It can temporarily help me to give a start up in my career and achieving my career goals in future.

There is a grammatical error:
For example, I able to make my point clear in a simple and appropriate manner…. should be I am able to make my point clear in a simple and appropriate manner.
Through online messages, people working in a virtual team can get to know about each other's thought process and can also get more ideas on a similar topic. People working in virtual time can exceed time zones, distance, and organizational boundaries.
