share with you top 5 questions that I
[85]
got from my previous virtual assistant
interviews and how to answer them plus
[91]
tips on how to prepare on your first
ever virtual assistant interview
[96]
interview question number 1 tell us more
about yourself remember not to say
[104]
what's already on your resume or
portfolio because the reason they're
[108]
asking you this is they want to know
more about you and not hear you say what
[114]
they've already read best answer would
be tell them at least two personal
[119]
things about you such as having two
beautiful kids and reading a book as
[125]
your pastime you may even tell them what
types of book you read and why and
[133]
and tell another two to three things
about what you have been doing the past
[138]
several days or months related to your
skills or personal development for
[145]
example most of the day I watch YouTube
tutorials to improve my skills and to
[152]
add knowledge I also prepare content for
my social media accounts to help build
[157]
my online presence and you know every
week I also listen to podcasts these are
[164]
the things that they know nothing about
you and they will appreciate it because
[169]
you have loosened up a bit and made
yourself more human by sharing these
[174]
things
[178]
interview question number two what made
you apply for this project I always hear
[185]
this never tell that you applied for
experience or just because you badly
[192]
need a job
no please no the best answer would be
[198]
emphasize that you carefully choose
which projects to apply to and you
[204]
applied for this certain project because
it's more than just experience for
[210]
example I don't usually apply to
projects that don't fit my skills and
[216]
personality so the reason why I apply
for this job is one because I think I
[224]
have the skills to make this project
successful and two I want to work with a
[229]
client who values teamwork and values
individual contributions interview
[236]
question number three what are your
strengths and weaknesses this is so
[241]
overused but that's because it makes
sense never say your weaknesses in a
[249]
literal way best answer would be share
with them top three strengths and one
[255]
thing you need to improve for example I
am confidently beautiful of course not
[261]
that one this one well I must say I am
good in product research that's because
[268]
I am able to find sellable products and
reliable suppliers from Alibaba I am
[275]
also good in product descriptions I can
create descriptions that are SEO
[280]
friendly and are easy and friendly
enough for potential buyers to
[285]
understand emphasizing benefits more
than features ecommerce aside I also
[291]
love talking to people
that's why customer service is also a
[295]
role that I enjoy most providing
solutions and fixing errors is a
[301]
fulfillment for me but I also have one
thing to improve not really a weakness
[307]
I'd like to improve my graphic design
skills because
[311]
as of the moment I am using canva for
graphic designs and I am very interested
[316]
to learn more about how to use Photoshop
and other advanced graphic design
[321]
software interview question number four
where do you see yourself five years
[327]
from now take note that clients ask you
this to know if you're the long-term
[335]
type of person or not never say you are
not sure the best answer would be to
[342]
share your aspirations and goals in life
let's say but for one I'm seeing myself
[349]
working with you for the next five years
if given a chance but personally I see
[355]
myself financially stable in the next
five years giving and being able to
[362]
provide the necessities of my family
while having savings on the side I will
[369]
for sure be a virtual assistant for
long-term clients
[375]
interview question number five do you
have questions for us they ask this
[381]
because they want to see how interested
you are best answer would be yes I
[387]
actually have some questions for you may
I know if there is a required hours for
[395]
this project should this not be
mentioned in the project or you may also
[400]
ask how long have you been in the
industry what were your struggles and
[405]
what are your plans for your business so
now let's proceed with some of my tips
[411]
on how to prepare for a Virtual Interview
first things first
[415]
do a background check check the
company's background to have enough
[422]
knowledge just in case they ask you
second would be prepare questions about
[427]
the company third wear something semi
formal not just a shirt you may wear
[433]
something with collar or what you usually
wear when you go for an interview for
[439]
ladies and women put some light makeup
on fourth be prepared thirty minutes
[445]
before the interview because there are
clients who are ready earlier than the
[454]
scheduled time so it's best to be
prepared
[456]
fifth relax and be confident
make sure your tummy is full so that
[463]
you'll be mentally alert
remember our stomach is connected to our
[468]
brain so I guess that's it I hope you
learned something today and if you did
[473]
please give it this give this a like
share your thoughts and share this with
[480]
your friends till next episode
