Press Release Summary = Prescreening members for minimum qualifications helps
business owners find professional Virtual Assistants without wading through
thousands of unqualified sites.


Press Release Body = The Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce (VACOC) now offers
business owners an all-inclusive way to find and partner with qualified Virtual
Assistants.

The VACOC Virtual Assistant Directory is a secure one-stop resource that matches
client needs with the most qualified Virtual Assistants available.

Listed members of the Virtual Assistant Directory must meet a rigorous screening
criteria that includes validation of their professional online presence, proof of
qualifications to operate as a Virtual Assistant, and a commitment to uphold the
highest ethical standards in the industry. Potential clients are assured of
receiving only quality partnership leads from the VACOC Virtual Assistant Directory.

The Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce is serious about client satisfaction. Its
Virtual Assistant Directory includes information to help business owners hire the
best-suited, most qualified Virtual Assistant for their needs with its guide, \"How
to Hire a Virtual Assistant.\" This document is filled with tips to help business
owners know what to look for and what questions to ask in order to find the right
Virtual Assistanta.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of Virtual Assistant sites on the Internet, and a
great many of those are run by people who don\'t have any qualifications whatsoever
to be offering these services, much less taking people\'s money.

\"With our Virtual Assistant Directory, business owners don\'t have to wade through
thousands of sites trying to determine who is qualified as a Virtual Assistant,\"
states Danielle Keister, founder of the VACOC. \"Our custom-built advanced search
engine allows clients to search by name, geographic location and service category.
Oh, and it\'s free to use on top of that!\"

The VACOC Virtual Assistant Directory currently lists members in the United States,
Canada, United Kingdom and the Philippines with expectations to increase member
listings for all parts of the world as member sites are submitted for prescreening
and approval. Business owners can also take advantage of the VACOC Request for
Partnership Center.
