Year 2020 is a tough year for everyone because of the pandemic that we are experiencing. Indeed, this COVID 2019 has taken a toll in our lives. It may be for our travels, goals and dreams, health and especially for our work. That is why the set-up of work at home is practiced right now. Working at home has its pros and cons when you are an employee of a private company. The workload alone is big enough to bring it at home. For me, I would rather be working from home than working at home. Working from home breaks your robot-like routine. It gives you the opportunity to have a better work-life balance. With that kind of set-up, being a virtual assistant comes first into our minds.
