My Escapades As A Virtual Assistant

By: Imee P.Fulgencio

The word virtual assistant (va) is new to me when I'm not yet involved here in this work. I got a lot of ? marks in my head but it all vanished as I started as a trainee to be virtual assistant.

It gives a lot of learning experiences to me through trainings, team activities and attend some online workshops. As time pass by, I found myself pretty enough creating and exploring new things.

Being a virtual assistants is not an easy job. Why? I have gone through all these stuff. First, adjustment from my co teams (new acquaintances) 2nd, my time schedule (shifting), 3rd, I must be computer addict/savvy (whew, really i am?) 4th, how to cope up pressure for deadline tasks of our clients, and the last I must be open for all the newbies or flexible enough, ready to face new challenges, willing to learn and be consistent.

For now, I am glad and proud being a Virtual Assistant. Not because I am earning but, because I am enjoying my work. I love helping and be of service to busy people that can't organized even their personal emails. I meet new friends (worldwide) through online, updated with all the news and love to communicate by means of chat, plurk, facebook, etc.

To all VA's, I would like to say I am happy to be one!
