What would be the best way to look for a va? My first piece of advice with hiring a generalist, whether they're a VA or they're in person, is a one of you. If there's two of you, you and a generalist, one of you has to be techie. That criteria if you're not feeling like you know what a VIOP phone number is and how to reroute things like how to if you're working with your physical phone, how to get that phone online so they can run it from the Philippines. If that is not immediately making sense to you, and you can't figure out how to do that within a couple of Google searches, that generalist needs to have those. Because if you're going to work virtual, one of you needs to be pretty tech savvy.
