Fresh Grad waiting for deployment: Is it worth diving into the VA world for a part-time sideline?

Hi! I'm a fresh grad, no prior work experience. Currently waiting for my deployment sa real job. I've been really curious about the VA/freelancing industry.

I want to start learning and want to use Brayarn's portal (if you know him; since his course is free, not like the others with pay) and youtube university hahaha. Goal ko lang is to know more about this industry and eventually land a part-time gig, not a full-time. Since this isn't exactly aligned with my career path—I just want to be productive and earn extra.

My questions for the freelancers/VAs here:

Is it realistic to find a part-time client who is newbie-friendly in today’s market?

For those who used Brayarn’s free courses, were you able to land a client even without paid certifications?

Is the time investment worth it if I only intend to do this part-time? (I’m hoping to continue this as a side hustle even once I start my full-time job for extra income.)

For those who juggle both corporate and freelancing, is it manageable to maintain a part-time VA role without burning out, or is the learning curve too steep for just a "sideline"?

Would love to hear your thoughts or "real talk" advice! Hahaha thank youuu!

Alam kong masamang mainggit pero

Yung college friend ko, nasa US na ngayon kasama buong fam niya. Tbh, masaya ako para sakanya. Pero may part din sa akin na "inggit". Kasi lahat sila ng fam niya nasa states na. Alam kong yung inggit ko ay dahil din sa kagustuhan kong iparanas sa magulang ko yung ganong lifestyle. Kahit hindi tumira sa ibang bansa, kahit maitravel ko man lang sana sila. Hindi kami financially capable to travel kung saan man namin gusto. Kaya siguro ako naiinggit sa friend ko, kasi they get to travel with her whole fam, tapos ngayon may greencard na sa US. Doon na rin siya maghahanap ng first job niya since fresh grad kami. Samantalang ako, unemployed pa rin at hirap makahanap ng work sa industry namin dito sa Pinas. Alam kong hindi healthy ang mainggit at i-compare ang sarili sa iba, pero hindi ko mapigilan. Hayyyy.

Seeking advice or leads for entry-level part-time remote work

Hi everyone! I’m a fresh graduate looking for a part-time online job while I wait for my technical career deployment, which unfortunately got delayed. I am an absolute beginner in the virtual assistant world, but I am currently learning through Brayarn’s portal and youtube university.

My background includes heavy experience with data entry, documentation, and project coordination, and I’m very comfortable using Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. I’m a multitasker with a reliable PC and stable internet, ready to help with admin or data tasks.

If you have any suggestions on where to start or know of any openings for a beginner, I’d really appreciate the help!
