Iryn Wee: A Spanish-Speaking OFS’s Journey to Success

Meet Iryn Wee, a 40-year-old Filipino specialist from Cavite, Philippines. She works as a bilingual virtual assistant, catering to a real estate and construction company based in Houston. Her tasks revolved around bookkeeping, project management, collections, and general VA, all conducted in Spanish.

Iryn believes in the value of integrity and goes the extra mile to ensure her employer receives the utmost support, even when not directly being managed.

She opens up about her journey, recounting her experiences and career path that took her from her roots in Zamboanga City to her pursuit of opportunities in Manila. Iryn shares how she has evolved from a career in the call center industry to being an Online Filipino Specialist.

With a deep understanding of the Chavacano dialect, (a unique Spanish creole), Iryn discusses the significance of language skills in the Philippines and the importance of formal Spanish lessons for professional use. She shares how her career progression and salary increase when she transitioned to a Spanish customer service representative role.

However, Iryn’s story took an unexpected turn when the pandemic hit. This prompted her to explore online job platforms. She highlights the differences between various platforms, explaining why she chose OnlineJobs.ph for its user-friendly approach. Within a week, she secured her first client, transforming her life and enabling her to spend more time with her daughter.

Iryn’s journey exemplifies how determination, the right skills, and the right platform can lead to a brighter future and improved quality of life.

Today, Iryn has an improved work-life balance, financial stability, and time for her passions outside of work, including watching Korean dramas and exploring diverse cuisines.

    Onlinejobs.ph takes pride in our platform’s Online Filipino Specialists. They are real rockstars, each with his own unique story of survival.

    Come with us as we go on a tour of an Online Filipino Specialist’s home, and the inspiring life story that goes with it.

    Each step that we take inside JP’s home is a step into a dark childhood marked by betrayal from the one person JP trusted the most – his mother. Let’s listen closely as JP describes the highly anticipated party at a McDonald’s place, that turned into an unforgettable experience at an orphanage.

    JP currently resides in Bagong Silangan. A rough translation of his neighborhood’s name would be ‘newborn’, and a metaphorical English equivalent would be ‘a fresh start’. This is a reflection of JP’s own life story as an OFS. It reflects how he was able to find clients on onlinejobs.ph – clients that have given him the means to make a fresh start. A way to avoid repeating the cycle of poverty on his son.

    He has taken huge strides away from the constraints of a financially strapped childhood. But more than that, JP has also taken great strides to mend the broken pieces of his past by fostering a good relationship with his mother.

    JP has planted the seeds of financial freedom for his son while handling the financial needs of his Agritech client in Canada. He is healing the trauma of his inner child by creating a better future for his child.

    JP’s story is just one of many OFS stories that inspire us to keep doing what we do. Want to hear more? Check out Aron’s story for a fun read on websites, tattoos, motorcycles, and everything in between.
