Cybertary Featured in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


Cybertary unit franchisee Raymond Gordon was featured this week in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The article, titled "Virtual assistants, real opportunities: Skilled professionals drawn to Cybertary," appeared in the Jobs section, and also featured Patricia Beckman, founder of Cybertary, who spoke about the appeal of virtual assisting as a career option.
“Virtual assisting is a good option for moms with skills who want to stay home with their children, caregivers of elderly family members, or disabled workers,” Beckman said. “We’re seeing an increase in the number of applicants, and they have high-quality skills.”
Raymond spoke of the appeal of Cybertary as a path to successful business ownership.
“I wanted to be my own boss, but I decided to pursue franchising because I thought I might need some help. Statistics show that franchising is often a more successful route to business ownership,” said Gordon, owner of Cybertary Atlanta in Chamblee.
The article also mentions Bhuvana Krishnan, operator of Cybertary Alpharetta, and how she was able to help a local woman, Belinda Allen, find work that helps in her pursuit of a full-time job.

“I’ve done two projects for her so far. The work is enjoyable and varied, and I have the benefits of working without having to fight Atlanta traffic,” said Allen. As an independent contractor, she’s free to continue her search for full-time work, while keeping her skills sharp.
“Cybertary has made a huge difference from a financial and an emotional standpoint,” said Allen.
The article does a great job of showing how Cybertary is a great solution for franchisees, work-from-home subconsultants, and businesses looking to save money.
