I agree - if I were to hire a VA I’d want her (or him, though all the ones I’ve met are females, for some reason) to be focused on a specific area of expertise. For instance, someone who can do all the phone networking that the youngins don’t let me do - to be the contact person for press releases, marketing, that sort of thing - who I could give answers to and have appointments set up if there’s something that really needs me on the line.
For some reason I usually picture VAs as an offsite receptionist, so to speak - somebody who can handle the day-to-day stuff for me rather than “everything and then some”. I guess I’m just not willing to relinquish that much control, either. *chuckle*
