Cyber-Space replacing the need for Office Space, yet providing the same
communication technologies and services of the Office Space - but much

Tricia Kos’s Experience

  • Owner

    Quality Business Solutions, LLC (Sole Proprietorship)

    (Sole Proprietorship; 1-10 employees; Writing and Editing industry)

    January 2006Present (3 years 11 months)

    I began my career as an Administrative Assistant in 1992. Due to personal issues, I needed to be home more and started offering my services virtually. This worked perfectly because it allowed me to fulfill my clients needs. I soon realized there were tasks which could not always be performed due to time, technology, and/or knowledge. Therefore, I began networking with other people who need legitimate work from home and in July 2006, I formed QBS on this premise.

    At QBS we network with several, experienced professionals who work from their home office and meet the requirements of QBS such as: high speed Internet connection, unlimited long distance, computers, faxes, printers, and programs needed to complete the job.

    Please, take a moment and review my site http://www.qbs4u.com. On the Services Page you will find links to my resume', letters of recommendations, samples of work, services, Bios, and more.
