Ascension Business Solutions
Hi guys, gusto ko lang i-share experience ko with Ascension Business Solutions 🙂
I first saw their post on Facebook. That time, kakaresign ko lang from my previous job and I was really looking for a WFH setup. Career shifter ako and sobrang layo ng previous work ko sa pagiging VA.
Alam naman natin yung struggles pag office-based:
traffic, office drama, tsismosong officemates, and managers na bantay-sarado every galaw mo 😅
So ayun, nag-apply ako sa different WFH jobs… pero honestly, no luck.
Kaya when I applied here, wala talaga akong expectations. As in, hindi ko in-expect na papansinin application ko, lalo na’t wala akong experience as a medical VA.
But surprisingly, they emailed me back. Doon pa lang, medyo na-excite na ako kasi parang, “Wait, may chance pala?” 😅
For me, that was already a green flag #1! They’re open to giving opportunities kahit hindi ka “perfect fit” on paper.
Then came the interview. Super kaba + excitement combo 😆
Pero nung nag-start na, surprisingly chill lang siya.
On time sila (green flag #2), and I was greeted with a warm smile agad. Hindi siya intimidating at all. Parang casual conversation lang, not the usual “formal interview” vibe.
One question that stuck with me was:
How can I relate my previous experience to being a VA?
Sagot ko lang: Techy po ako, sanay makipag-communicate sa ibang nationalities, and willing matuto.
Hindi ko sure kung okay ba sagot ko pero nakangiti naman yung interviewer the whole time (protocol ata nila yun hahaha).
Long story short - I got hired.
And I’m really thankful sa training. Paid siya and ang daming pwedeng matutunan sa mga shadow trainings na cinoconduct ng mga SMEs. Sobrang babait ng trainers (green flag #3), and tutok sila sayo, especially if they see your potential.
Homecare scheduler yung role ko, and I trained for about a month before getting matched with a client. Yung iba, mas mabilis pa depending on their experience.
Hindi perfect and may times talaga na mahirap with all the video submissions na pinapagawa nila pero overall okay naman experience ko with this agency.
So for those na walang VA experience, career shifter or feeling ninyo malayo yung background ninyo, hindi imposible maging VA.
You just have to look for the right opportunity and grab it.
Ayun lang. Hoping ganun din kaganda yung experience nyo wherever you apply 🙌 Job dust for everyone ✨
