Virtual Assistant, Researcher, and Social Media Manager in Metro Manila, Philippines
The first thing that comes in my head when describing me is a person who learns quickly. It is an essential quality because everything can change in a moment so being a flexible person is an edge in the world of freelancing.
Back in 2014, I worked as a computer assistant. I thought it's just about encoding and assisting customers in using their rented computer but no, there was printing while encoding, editing photos while assisting customers who didn't know even how to open the PC then there was time, a lot of times, printers crushed and the main PC hanged up while 5 customers staring at you waiting for their turn to be entertained. Yeah, exhausting but I enjoyed it. That experience helped me to multitask.
Four years later, I discovered an online job. I was an Administrative Assistant who worked with a team on Facebook communicating with the US parents for doctors' recommendation to put into our database. That was a successful job because I did my best to contribute to the company's success.
After that, I was hired to work for a Real Estate software company. We worked a lot in spreadsheets, communicate through Slack, work management through Asana, helped with the financial report, and many more as support staff.
I also had the opportunity to work as a LinkedIn admin for a beer competition company to grow connections with our potential clients. Fortunately, I was promoted to handle the Zoho Mail for customer support, simple WordPress editing (code provided), FAQ making, and research.
I cannot mention all my work experiences but I worked mostly in Social Media Management, Photoshop, Canva, Research basically any Administrative relate tasks.
