Email: Hi [Name],
Thanks for reaching out to us, and you certainly have a great skillset.
We are not hiring currently, but if you're looking to become a VA and either start your own business or contract to VA companies, the best place for more information is The VA Foundry which is run by Strictly Savvy's Founder, Jo. Here you can access courses, resources, a podcast and more: https://www.thevafoundry.com/
You could also join this free Facebook group run by the organisers, where you can ask questions to a community of other VAs https://www.facebook.com/groups/158473601504642
Otherwise, the next time we hire we will advertise it on our Facebook page so feel free to follow us over there 🙂
We wish you all the best in your endeavours.
Kind regards,
