Administrative Assistant Careers

Most Virtual Assistants choose this field because they either have vast experience in the administrative field or because they’ve gone through one of the training programs or some combination of both. With Virtual Assistance becoming one of the “hot” new careers for individuals wanting independence, flexibility and the chance to “make it on their own,” VA training programs are popping up all over the place. Let’s take a look at some of the more popular programs out there (please note that this is not an exhaustive list:

Virtual Assistant Startup System – www.TheVAStartUpSystem.com

Tawnya Sutherland is a certified Virtual Assistant and the creator of this system. The Virtual Assistant Start-up System (VAS) includes a step-by-step workbook which provides a collection of advice and practical guidance for starting your own successful Virtual Assistant business. Also included is a CD-ROM of over 100+ VA related business templates plus resource books, VA Business Plan, VA Coaching Session with Tawnya Sutherland, and a VA website amongst other things.

Virtual Assistance U – www.VirtualAssistanceU.com

This organization was founded by Janet L. Jordan, MVA, who passed away earlier this year after being an industry leader and a mentor and friend to many in the industry. It’s kept going because of the other high-quality coaches who helped Mrs. Jordan with training programs. VAU offers a variety of courses and mini-courses to help out not only new Virtual Assistants, but also experienced Virtual Assistants who want to expand their businesses or make their practices more successful.

AssistU – www.AssistU.com

Stacy Brice heads up Assist U as the President and Chief Visionary Officer. AssistU offers a variety of blogs, articles and more for aspiring and experienced VAs. They also offer flexible payment options and personal care for each of their coaching students.

JERPAT VA Coaching – www.VirtualVACoach.com

Patty Benton heads up this program of intensive group coaching. Tele-meeting in a small group with one to two coaches and a small group of coaching students offers peer advantages and great brainstorming sessions for new Virtual Assistants. She’s also recently expanded her program for established VAs who are looking for marketing help with a boot camp program at www.VAMarketingCoach.com. This program is priced reasonably and Patty also hires you on as part of her team and provides you with an earned reference once the work is done.

VA Training – www.VATraining.com

Dale & Becki Noles head up an extensive training program that includes both a jumpstart program for those wanting a quicker start and other programs that work more in detail to get your business into the best shape possible. They have a number of tuition options and work well with their coaching students to make sure that everyone receives the best possible experience from the program they choose.

Virtual Dynamos – www.VirtualDynamos.com

Rebecca & Jon Trelfa head up this reasonably-priced training program providing students with one-on-one telecoaching, unlimited email correspondence, and assessments and training sheets for you to work through. While this is a relatively new training program, it seems well-developed and thought-provoking.

When choosing a training program, ask lots of questions such as:

* How long has the coach been coaching? How long have they been in business? Most VA coaches are or were practicing Virtual Assistants. Ask for coaching references and client references to see how they are to work with/for.

* What is the coach’s background? What experience do they have with teaching, mentoring, training, administrative work, etc.?

* What is the cost of the program? Can you afford it? Do they take partial payment in the form of trade hours, especially if your budget is tight? Do they offer a payment plan?

* Did they study under a coach or take a formal coach-training class?

* How long is the training program? What does the lesson plan look like? Is it structured well? Do you have the time to invest?

* What does the “textbook” look like? Is it a comprehensive text, full of helpful information and guidelines; or does it look like a pamphlet?

By asking these questions you’ll be better equipped to determine which program better suits your needs.

Hi…

Don’t worry… what you need to do is sign up with a couple (more than one) temp agency. You go in, take a test, and they place you in an office. A lot of companies are looking to hire temps in this economy because it’s cheaper… no health insurance usually. But they might eventually hire you full time if you perform well. Here’s a couple I know that place office assistants. Good luck!

also, if you don’t work for the state of KY but are in the same career field, any advice is appreciated. Please note, I have an AAS degree in Office Adm.

Well I took several tests for the state of Ohio — office assistant and other clerical positions. Don’t know about Kentucky but in Ohio the top ten people (if interested) are interviewed when a position becomes available. I’m in the top 10 and hoping for an interview soon. Tested in April.

From medical assistants to physicians the medical field has always offered wonderful career opportunities. This activity field will always provide job security and great income as the demand is growing so there won’t be any problems in the future finding a need for the medical professional.

There are many different activities in this large field and they are all well paid so one can chose one convenient to his needs.

