Notable Quotes:

* First as a newbie, parang nangangapa ka pa how to start and it doesn’t really hurt to ask questions especially from those who are in the, in this industry.

* And I would say patience and prayers talaga. Patience, kase hindi naman kapag nag apply ka yun na, makukuha mo na yung job. There are a lot of people who are applying in the same job, hindi lang ikaw. So, just be patient and samahan mo na rin ng hard work at prayers. Prayers is really important. I truly believe na if it’s not really for you, then it’s not for you.

* When you have to find options, find options, research and at least be familiar with. Right now, especially sa ngayon, be familiar with mga e-commerce, especially dun sa mga videos ni Sir Jason it would really help. Kase yun din, dun ako nagsimula at yun ang nakatulong sakin talaga.

* I don’t really worry much about that if I were you. Kase to tell you frankly, hindi rin ako tech savvy. In fact, I remember my first time even before, even after na nag call center ako. Hindi ako magaling talaga sa computer. In fact, I don’t have any computer skills na super bongga. I just browse, just like a regular person. Nag fe-facebook ako, nag yu-YouTube, ganun lang talaga ang basic na alam ko sa computer. So, for those of you who does not have any computer skills, you don’t really have to worry. Kase kung iha-hire kayo hindi naman ibibigay nang employer nyo yung trabaho nyo. Of course, you will have trainings, if you have questions do not hesitate to ask and it would be best if you’re going to ask instead na mawala yung job.

* For first timers, I would suggest na try going to sites like Sir Jason’s. Kase it really helps a lot of first timers. Andaming first timers na natulungan dahil dun sa site na yun. Also, please research more hindi yung, although may sites talaga na tumutulong kung paano mag start for a freelancing. But it would be best as well na mag research kayo and then try to find something na suitable sa inyo.

* If ever, cause most of them would complain na narereject talaga yung application niyo or walang nag rerespond. Just focus on your goal, yun lang. And then think of this as a challenge and just don’t give up on that challenge kasi lahat naman tayo nag kakaroon ng problem, lahat naman tayo nagkakaroon ng failures. Nobody’s perfect but what you just need to remind yourself is its just part of your trials it’s part of the job kumbaga. It’s part of your life and just don’t give up on it and prayers will do really good.
