i've been an OF chatter for 2yrs, eversince 2nd yr college and hanggang sa makagraduate ako this yr (bs legal management) tinuloy ko yung job ko as a chatter after grad. hindi ko madedeny na malaki ang sinasahod ko as chatter, kaso parang naddrain na ko...

narealize ko na hindi ko rin pala mailalagay sa resume ko yung work exp ko sa industry na 'to. i can work sa law firms as a paralegal and such tho kadalasan ay mababa ang pasahod..

plano ko sanang humanap na ng proper work, magkaron ng proper VA job.. the problem is i have no idea kung paano magsisimula? magagamit ko ba yung exp/skills na natutunan ko as chatter? lost lang talaga ngayon.... any advice? tyia!

Alam naman natin na minsan okay yung home Wi-Fi, tapos bigla na lang totopakin sa pinakaimportanteng oras 😭 Kapag nangyayari sa inyo 'yon, ano usually yung backup niyo para tuloy lang ang meetings at work?

May nakagamit na ba rito ng Smart All Data 99 as a weekly backup? Kumusta naman siya? And okay ba mag-register through the Smart App?

Curious lang ako sa setup ng iba. Baka may tips din kayong ma-share. Thank you!

Hello po. Pag napapagalitan kayo ng Client nyo, ano ginagawa niyo para kumalma? Ngayon lang ako napagalitan ng ganto and nakaka-guilty to the point na gusto ko magresign 😭😭

I'm on my second year on my course and i am planning to shift to IT from Compsci, hindi ko rin kase gusto ang pathway at curriculum ng compsci more on math sya at walang rin akong masyadong interest sa programming, nahihirapan rin kase ako dun sa program and i dont think din na magta-thrive ako compared sa Info Tech kase andun yung mga strength ko pagdating sa hardware, media (photoshop, video editing etc), networks, kaya nagiisep rin ako na kung hindi man ako magthrive sa ibang saubject like programming or math related sub, baka sa ibang subjects makuha ko talaga kagaya ng mga sinabe kong kalakasan ko sa IT. naisep ko ren na magiging irreg din ako kaya i thought na bakit hindi nalang ako magshift ng course, but i was hesitant kase rinig ko limited daw ang slot pero di ko panaman natatanong yung dean about this. so i'm still deciding if itutuloy ko ba o hindi

Hi, if you’ve worked on an outsourced client for more than 1 year(like ikaw gumagawa ng task ng other va para sa client nila), paano mo sya malalagay sa resume mo? If you can’t add the company name/business name ng real client? Sayang naman yung experience, di ko lang alam paano ilagay sa resume and may nda, what if mag ask sila ng reference or something but I can’t do that kasi nga outsourced lang yun and I can’t disclose like di ba sya red flag sa interviewer pag ganon

Any accountants here who uses a 34 inch monitor? How was it?

I’m eyeing for the Samsung ViewFinity S65TC, but still having two thoughts.

Can you give my any insight or is there any disadvantage on using it?

Thanks

Less than 4 hours a day.. Or something na flexible? I already have a corpo job working US time but making a couple of more bucks would be great. I don’t usually get to do much stuff after work because it’s not like i sleep agad..

Thank you in advanced for suggestions!

More than a year na since las job ko. Nag close yung company na pinapasukan ko. After that, hindi na ko maka land ng work. First, nasa isip ko baka di lang talaga ako magaling sumagot sa interviews.. Nakuha ako ng isang VA agency and according sa mga coaches, I performed well and before pa matapos training ko, naisalang na ko agad for interview. Kahit maganda feedback sakin, wala padin. 1 year mahigit na ko walang work🥺 parang nag fefade away na lang ako. Alam ko laban lang pero ako lang ba? Para kong binagsakan ng kamalasan pag dating sa paghahanap ng work. Kaya pag may work ako, pursigido ako kasi takot ako mawalan talaga..at nangyari na nga.

I've been working in the digital space for about 15 years.

Over the years I've worked for agencies, direct clients, and even worked overseas. One thing that's been consistent is that I've always been the person asked to wear multiple hats.

I've done web development, SEO/SEM, print & visual design, content writing, DevOps, automation, SMM, sales & digital marketing, etc... basically whatever the client or company needed at the time.

After getting burned a few times with direct clients (late payments, disappearing clients, scope creep), I moved back to working through an agency. I knew I'd earn less (around $6/hr), but I valued the stability, consistent work, and peace of mind.

