Here are my top 10 platforms that I usually visit for job hunting.

Virtual Assistants in the Philippines

OnlineJobs.ph

You can communicate with potential employers, have a complete profile, and send an application looking for work directly within the platform.

LinkedIn

That is where professional networking using LinkedIn comes in handy. As a virtual assistant, connecting to and sharing in the qualification with potential clients makes sense. Follow businesses, join groups, engage with influential people, and increase your visibility on LinkedIn.

Facebook

Virtual assistant jobs can be found within Facebook groups and sites. This is because businesses and entrepreneurs post their job openings directly within groups related to virtual assistance, freelance work, and specific industries. In joining relevant groups, you will immediately be introduced to many freelancers and potential clients, and keep up on job postings.

Upwork is one of the biggest freelance job marketplaces out there, with various jobs available in its database. Plenty of entry-level positions exist, and the formation of a profile is quite easy. Upwork provides safe, easy ways of payments, thorough job listing, and the possibility of applying to positions that interest and suit you.

Fiverr lets you customize packages and prices, and the UI is really user-friendly. It is great for VAs looking to offer specialized services.
