Ruthie Palmatier began her “virtual” career in 1996 doing transcription work for California-based private investigators. After her family’s move to Idaho in 1999, Mrs. Palmatier returned to onsite employment as a personal assistant to a commercial real estate developer. Her career progressed and she went to work for a commercial and residential broker.
Feeling the urge to work from home again, Ruthie investigated virtual employment opportunities. It was not long before she discovered Team Double-Click® and started transcription work for several of the company’s clients. Before long, Ruthie had gained five clients and expanded her responsibilites into the real estate investing industry providing administrative support. This allowed one of her clients to leave their full-time job within 3 months of obtaining her services to focus real estate investment only. In early 2005, Ruthie shifted her career into overdrive by becoming part of the Team Double-Click® Core Team. As a virtual staffing consultant, she educates and empowers current and prospective clients on the benefits of having an extra set of hands, eyes and ears.
Ruthie lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband and children. She’s an active swim team mom and enjoys traveling, photography, scrapbooking and spending time with her family, including their two dogs, Cisco and Scout.
