Hi

Does anyone know if there are any (online) data-entry type work or virtual secretarial work that you can do from home?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi. Just to say welcome to the forum . I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest idea. Maybe someone in KL will be along soon to answer your question hopefully. You are living in KL currently I presume?

Hi bakedbean, thanks for your reply. I will be living in KL soon, to look after my mum and I was hoping to keep busy as she's still in good health and does not require constant attention.

Hi Manc, What skills do you have? I am going to Penang from Liverpool next year and will freelance with my design, wriiting and other bits and bobs as needed, you can work across the globe from yoir sofa lol.

Whats wrong with Blogging Bean lol

bakedbean

Nothing wrong with it. That's why I suggested it. Though I don't have one.

Hi Julian

Thanks for your reply. I've been working as a PA to Directors for well over 20 years with a very reputable company. I'm pretty good with MS word, excel, powerpoint, outlook and the internet and have worked on bid documents where some designing skills are required. I can send you my CV and a portfolio of some of the presentations I've done. However, I've just joined so not sure if it's possible for me to send you personal messages. Any suggestions on how this can be done?

It would be ideal if I could be your virtual secretary. I'm still in Manchester, UK but moving to KL at the end of the year. I could start straight away if you'd like to give me a try.

No Sorry Manc Ive not explained myself well. I meant that with the skills you have you may well be able to offer your services as a freelancer online. There are plenty of ways of doing this.

Im sorry to have got your hopes up there. But dont give up :-( , keep in touch and lets see if we can help you get sorted out :-)

Sorry Bean, It was the little face you put after the blog :-)

Thanks Julian, will keep my fingers crossed. I was hoping that bakedbean and other forum regulars might require a bit of typing doing...........

Hi Manc53

I recently setup a business here and was looking for expats to help out with some sales work that could be done from home. PM me and I can send you some details and further info. I think you should be able to PM now.
