After 9+ Years, My VA Visits! – Kiel’s Visit

By John Jonas

https://youtu.be/tzQHr5Y2GQE Outsourcing means having people work for you from across the globe. Most of the time, you see each other in video calls. It’s a rare opportunity to meet your VAs, and when you do, it’s more likely that you visited them in their home country. I recently had a rarer opportunity to have been visited by my VA here in the US! Yes! One of my long time VAs was in the country to visit his family, and made an effort to also come and see me. Ezekiel has been a VA for OnlineJobs.ph for 9 years now. He started out in data entry and SEO tasks, to being in customer service, to doing almost anything and everything that I would ask him to do. I have always thought that his nickname was pronounced as “Ki-yel”, but I’ve been wrong for so long! He tells me it’s “Kel”. This is one of the perks in having a face to face communication — you find out the right way to address a person. Another good thing about Kiel’s visit was that I got to meet his family. I mean, how often would an employer meet his VAs family, right? I even drove them to see and play with snow! But you know what the best part during Kiel’s visit was? It was the time we had spent together talking about what I could do to make him and his fellow VAs follow my instructions easier.

Good day. My desire to apply for the VA position has a very much anticipation. I tried several times but my verification proofs are still on progress. Could I ask for a direct sending of my application so that it will put into process.

Thank you and looking forward to working with you.

I used to apply here in the SITE for almost a year.I may not have experience in VA and if given a chance and opportunity I am willing to work . I have an experience in a BPO for just one year and had experience in photography as a photographer. I also edit photos using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Unfortunately , no one replies and hoping I can find a job in this pandemic

Hi what an inspiring article, looking forward to have that kind of experience as well. Been applying for VA positions for almost 2 months now in various websites yet got no luck from them. Hoping to bump into one as I continue to send CVs.

It is nice to hear that VA and boss can meet someday. However, on my end I am still seeking my luck here on onlinejobsph. I don’t feel to apply work elsewhere. I want work from home.

This is such a heartwarming story! It’s rare and special to meet a VA in person, especially after years of working together online.
