Cool Jobs

Are you settling for second best with a job, that just pays the wages, when what you really want is a life full of adventure and doing what you are passionate about?

At CareerDIY.com.au, over the coming weeks, we will start compiling a list of resources so you can start exploring cool jobs and new career options.

Imagine working for yourself, living rent free as a professional caretaker, becoming a freelance writer, or working overseas.  People do these cool jobs every day… so why not you?

Become a virtual assistant (VA) and enjoy success, as well as the opportunity to get greater control over your life

If you want greater flexibility, the ability to be your own boss and the opportunity to work at home, then why not consider becoming a virtual assistant.  

So just what is a Virtual Assistant?  Well a Virtual Assistant is a home-based entrepreneur, or independent contractor, who provides administrative, business or secretarial support to business, either locally, nationally or globally.  Instead of working for a boss, you work for clients and control how much, or how little work you decide to take on in any given week. The beauty about being a Virtual Assistant is that so long as you have access to the internet, phone, fax, email and other technology to communicate with your clients, you can work at home, hours that suit and with clients around the globe.

At CareerDIY, we support Clayton’s Secretary which is run by Kathie M. Thomas. Kathie has helped thousands of people get started as a Virtual Assistant, by providing support and services, as well as membership and job leads.  Kathie has developed VA Trainer, a 10 week online course that will successfully guide you in setting up your business, from starting your own website, networking setting rates through to working with clients. You can also become a member of A Clayton’s Secretary and get access to global job leads.  

How would you like to combine the flexibility of working from home with the fulfilment of truly making a difference in the lives of your clients? If you answered ‘yes’, then a résumé writing career may be just what you’re searching for.

Just imagine being able to work from the comfort of your home… working hours that suit your lifestyle. Then add the sheer satisfaction you will feel by helping your clients win the jobs of their dreams. This IS possible and there is a desperate need for highly skilled résumé writers. The best thing about this business is that it can be operated entirely online which means you can offer your services throughout the world, no matter where you live. There’s no need for you to have a professional office or even meet with clients face to face… once you know how.

We all know the best way to become one of the best is to learn from one of the best. At CareerDIY, we love the Online Résumé Writer’s Course offered by multi-award winning and internationally acclaimed résumé writer, Beverley Neil.
