"I am currently working as a part-time Virtual Assistant for a Vancouver-based social entrepreneur who runs 7 brands all focusing on holistic health. I have been a Virtual Assistant for 2 years now, performing basic administrative tasks such as data scraping, social media posting and basic bookkeeping. However at this moment, I feel that I am ready to take on a more challenging role and have tougher responsibilities. Your job posting resonates with me, because I have long been looking to hold a remote position similar to the roles I held in the past.
Before I started working as a Virtual Assistant, I had experienced working in the BPO and shared service industries (law firm, serviced office spaces and clinical research) for 5 years. The positions I held were responsible for tasks such as bookkeeping, invoicing, customer service, email management, payment receipts and approvals, reports preparation and database management. Despite not finishing the college degree relevant to these positions, I was still able to practice my interest in these areas and work for these industries through my persistence and determination.
I loved being involved in all the areas I have mentioned above. Having worked in the finance department of these industries helped me improve my skills in database management, numerical analysis and customer interaction. Additionally, I have strongly developed my knowledge in MS Office programs such as Word, Excel and Outlook. I have also showcased my ability to quickly learn various CRM and ERP software in the past, although these were only company-specific.
