List each client or project the way you would a job, even if it was freelance.

What to highlightThe kind of clients you supported and their industry
Tasks you handled: email, calendar, customer support, social media, bookkeeping or research
The tools you used every day
Your working hours and time zone coverage
Results clients could see, such as faster replies or cleaner records

Questions

How do I list freelance VA work?

Should I mention my internet and equipment?

A short line helps, for example a backup internet connection and a quiet workspace. Many clients ask.
