Local Virtual Assistant Receives International Recognition from Industry Leaders Worldwide

Online, February 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Strasburg, OH - Michele Randolph, owner of Gold Force Administrative Support announced today that she has qualified for the new worldwide Virtual Assistant Certification from VAcertified.com.

VAcertified.com is the new standard for Virtual Assistant Certification which clients worldwide can use to benchmark the services they are looking for in a Virtual Assistant (VA). The first internationally recognized VA certification, VAcertified.com offers a carefully calibrated and unbiased assessment of a VA's skills, education, professional experience, and industry contributions to gain business owners' confidence in the skills of certified VAs.

To qualify for the certification, Randolph was evaluated by 13 industry leaders and specialists from the four corners of the world on a broad spectrum of personal and professional traits pertaining to her expertise and professional ethic.

Randolph is one of thousands of Virtual Assistants (VAs), business owners who work from their own offices providing professional support, services and skills to their clients via phone, fax and internet-based technology. Partnering with a VA reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles and enables business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve.

As more and more businesses look toward affordable, online solutions to sustain and grow their bottom line in a tough economy, Virtual Assistants are enjoying increased demand for their services. For business owners and managers who may have considered outsourcing support tasks to a VA in the past but could not justify the understandable risk of hiring an unknown, VA certification provides an assurance that the VA in question has the skills and experience needed.

Randolph specializes in desktop publishing, word processing, editing/proofreading, and data management, and is a home-based administrative professional providing various online services to her clients. She started her Virtual Assistance career with the vision of sharing her creativity and advanced office skills to benefit a diverse market of businesses, associations and organizations.

"What I enjoy most about being a Virtual Assistant is simply helping people. To be qualified by the first internationally recognized Virtual Assistant Certification Program as a Certified VA brings credibility to my personal commitment of authentic service through grounded principles of professional integrity, moral and ethical values, and Christian beliefs."

The VAcertified.com seal of approval tells prospective clients that a global panel of experts has thoroughly reviewed a Virtual Assistant's skills, experience and professional ethic.
