Many people in their 40’s and above message us, afraid that they don’t have it in them anymore to work online. Some even asked us if it was possible to hide their age from their profile.
Hence the question, “Does Age Matter When Applying for a Virtual Assistant Job?”
The answer is ONE BIG NO.
As long as you’re legally allowed to work, age shouldn’t be a factor if you want to be a virtual assistant. Age is a much less factor compared to these qualities:
1. Skills
If you have the skills to do the job, why in the world not? Young applicants may be more tech-savvy. But you have the skills that don’t require software aid. Don’t underestimate the current skills you have.
2. Discipline and work ethic
Many younger applicants have good work ethic. But experience is still the best teacher. You have the experience that gave you the discipline to get the job done. You have the work ethic developed from years of employment. These are qualities you will need, especially if you have a job where you can’t see your boss.
3. Communication Skills
Good communication isn’t intuitive. It’s something you develop over time. It’s not that easy to adjust to different bosses or teammates. You learn that by trial and error and the willingness to adjust.
4. Willingness to Be Trained
If you don’t have the skills for online work yet, but you’re willing to be trained, that’s what counts. If you were able to create an onlinejobs.ph despite your kids snickering at you, then you’re brave enough to learn and start something new.
5. Asking for Help
You might think that’s not a big deal. However, not everyone is willing to ask for help. Not everyone can swallow their pride. It doesn’t matter if you’re asking for help from your boss, teammates, or friends. But learning to ask for help is essential. It shows that getting the job done is more important to you than your pride.
Are these qualities exclusive to a specific age group? No.
Is belonging to the tech age an advantage? Yes, of course!
But being a virtual assistant isn’t just about being a tech pro. Everybody has positive qualities that can be helpful for work and life. As long as you remain positive and have the genuine want to help a client and his business, you’ll be the perfect virtual assistant, even if you’re a “Tito” or “Tita.” ?

Hi
Hello, how can I help you today?
Hi! I signed up with onlinejobs.ph about two days ago, and I was wondering if there is any alternative to having an FB account for ID proofing. You see, I had maintained an FB account since 2011 then deactivated/closed it early 2016. FB doesn’t work for me because I think (i may be biased in saying this) a lot of people just use it as a platform to boast and show-off and sometimes post comments and share thoughts and greetings, even to people they live with at home (so no need to post it on FB), and many other things. Instead, I have a Linked-In account. So, can my Linked-In account be used in place of FB? If so, how do I go about it? And why is it that the website itself doesn’t have a “Help” link available? Lastly, how can I improve my ID Proof number? Anxiously waiting for some help . . . and many thanks!
ID Proof is about providing lots of information to help determine your identity. If you only provide a small amount of honest information, then you’ll have a low ID trust score.
Make sure that you have everything filled out…..facebook url, government id, picture, skill descriptions, etc. The more information that you provide, the easier it is for an employer to determine that you are who you say you are. Your ID proof score will be higher too. If you don’t have an Facebook profile, you can scan and email us 2 valid IDs to verify your identity.
After updating your profile, the ID Proof score does not get updated right away, but will be automatically rechecked by the site in a day or so.
Hi, I’m 17 years old turning 18 this year and a senior high student, but I have an experienced in Data entry job, my previous job was data entry and it takes for almost 5 months. Is it okay to use my school ID as an ID proof? Thanks
Yes. But since you are turning 18, I think it would also be a good idea if you also start getting your SSS/Philhealth or voter’s ID. It will help you in the long run.
Thanks
Hey Kent, may I ask you a question if you don’t mind? Are you already hired by a company in onlinejobs.ph?

Hi, I’m a 17 year old Senior High School Student. I was wondering if I qualify as a part-timer in an online job. My Technical, English, and Writing skills are good enough for a working environment. I really want to commit to this since I’m going to help my fam without neglecting my studies. Do I have a chance in qualifying? Thanks in advance for the reply.
Hi Drew!
Thanks for your interest. Given you skills, yes, you do qualify but we strongly suggest you finish schooling first. Focus on your studies for now so you can do full-time work (and get a better salary) in the future.
Hello. I just started doing my job search here. I would like to know about the ID score. If zero is the lowest and I got 12, what then is a high ID score? What does my ID 12 score mean?
ID Proof is about providing lots of information to help determine your identity. If you only provide a small amount of honest information, then you’ll have a low ID trust score.
Make sure that you have everything filled out…..facebook url, government id, picture, skill descriptions, etc. The more information that you provide, the easier it is for an employer to determine that you are who you say you are. Your ID proof score will be higher too.

Hello sir, I’m a 14-year-old student who wants to work at least part-time or for freelance. I already have experience based on writing stories and blogs through profit-free exposure. I saw that a previous commenter has told you that they are in a similar situation like mine, however, most of the people who read my blogs have told me that I should write for a profession. Am I qualified?
Hi Leo!
It’s great that you already have some skills and experience with online work. However, we strongly encourage that you finish your studies first before you apply. That way you can focus on your work full-time and you’ll have more skills, making it easier for you to find online work.
Hello Sir/Madam..
I’m a 16 year old student and i want to work part-time. I already have a great experience on writing articles , stories , creating web pages , marketing ,poems on different languages posting ads on social media and many more stuffs. I already did this type of jobs some places and also i have my page on Facebook where likes are increasing day by day .. I really want to try this opportunity. Am i qualified and allowed to do job?
Hi Tash!
It’s great that you already have experience. But we strongly recommend that you finish school first before applying for a job. That way you can focus and gain more skills that would allow you to get a better paying job.
Hi!
Am I allowed to take summer job in here? Also I have another question… Am I allowed to find job even though I am just 14 years old?
It’s allowed but we strongly encourage you that finish your studies before applying for an online job. If you don’t have a lot of skills or work experience, it won’t be easy. Once you finish school, you would have more skills, making it even easier for you to find a job.
can i work even though im16?
Technically yes but it would be better if you wait until you finish school. Working, even part-time, could distract you from your studies. And your prospects would be much better once you graduate and gain the skills you need to do online work.
Hi Julia,
I like your site, the design is very functional. I am a 50-year-old business manager that had a bad stroke of luck with my last company. I have been applying for a lot of your job postings but I don’t know if the employer is even receiving my application. There has been no feedback/response from any employer. I know I am very much capable to do the jobs for the virtual assistant but I don’t know what is wrong. I really need an income paying job right now. I have been out of work for the last 6 months. Here is a link to my CV can you tell me is wrong. I think a Home base job is what I need to take care of my daughter that just turned 3.

Hope you can help me on this.
