Hi tess

[@palmergae2290]

I am impressed....thank you!

[@innovator371]

Thank you Tess

[@AmeZidi_]

Currently on Upwork. I’m at the stage of looking for clients in the virtual assistance and digital marketing space. I guess the first step is to just start and carry out your own research using KZbin University. I’m done with the “fear” and the “what if” mindset this year. Thanks for the video, I saved it. From Kenya 🇰🇪

[@tessogamba]

Yes, that's what I like to hear. You got this

[@AggiesVine]

I love this channel coz it really helps me continue with mine as we are in the same Niche.

[@ceciliawangeci68]

Aki I have tried with no avail...I went for training but 😢

[@blossomazike6447]

Hi Amezidi, I’d love to know if you’ve gotten any job on upwork since you posted this, only cause I just started the journey and I’m currently in that phase of “what ifs “ lol

[@oseremenjoytv]

Please how do I setup my portfolio on upwork

[@ezekieloyero3424]

This is really fantastic, Tess. You most likely do not know how far this revelations have gone to encourage me, at a point I got emotional but yes, it is the truth what you speak. Thank you very much for this. No.5 point was the take home for me. The entitlement mentality has crippled a lot of minds. I'm Nigerian and I love the woman you are becoming.

[@tessogamba]

I love to know that, thank you.

[@Deely_7]

Thank you for this video Tess. I’m good in both email and calendar management, I’m also trying to branch out to transcribing and the rest.

[@juliana_akello]

Honestly, this is one great video. I'm a VA - I just trained and you've helped me see what I've been doing wrong. I'm definitely going to be more of a doer & problem solver than a talker. You also helped me spot my strengths and one of them is commenting on posts 😂. That has helped me see that I can actually add social media management to my list of strengths, so thanks so much for this video!

[@gladysachepkorir804]

Thank you, Tess, for being considerate to that lady. On my side, I'm so inspired by your videos, and I have learnt that I have to look into what I want to do and get a skill on it. I'm working on that and will bring the testimonies about it

[@aggieger5835]

This is good content. Very helpful and you have pointed out the most important information on starting the V.A journey. Thanks

Hello Tess, I am writing this to answer your question in the video ‘tell me what you can do in the comment section’. I hope you see this. I am a customer service and sales professional with over 3yrs of experience. I am interested in virtual assistant roles as I am looking to switch from my 9-5 job to a remote role. I can offer services in email management and also willing to venture into social media management. Many thanks.

[@marymuthoni7471]

Its my first time learning from you Tess. I have just completed my bachelors in civil Engineering and I feel like I need more skills in order to survive. In addition to earning my CAD certification ,I have enrolled to the AI course which begins on 6th of may .I am a technical person and also loves to provide solutions to peoples problems. I will now research on which side of a virtual assistant bracket I would like to be associated it. Thank you so much

[@stellatabot6377]

Hy Tessy, thanks a lot for this very impactful video on virtual assistant. This is actually my first time seeing your video and I must confess I learnt a lot and took down major points. I liked the part where you painstakingly gave a run down on the right approach for one to be considered for a job and you are real in your explanations. I am a beginner copy writer who just graduated from a copy writing academy and also have a skill in calendar management, currently looking for a virtual assistant job. once again thanks for this amazing video

[@helenmehari6904]
