What Do Virtual Assistants Do?
Virtual Assistants, or Virtual Administrative Assistants, are responsible for
providing remote assistance to business management professionals. A Virtual
Assistant, who is an Independent Contractor, offers duties such as conducting
research and organizing data, interacting with customers on their client's behalf and
performing additional clerical duties like updating calendars or sorting documents
via online. They also can customize based on the needs of the business
professional. Some will do light bookkeeping but should not be confused with an
actual bookkeeper or accountant. Mainly they work on data entry input for the
bookkeeping and may send out invoices.
What Do Permitting Professionals Do?
A Permitting Specialist plays a crucial role in navigating the complex landscape of
regulatory requirements and approvals necessary for various projects. Whether in
construction, environmental compliance, or land development, these specialists possess a
deep understanding of local, state, and federal regulations. Their responsibilities often
include conducting thorough reviews of project plans to ensure compliance, preparing and
submitting permit applications, and interfacing with regulatory agencies to facilitate the
approval process. Permitting Specialists serve as liaisons between project teams and
regulatory authorities, providing expertise on legal and procedural requirements. In
addition, they stay abreast of evolving regulations to advise stakeholders on potential
impacts and propose strategies for mitigating compliance risks. The success of a project
often hinges on the Permitting Specialist's ability to navigate the regulatory landscape
eZciently, ensuring that all necessary approvals are obtained in a timely manner.
Keeping Up With Emails
Emails can be that pesky little thing that will suddenly become a huge monster. None of us love having
to deal with emails unless we're waiting on an important one or receiving a reply to one that has been top
of mind. Everything else from the ads, marketing and miscellaneous non important emails are what will
suddenly become overwhelming to deal with.
Small tip: take 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon and delete any email not necessary. One can
also set up the inbox to send junk mail to trash, important emails to a specific inbox folder etc. to keep a
better handle on the many emails one receives daily.
