Shiela and I get into the proper ways of hiring a Filipino Virtual Assistant. I was a guest on her show, Rockstar VA Podcast, which is where this episode is from. After graduating college, Shiela started teaching English as Second Language Teacher to foreign students.

Eventually, she turned her part-time writing gig into a full-time job. After some time, Shiela discovered the world of Virtual Assistance and Freelancing, as well as of all the opportunities that it had to offer.
