Being VA means you are no longer an employee but a business owner whose main product is a service that has a deadline. I suggest to this person to put herself in the position of someone who paid to collaborate with a person tapos bigla nagka-emergency and their absence would affect the overall project outcome that will cost you not just money but can ruin a rapport with a client or coworker who trusted you to be on time. Whoever you are, remember you are selling a service. Leaving in the middle of a project will taint that service so be strategic and always be prepared when it happens. Learn to have back up plans.

Thinking of becoming a Virtual Assistant? đ¤ Wondering how to ask about leave policies during interviews?
I recently received a great question on my YouTube video, and it got me thinkingâthis is something many aspiring VAs could benefit from. So, Iâm sharing my thoughts here and hoping you all can chip in with advice for JM and others in the same situation.
JM, who has 15 years of corporate experience, is transitioning into the VA worldâa super exciting step! When it comes to his question about benefits like vacation or sick leave, it often depends on the client or company. Some full-time roles may offer these, but many freelance setups donât. My tip? During the interview, JM can professionally ask something like, âCould you share how leave or absences are typically handled for this role?â Itâs all about timing, confidence, and first focusing on showcasing your skills.
đĄ If you were in JMâs shoes, how would you approach this? Drop your advice in the commentsâyour tips could help so many others! đ
