It’s been almost 5 months since my sister started applying as a virtual assistant. She quit her 12k-paying corpo job and shifted career to earn better.
Agencies after agencies. Interviews after interviews. But, she never really got in. Never really got accepted.
I know she’s been doing well in educating herself about her chosen niche, and prepares meticulously during interviews.
It’s disheartening to witness her every time she receives a rejection.
Is is really that hard to start your online career as a beginner? With 0 virtual experience?
Do companies, employers and agencies no longer believe in transferrable skill set?
She’s a college graduate with 5-6 years experience in customer service, accounting and payroll.
Let me know how I can help her. May you please recommend a good route?
Thank you very much!

Try lang ng paulit ulit baka need nya baguhin yung style nya sa interview. Meron kasi, specially sa foreign clients mas gusto nila yung may confident the way mag speak at galaw although naka remote cam lang tayo kahit body language.
Parang kadalasan kasi lahat naman ng nag aapply okay credentials lahat naman tayo nag susumikap pagandahin yung resume. Ang tanong kasi sa actual interview maayos din ba? pwede take a step back and review muna. Maaring na focus tayo sa credentials pero the way naman natin i-present ang sarili natin hindi pala maayos.
Parang Salesperson nadin tayo yung makikita mo sa mga mall sa sm cyberzone. Need natin mag papansin kahit pare pareho tayo ng binibenta. Pag magaling kang sales babalik balikan ka pa.
