworkers so that they could focus on the job at hand was a rewarding experience.
As a Human Resource Virtual Assistant (HRVA), what can I offer you, the busy human resource consultant? Not only do I offer experience in human resources, but I also offer you a virtual partner who is as interested in your success as you. When you partner with this HRVA, you not only get administrative and secretarial expertise, you also get someone:
- you can brainstorm with
- who can suggest ways to market your consultancy
- who will help you automate repetitive tasks
- who can free you from the tedious, daily admin work
- who can help you find the time to build and expand your consultancy and
- who can help you focus on what you do best — human resource consulting.
What do you think; if you could create the perfect human resource assistant, what would she do for you?
