Hay! I'm Pat/Patrick

I am a fresh graduate stepping into a new journey Online as your next Newbie Virtual Assistant.

In 2019, it was my first time as an intern to work in a private company which lead me a glimpse of a corporate working environment.

This year, I've fulfilled my dream to graduate on my 4-year course as a management student and start another chapter in my journey in life.

In the past months, I've worked as an intern in a corporate government agency, which has increased my confidence in my capability to hone current skills and learn new ones, as well as how work gets done on a next level.

I was assigned to a medical screening office, where I managed to improve my self-esteem and communicate with a very diverse group of people.

As an intern working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., I was lucky enough to have a healthy environment where your so-called officemates and colleagues are very approachable and chill at work. With the guidance of our supervisor, we manage to help and perform 50% of their duties in order for them to focus on their screenings and evaluations of the members of the agency.

It was hard in the first few weeks, but I manage to get the hang of it. Especially, we were the first batch of students that were allowed to have a face-to-face training this new normal.

From the perspective of working in the office, we are a group of 4 interns per department deployed, and I commonly interact with people. Some of the tasks being done during my training were:

-Providing initial interviews to members who are in queue.

-Assisting or reminding members of their requirements for the submission of documents.

-Perform data entry on the company's system app.

-Perform daily workflows. (Stamping, requesting to sign a document, Xeroxing a copy, etc.)

-Managing Emails (Email requests for evaluation, scanning, and recording of documents)

-Document Filing

Now, in order to get things done and step on the surface to work as a freelancer.

On my free time, I watch free online courses where I will improve my skills in a more technical space. Since I have a competitive knowledge with Microsoft Apps, Video/Photo editing software's which were my hobbies that I got interested in in my student life. I've managed to explore working to improve my skills using platforms like WordPress, Wix, Google Apps, Zapier, ConvertKit Calendly and Canva.

Tasks I can perform with proficiency:

• Web Creation/ Web Content Management

• Email Management

• Email Automation

• Calendar Management

• Administrative task (Word, Spreadsheet, PowerPoint)