Another important point that will help decide in choosing a medical career is that one can choose from a lot of activities in the field that offer flexible time and some days per week to work and great payment. Of course, there are also full time jobs and nigh and emergencies careers for people that consider suited for these jobs, jobs witch come with great compensations but really need dedicated persons for it.

Starting with medical assistant to registered nurses, from psychologists and psychiatrists to social workers all are in great demand and will be needed as long as humanity will last.

The salary is more than motivating, the program also but many people get into a medical career for many different motivations. Some want to know themselves and how their body functions in order to cure people or they even suffer from diseases that they hope one day will find a cure. Some really have a heart for social working; some love the clean working conditions and the respect of the people for what they are doing. The most gifted persons in the field combine the psychic care and encouragements to their patient to the medications prescribed. These fields surely offer many great rewards and extreme contentment on all plans, from social to spiritual and financial ones.

In pediatrics, the medical field is wide open. Careers for child psychologists and nurses are available and of course, physicians who are ready to go to work in private practice or as an important part of a family group practice will be pleasantly surprised with their working environments in most cases.

Medical Assistants are responsible for administrative and clinical tasks. These assistants are responsible for keeping health care offices running smoothly. The duties of medical assistants vary from office to office. Some of the tasks performed medical assistants include taking vital signs, preparing patients for examinations, or assisting doctors with examinations. Medical assistants also collect specimens, administer medication as authorized by a physician and telephone prescriptions to pharmacies. They are also responsible for taking blood, changing sutures and dressing, and keeping examination rooms clean and tidy.

Medical assistants can move up in their careers by specializing in particular healthcare areas. There are also advancement opportunities by moving up to office manager. With additional certification and education, medical assistants can advance to other health care jobs such as nursing. Healthcare employers prefer graduates of formal programs in medical assisting. Such programs are offered in vocational-technical high schools, postsecondary vocational schools, and community and junior colleges. Postsecondary programs usually last 1-year, resulting in a certificate or diploma, or 2 years, resulting in an associate degree.

Nurses are hands-on health professionals who provide focused and highly personalized care. The field has a wide range of career opportunities, ranging from entry-level practitioner to doctoral-level researcher. Although an entry-level nurse can find a job with a two-year RN degree, there is a growing national movement to require all nurses to hold a BSN. An increasing number of nursing schools are offering accelerated bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. There also are a growing number of RN-to-MSN and MSN-to-Ph.D. programs, designed to meet the increasing demand for more highly skilled nurses in the workforce.

In addition, nursing has four Advanced Practice clinical professions, each of which requires a master’s degree and separate certification: Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nurse, Anesthetist, Nurse-Midwife and Nurse Practitioner.

Very good employment opportunities are expected for pharmacists over the 2000-10 period because the number of degrees granted in pharmacy are not expected to be as numerous as the number of job openings created by employment growth and the need to replace pharmacists who retire. Pharmacy is the third largest health profession in the United States, and pharmacists are consistently ranked as one of the most highly trusted professionals. They care for patients, dispense medications and monitor patient health and progress to maximize their response to the medication. Pharmacists also lend their expertise on the composition of drugs, including their chemical, biological, and physical properties and their manufacture and use. Thank a pharmacist for ensuring your medication’s strength and purity, and for assuring that drugs don’t interact in a harmful way.

Dermatology offers registered nurses, PAs and medical techs many possibilities and often the dermatology offices are closed either on Monday or Friday which again, offers appeal. Dermatologists draw good salaries and career minded physicians can work alone in private practice or in a group.

If these few examples of jobs in this field convinced you, move further and see what you have to do next.

Beginning your search for a career, look online at the Occupational Handbook placed online by the US Labor board and see if you can find a career that’s not only in high demand but one which will satisfy your long term goals for salary and educational requirements. Be familiar with your career opportunities before you lock yourself into a permanent career choice.

Career planning programs are designed to help you choose a medical specialty and select and apply to a residency program. This four-phase process will guide you through the elements of career planning, including self-understanding, exploring a variety of medical careers, and finally choosing a specialty to meet your career objectives.

There are several colleges that train students for careers such as Pharmacy Technician, Medical Assistant, Medical Billing/ Coding Specialist, Clinical Research and many others. College’s focus is not just on getting through the course material, but to make students “industry-ready”.

Career training can sometimes cost money, and especially degrees can cost significantly. There are scholarship websites to help you get the degree you want, and there are state programs available to help you pay for other types of career training.
