This article highlights the trend of administrative assistants to set themselves up as virtual assistants, working out of their homes part-time for multiple small business clients. They help do things like writing letters and creating presentations. While the article doesn't talk about it, with some of the new phone systems coming out, it shouldn't be too difficult to let them answer calls and transfer them as well.
