I have no experience in working specifically related to being Virtual Assistant but I think being actively engaged on social media is a big help because somehow, I have experience in managing my personal social media accounts. I am a determined student who is now eager to explore my personal and professional growth, I really want to develop my skills that will contribute not only to my success but to team success. To be honest I am not so excellent in communicating in English but I am good at using digital tools that will help me to accomplish my tasks, I can say that high typing speed and copy pasting is one of my best skills as of now that I have no experience. I am confident headstrong on embracing new challenges and a dedication to delivering a quality of work while earning, no matter how much I earn as long as a little income that will help me to my financial.

Hi, everyone! My name in Agatha and I currently live in North Western Romania where I relocated after 11 years spent mostly in Southern Italy, 7, and in the UK, 4. I have more than 20 years of work experience in all of these countries, mostly in administrative assistance, HORECA and customer support. Since my return to the homeland I have been working on a project that is very dear to me, a hazelnut farm on 10 ha of land that is now in its first year, but this is a longterm project and  it will take 3 more years for it to produce income. So here I am looking for ways to make a living. I would very much like to use my voice, as I also sing in a band, so I landed in this place while I was searching for narrator jobs. I am fluent in Romanian, Hungarian, English and Italian, I speak French at a conversational level, all of these with native accent. I love camping in the wilderness in our camper van with our 2 dogs, motorcycle rides, music, movies and reading. Nice to meet you all!

Hello Tusar,

I looked over your profile and everything looks good. The first sentence in your overview/summary is exactly the thing to say to let clients now how you can help them. The only suggestion I have for your summary is to move the paragraph about work deliverables to the top and move the client satisfaction paragraph towards the bottom. The reason for this is because the work deliverables paragraph provides clients good information, and you want them to read it early in your summary. Clients often don't read entire summaries, so it's best to put good information up top. Like this:

Hello forum of Upwork, I'm newbie and so great if I found the first job.
I graduated and entered the workforce like many others. That's probably a typical introduction, haha 😄 
But for me, It's different. I have taken on various roles and positions, although I havent had the opportunity to travel around the world. However, I have learned how things work through my experiences. Exploring different regions within Viet Nam has been my way of life, and I am confident in introducing and planning a trip to Viet Nam for you.

I am extremely excited to embrak on independent work on the Upwork platform; it truly is an amazing. It would be a muatually beneficial partnership.

Help me, and you will receive more in return.
