I have been working in data entry for almost 2 years and have a deep understanding of the various programs used in the industry. I am also highly organised and detail-oriented, which is essential for a role like this. My experience in data entry has also helped me to develop strong problem-solving skills, and I am confident that I could provide reliable solutions to any issues that may arise. I understand the importance of accuracy when it comes to data entry, and I am comfortable working with large volumes of data. I am also a fast typist and can quickly enter large amounts of data accurately.

Hi all. My name is Anoushae and I am a Psychology student located in Pakistan. Although I am just a student but have past practice of management, advisory, assistance, and most of all writing. Moreover, I can be quite helpful in work related to Psychology be it coaching, conselling, or even generally anything, along with which I also think of ghostwriting to be amazing. I am here on this forum to learn and gain experience for the practical life ahead so I look forward to be taught and advised by more skilled peers present here to guide me towards enhancemnt and improvement in life.

Hi Everyone,

I'm April from the Philippines. I have more than four years of customer service and technical support in the business process outsourcing industry. I was also a subject matter expert and product trainer of the previous account I handled in BPO.

I am new to freelancing and hoping to get some tips and tricks from this community. I would like to pursue a career in this industry to have more flexibility and achieve work-life balance. 

I have been doing my online research about being a freelancer and I am mindblown by the stories from members of this industry. I have the basic skills and am willing to learn more to excel in this career. 

 

Cheers!
