"The Journey Begins: Embracing a New Career as a Virtual Assistant"

By CAMILLE SAMSON  Updated September 4, 2024

Starting a journey is filled with endless possibilities and uncertainties. Whether it may be a personal adventure, significant life changes or a career shift; be ready to embrace new learnings, challenges and growth.

As someone who wanted to get out of a stagnant work cycle from my 8 to 5, I finally gathered all the courage and decided to leave it behind and start my journey as a virtual assistant. I acknowledge that this path will have its fair share of uncertainties and definitely be different from my previous profession; embracing the fact that the virtual assistance world as a dynamic field and will provide me unique opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Why did I choose Virtual Assisting as a new career? Simple. Here, you gain autonomy and flexibility. After serving in the frontline during the pandemic, I gained firsthand experience of the intense pressure and constant risk and personal strain on our well-being. Aside from the other benefits of becoming a virtual assistant, flexibility is the one that appealed most to me.

Transitioning into a new career may feel lonely and daunting but surrounding yourself with people who believe in you and support you is a must! With this in mind, I reconnected with a friend and shared my worries of venturing to an unfamiliar career path. And guess what? She introduced me to ProVA! With much excitement, I enrolled in ProVA’s Virtual Assistant Program together with a friend. Throughout the training, all I can sense was Coach Dham’s eagerness to unleash each trainee’s potential. It was comforting that I was able to mutter “Coach Dham literally got our back in this journey”.

Yes, making this leap gave me a sense of unfamiliarity and made me question the skillsets I have, but during the session with Coach Dham, my passion for growth as a virtual assistant has been ignited. In this ever-evolving digital landscape, I was inspired to hone my existing skills and cultivate new ones and finally showcase these qualities through a solid portfolio to reach greater heights in the freelancing world.

It brings so much hope and inspiration having ProVA stand as a support system dedicated to provide extensive support ensuring that I and my fellow trainees navigate the virtual world with confidence and ease, armed with the right knowledge and skills. But of course, aside from ProVA’s relentless support and assistance, you must be willing to shape your own professional path. Your greatest asset in this field will be your adaptability and optimism.

In every career path we choose, challenges will arise; but these hurdles, will open up new opportunities to grow. By presenting a positive mindset and enthusiasm, we will all be able to build strong and lasting relationships and exceed client expectations. Let’s go and turn our virtual assisting journey a successful and impactful career.
