21.A virtual assistant

 A virtual assistant is a professional who provides administrative and technical support to clients remotely. They perform a variety of tasks including data entry, appointment scheduling, email management, and other administrative tasks. Virtual assistants work from their own office, using their own equipment, to provide assistance to clients. They are hired on a contract basis, either on a full-time or part-time basis, and typically charge an hourly rate for their services. Virtual assistant services can be offered through platforms like Zirtual or Fancy Hands, which provide a marketplace for virtual assistants to connect with clients. Clients can choose virtual assistants based on their skills, experience, and rate, and hire them for a specific period of time to complete a project or provide ongoing support. This can be a flexible and cost-effective way for businesses and individuals to access administrative support.
