Why am I looking for a Virtual Assistant job if I had a business of my own? During this pandemic, I lost my business, my property, and my cars. I need to dispose of them to defray the cost of my unpaid bills. Time is running too fast and so is my savings. I am running out of resources and I cannot just sit and wait for a pandemic to be over. That would not be the least to happen in 3 months to a year. So I get back on my senses and start planning again how to get back into where I should belong. At first, I was so hesitant to do a VA. I was scared if I can fit into this kind of world. What's in it for me? Or I was just being persuaded because I see a lot of job openings in VA everywhere on social media platforms. I thought, why not give it a try. Then, I started researching about it. I came across a lot of tutorial videos and I watched them. I was inspired by so many success stories of becoming a VA. So, I said to myself, this might be the thing for me. But wait, where shall I begin? Am I equipped? Do I have the skills? Am I prepared to do it? Do I need to do this? The answers came fast to me. While I was researching about VAs, I realized that in my entire life I have been a VA myself not as a VA literally but the skills of being a VA I got them. I may not be as good as someone who is an experienced VA but I have been doing what VAs are doing for their clients. I have been employed in a bank for 26 years and I acquired skills needed to be an excellent VA not to include that I managed my own business for two years. I may not be equally good as other VAs with so many experiences at their backs but I can be as passionate, hardworking, determined, and self-directed. Sometimes, life is tricky. You have been doing so many things to have a better life. Sometimes you become successful where you at but sometimes you failed. Whatever life brings us there is always another chance to stand up when we fall or give back when we had so much. Right now, even though I am starting a new career I know that I am giving it back to myself because our good Lord has been talking to me for the longest time that you got the skills of being a VA, and I think this is it! I hope that my search is over. Keep safe everyone
