Hi Dawn! I'm a young VA starter too from Manila-Philippines, though I'm still realizing what will I really offer to my prospective clients..

to the forum, you're going to fall in love with this family, that's a promise..

Do not worry about you getting laid off, because I always believe that not-so-good things are replaced by much better opportunities.. I too experienced being rejected as a VA but then that's okay, I'm learning every mistake I made..

Well, I know that multi-skills are needed in our chosen career, but then we should always asks His guidance in our VA life..

Welcome again...

Hi Dawn, Welcome to the forums.
