Joe left his corporate BPO job during the pandemic for virtual assistant work. VA roles paid more, let him work from home, and gave him time back with his family.
What got you guys into being a va? Let's get into the background for the rock stars as to like, why did you choose this profession? I thought it'd be really useful for people to understand the perspectives and see the humanity in this because when people think about virtual assistants, they often think about being outsourced overseas, not understanding what's being said, lower customer service, and that's quite the opposite. But let's get into why. Why did you become a virtual assistant and what drives you from a place of passion? Those might be two separate things, Joe, but let's start with you. Why did you become a va? And then what drives you from a place of passion?
Okay, well for the longest time I worked for a corporate company though it's a BPO company for Australian clients. Then come pandemic, all the offices had shut down, didn't have much option. So I tried and ventured into the VA world. Though I heard about a lot of stuff about it, I didn't really had a chance because I thought that working in a corporate is like somewhat stable, like give me a stable income. But then it blew my mind. When I have researched about being a va, not only the compensation is way much better than what I am getting when I was in a corporate world, but then I have the opportunity to work from home and spend more time with my family while earning more than what I was earning before it.
