It never cross my mind that a virtual office assistant could come in handy in the internet market. I am so glad that I have my God given skill and talent in doing administrative task. That these sets of skills can open new horizon for me in the virtual office.
Just this year I was finding some means and ways of looking for an online job that I know that I am capable of. I had been exhausted doing transcription works that entails long hours of labor transcribing, proofreading, and editing. There are moments that I feel I'm already burnt out by this kind of assignment.
Then I tried content writing/blogging for a fee which is a bit fun cause I am able to squeeze my writing process out of my sleepy head. It has been a few years that I have stop writing and never thought that I still have it.
Then I tried data entry online work, which is a fast pace work that needs accuracy and speed in delivering the task. It's quite exhausting but fun once everything is done in a timely manner.
Finally I come across a website (http://www.virtualstafffinder.com) that hires Virtual Assistance for Entrepreneurs all over the world. They are an outsourcing firm that will be doing the match-making process for you. It just needs your enthusiasm, positive mindset, skills, broad knowledge, and a marketable resume to be interviewed by the prospective entrepreneur who will then choose amongst the three prospective VA.
It took me two weeks of waiting until I got a message from Stephanie(live2sell staff) that they got me a client and set up a Skype interview. Was I nervous? Honestly I wasn't nervous because I had undergone a couple of interviews from my previous clients in the US and UK. I had been grilled a lot of times with a couple of oDesk employers.
My prospective boss was from Australia the Director and Consultant of Humanity Priority Life Coach (Michelle Terkelsen). I am quite familiar with Life Coaches 'cause I had been able to transcribe a couple of audio/podcast/webinars/video files that they do. I was interviewed in less than an hour and after a few hours of waiting she called me back on Skype and offered me the job. I just couldn't believe it. My official starting date will be on the 17th of January at 9:00 AM (+8GMT). By a few months I'll be able to give you my feedback about my work.
Again this is an answered prayer. For 4 years I had been looking for a full-time online work and with a company that would be willing to embrace me as their own. Now it has come beyond expectations and I am making sure that I do the job well and be able to work with them for a longer period of time. I wanted to grow with the company and set my skills into good use. If I become an asset to the company in the same I can benefit from their financial growth.