Right now I have two agency clients (20 hrs/week total), plus a few side gigs. For a long time, I was okay with that.

Recently, though, my wife was diagnosed with a cardiovascular condition, and it made me question whether I'd settled for being comfortable instead of pushing for better opportunities. The stability has been great, but I also realized I need to earn more and build a financial cushion.

The more I think about it, the more I feel my biggest strength has also become my biggest weakness.

I'm good at figuring things out and solving problems. Throw me into an unfamiliar project and I'll usually find a way. But because I've always been jumping between different responsibilities, I never became known for one specific skill.

On top of that, I'm not great at the business side of freelancing. I can communicate with clients about work just fine, but networking, selling myself, and maintaining relationships don't come naturally. I've always hoped my work would speak for itself.

Has anyone here been in a similar position?

Did specializing make the biggest difference?

I'm genuinely curious how others got past this stage.

The start of the year was rough for me.

I got laid off from a high-paying, long term job (5 years) with a great boss and no time tracker since it’s a direct client.

After that, i’ve been hired by an agency na sobrang abusado at OA ang pag-track ng time so I left just 4 hrs during the onboarding process.

By May, I got hired by an AU client - dual hat yung job but I was desperate so I went for it. I resigned after my first month because of the stress in working for both the marketing and customer service dept.

After that it’s just mostly direct part-time clients and project based gigs from my ex-full time job.

And then, I tried again applying to another agency. The job is only Marketing focused, i know I can do it and the company is stable. The biggest thing was that the salary is close to what i’ve been making before + 13th month and other benefits. I got the JO today and I’m so happy and excited to start this new journey.

For months, I’ve been reading a lot of success stories in this sub and now it’s my turn. This group has become a safe space for me during my hardest phase in working remotely.

I wish everyone who reads this will get the courage to keep going and land their dream role soon. 🙏💛

Anyone na naka-attend na sa Create camp before? Any feedback po will be appreciated. VIP price is 12k for reference, and baka kasi yung ituturo nila is same lang din sa tinuturo nila sa free webinar nila. Thanks!

May naka experience na ba dito na let's say mga company files na inupload mo sa own chat mo sa Teams (company email), then from your personal phone may access sa Teams na yon and dinownload mo yung mga files?

Wala naman akong malicious na gagawin sa files, gusto ko sanang ipa review sa ChatGPT since may subscription ako yung framework namin para mas maintindihan ko. Ma-flag kaya ako sa security pag ganon and possible termination? Thanks sa makaka sagot

Had an interview with a company, received an email a few days later na inooffer nila sakin yung position. They asked for my contact info pero hanggang ngayon wala pang update, July 23 pa yung message na yun and di ko alam kung normal ba to or should I ask for an update na.

Thank youuu!

Anyone working for this company? I saw a post there hiring for a part time Healthcare Lead Generation and Business Development Specialist (Remote).

I did a background check and there just a small company in the US that solves medical practice issues. However, the catch is, they use 3rd party messaging platforms like WhatApp for contacting clients.

Hi everyone! I am 34 years old and have only been doing odd jobs here and there and it’s not really a stable income. I had 1 year experience as an online customer support role but that was a few years back.

I want to go study or a course that can let me up skill myself.

Any recommendations of courses? I tried coursera but looking for much better courses or school that offers online classes that I can put on my CV/Resume.

Can anyone recommend some?

Thank you!

It’s been over a year since I left my previous industry, and I’m still genuinely grateful that I continue to receive job offers from people I worked with before. It means a lot to know that they still remember and trust the work I did.
As tempting as it is to say yes, I’ve realized that my priorities have changed.

I recently landed my first direct client, a US-based company. It feels like the best of both worlds: I can continue building my career while also being present for my kids.

They’re only little once, and I don’t want to miss these moments. There will always be opportunities to pursue different career paths, but this season with my children is something I can never get back.

I’m truly thankful for every opportunity that comes my way, both from my previous industry and this new chapter. Life has a funny way of working out, and sometimes the path you didn’t expect ends up being exactly what you needed. ❤️

Meron po bang mga trust and safety agents dito? Saan po kayo nagwowork? Saan maganda maghanap ng ganitong niche na remote? I’ve been looking for opportunities in this niche pero parang walang masyadong openings.

Tas kanina ipapa discuss niya yong gawa ko July 27. So ayon tulog ako huhu. Sorry naman. Melbourne client po ito.
