I’m 39 now with no career after pandemic. I was an ex ofw in UAE as travel consultant for 11 years. And Now I am starting again. I am thinking also about my retirement. 😢 That’s why I need to search for a career for a fresh start. It’s not easy but I need to do it. Sadly, I have lots of miss-opportunities in the past. But I only have present & I hope it’s never too late to create my future. 😢

Planning to resign with my current company due to low salary and toxic environment (that I never experience before to my previous job) makes me realize na dapat yung susunod kong career I will find myself more stable. I should have see myself 5 yrs. From now. Thank you.

[@miajuan26]

Yes! For your peace of mind as well. You should never put yourself in a toxic environment, even at work :) I am sure something much better is coming your way.

[@LOLITAZara]

Good luck to your next endeavor Ma'am Mia

[@miajuan26]

Thank you!

[@miajuan26]

If you could choose: Operations Manager or Executive Virtual Assistant?

[@milagrosfiguro9708]

Hi Ms Mia. I am an avid viewer of your videos. This time I want to become a freelance VA. I have a bpo experience. No VA experience yet. How do I start?

[@johnraymondsison184]

You are one of the people I look up to that's why I applied to Athena. It's sad to hear you are no longer with the company. I am towards my final assessment now. Please let me know po real-talk if it is still worth it mag apply sa Athena. This is coming from someone na wala pa VA experience na nasa BPO industry for 5 years.

[@miajuan26]

It is still worth it! Honestly, I am even planning to retire there that's how good the company is. I think you should continue because it is still worth it.

[@johnraymondsison184]

@@miajuan26 Thank you po. Totoo po bang kahit hired na po kay Athena hindi parin secured ung job mo with them and sa training palang may chance pa ma offboard?

[@GertrudeRechel]

I really want to be an effective executive assistant. Because as one you are considered a jack of all trades dapat Marami Kang alam. I am not adept in automation, ano po ba Ang dapat ko Gawin to stay as EA

[@mamshi_of_many]

Miss Mia what is your educational background? Hope you dont mind my asking po. Is it possible for a highschool grad to enter the world of EA and VA?

[@miajuan26]

Yes! Possible. I am an undergrad so pwedeng pwede

Pls, can you always use English?

[@deevinehub]

True. I also follow her and sometimes i struggle to keep up with what she's saying.

[@lucywawira8352]

Me as well she is international figure

[@miajuan26]

Hi! I am really sorry. It's a TikTok question that's why I answered in Tagalog. Most of my videos are in English anyway :)

[@AgentJaneS]

What can you say about having a toxic work environment when you have pinoy co-workers? What do you think is the proper way to deal with crab mentality and superiority, and being bullied as newbie?

[@miajuan26]

In my experience, I've found that keeping a professional approach is important when dealing with these kinds of challenges. If there's an issue, I try to address it calmly and with valid points, or else I just ignore it. I've been a newbie myself so, I understand that perspective but I make a conscious effort to stay positive, focus on my tasks, and excel in my role because I think this not only demonstrates my commitment but also minimizes potential conflicts. Also, don't forget to be respectful always.
