A Fruitful Work Experience:
Students from Different Schools in Panabo City Participate Internship with MoVA Through SPES Program
My Own VA (MoVA) was invited to take part in Panabo City’s Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) last April 20, 2018. The interns came from Maryknoll College of Panabo, Northlink Technical College and several public schools in the city. Their schools required them to undergo on the job training so SPES, through PESO Panabo, conducted a screening and interviewed each of them to make sure their skills and interests can suffice the demands of MoVA’s clients. Most of the participants were IT students and have sufficient background in computer work. Though MoVA was more about admin support, management and graphic design, the interns still learned a lot during the two month program. casino888

by Jocelyn Fernandez in Benefits, General, Online Marketing
The Philippines is a well-acknowledged country when it comes to the workforce especially in the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) industry. In fact, ESEAN Briefing (2017) indicated that the Philippines beat Mumbai as the “2nd ranking BPO destination”. In addition, Global Innovation Inc. (2017) phrased in one of their articles that “the country (Philippines) remains to be an attractive place for investors to outsource some of their services.” A number of studies have also supported these acknowledgments which leads us to the question “What makes the Philippines a competent country in the BPO industry?”

by darrel_seo in Admin Support, Human Resource, Virtual Assistant
So you are a company executive managing your company mostly alone or with a co-founder. You start off being able to do your tasks well, calling clients, taking care of customer service, and keeping track of bookkeeping by doing just fine.

by darrel_seo in Admin Support, Online Marketing, Services, Virtual Assistant
The demand for virtual assistants has never been at its highest demand until now. Companies, brands, and even small businesses have realized the importance of hiring a virtual assistant to increase productivity and ensure the cash flow.

by Richard Cantrall in Admin Support, Services, Tips, Typography
I’m often asked to proofread a document only to find after wading through a mishmash of muddled text, that the document clearly needs a major rewrite. At other times, I’m asked to edit a document when it’s clear that only minor grammatical errors need correcting. Proofread or edit – which is called for?
