🚩 PSA: If you’re still sending the same resume to every job… babe, that’s why HR is ghosting you 👻

You can’t apply to a Marketing role, a Sales role, and a VA role with the exact same bullet points and expect miracles. Customize. Tweak. Align.

✨ One role = one slightly remixed resume.
✨ Highlight what they need, not what you did.
✨ Make recruiters say “Oop?? They get it.”

Stop copy-pasting. Start positioning. Your inbox will thank you. 📩🔥

👇 I’ll drop more tips + examples in the comments!

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐲—𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐦.

The reality of working from home (or anywhere) isn’t just about coffee shops and cozy corners, it’s about grit, discipline, and showing up even when no one’s watching.

Yes, it’s a privilege to work beyond the walls of a traditional office, but it also demands focus amidst distractions, self-motivation without constant supervision, and consistency when comfort tempts you to pause.

Remote work isn’t easier. It’s different. It’s about creating your own structure, mastering balance, and proving daily that results matter more than location.

"𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐏𝐎?" "𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐩𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐀?" ⁉️

READ EVERYTHING carefully.
One of the best traits of a good VA is being detail-oriented—so make sure you read this post hanggang dulo! 😉

Lately, sobrang dami nagtatanong sakin nito so here’s a quick 5-step guide para sa mga curious mag-start:

𝟏. 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐧 / 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞

VA work is super diverse! May admin tasks, social media, design, customer service, etc. Piliin mo yung swak sa strengths mo.

𝟐. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭!

Don’t stress, hindi kailangan expert agad. Start with Google Workspace, Canva, basic social media handling, and most importantly communication skills!

𝟑. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨

Update your resume, gumawa ng LinkedIn, Upwork, OLJ profile, and showcase kahit mini portfolio. Kahit mock projects, legit tingnan ‘yan sa clients.

𝟒. 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐋𝐘
Don’t just send random applications—basahin mo yung job post, i-customize mo yung resume/cover letter, and highlight skills na relevant sa client. Mas mataas chance mo ma-notice!

𝟓. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲
Ang VA world, mabilis magbago. So lagi kang mag-explore ng tools, courses, at skills para level up ka lagi. 🚀

Hindi siya magic, pero with consistency and grind, magiging VA ka rin! ✨

📌 Stay tuned because I’ll be posting more tutorials soon like 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐬, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐀 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 to help you get ready for your VA journey.
