I love the environment and the connection between this interview ..It's like so simple and like you are both confortable with each other . This is the best client to VA interview that I watched

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mrsfloridamanjourney]

Hey Rob, I am glad I bumped in to your Interview Video today. This is very helpful for a newbie VA like me! Thank you!

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@oceanclicktv951]

Interviews are always nerve-wracking but Rob here made it like a casual conversation while also bringing out everything he needs to know from Cynthia. Awesome!

[@VirtualDoneWell]

I think it's important to make interviews relaxed, so that the candidate is confident and not afraid to be open. Cynthia is now my Social Media Manager......

[@ghelaimendoza503]

I hope my client will be like you sir, warm and pleasant. Knows how to lead.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Picking the right client, is just like picking the right VA. Take your time and pick the right ones that suit you !

[@raizadevilla4303]

I like this kind of interview very chill and natural, will be applying as VA soon.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Glad you liked it!

[@allaboutfreelancing4442]

The question of the interviewer was direct to the point and I think a virtual interview should be done in this way because I can feel that the applicant was relaxed and calm in answering the interviewer. The interviewer was kind, easy and collaboration was done in a simple way but very professional.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Appreciate the feedback. This lady was hired and is part of my own support team now.

[@allaboutfreelancing4442]

@@VirtualDoneWell, I'm inspired. I hope all the interviewers would be nice as you. I was also a Virtual Assistant here in the Philippines, the reason I like your video is that it was professionally executed. Thanks

One of a kind interview and cool client.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Thanks

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Actually, all of my interviews are like that. We are very lucky at the talent we have in our VDW 'family'. This cool lady, who rides a motorcycle, now leads my Social Media team.

[@VG-ey3ze]

This is a very pleasant interview, the client is very nice.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Glad you think so!

[@queendublin]

I'm applying for a VA position but I always get declined becaause I only have 1 previous job experience after graduating. But I am really interested with this type of work, and I know this is where passion is at. So, while waiting for a call I am watching videos like this to boost my confidence. Thank you for your videos! Hopefully, they will soon consider me for the post.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Don't give up! My very 1st VA had no experience at all and ended up running our VA business when we first started! Attitude counts for more.

[@rustynails8756]

You might highlight your skills and your eagerness to work. Often your positive attitude will sway an employer when all other things are equal. Good luck to you.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

@@rustynails8756 Very true!

[@Motolaagan]

I'm looking forward to being in the VA world as well, mind if I ask how are you doing now?

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zenzenplays7871]

i hope Filipino interviewers can interview like this. We're not pressured to answer. I was once asked about the role (i was a branch manager)..And i just felt this judgemental vibe from the interviewer as if telling me i cant do the job or Am i sure that i want the job. 🤦

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Agreed. Some interviewers are not that good at conducting interviews that allow the applicant to really shine.

[@patricialynne498]

This is very informative 😊😊

[@VirtualDoneWell]

[@elizabethkalwenya4433]

Hi Rob, I am looking for a VA job, you really allow people to feel comfortable when you're interviewing, I love that.

[@katherinejoyarevalo6377]

I want to experience being VA and i do watching more videos on how to pass for the interview and im preparing for it cause i dont have any experience bout this kind of industry. I hope someday you are my interviewer.. 😍😍😍

[@VirtualDoneWell]

If I could share some tips. 1. Show genuine interest in the company and the job. 2. try to show a bit of energy, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. 3. Highlight the things you are really good at and love doing. 4. Remember it a two way thing. You are assessing the company as well. If you get a bad vibe, maybe pass on that job. 5. Ask questions........ I hired my very first VA totally on attitude. She basically told me in the interview how she would do the job, and make my life easier! I was sold........

[@trengfaustino5546]

Wow I wish I can have client like this. 😍

[@VirtualDoneWell]

You will!

[@baibadio7786]

hello, I have enjoyed watching your video interview. I would love to apply as a virtual assistance as well. Thank you for sharing with us your tips , it encourages people to get a VA job.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

Sadly I think the VA industry can have a poor reputation. For potential VAs it's often seen as a 'filler' job between 'real' jobs, and that it has little career prospects. But I have VAs in my company that have been with us 8-9 years! And for clients, they don't appreciate the value that a VA can bring to their business, which is very sad. I have a team of 7 VAs just helping me! With others supporting different aspects of my business. They are valued full time team members in my business. They are just based in a different country / office, that's all.

[@gerrydiaz3479]

The interviewer was so kind and not intimidated. He knows how he makes u calm and he has a friendly approach.

[@VirtualDoneWell]

We are a friendly business 🙂
