First Virtual Assistant Interview – Emotional Reactions and Q&A




I recently had my very first interview for a virtual assistant position, and let me tell you, it was an emotional rollercoaster. From nerves and anxiety to tears of joy, I experienced it all during that interview. The questions asked were both challenging and thought-provoking, leaving me feeling both competent and vulnerable at the same time.

The interview began with the usual introductions and small talk, but as soon as the questions started rolling in, my heart started pounding. The interviewer wasted no time in diving straight into the nitty-gritty of my skills and experience. They asked me about my previous work as a virtual assistant, my strengths and weaknesses, and how I would handle certain hypothetical situations.

One question that particularly caught me off guard was about a time when I had to deal with a difficult client. I had to think fast and come up with a specific example that demonstrated my ability to handle challenging situations with poise and professionalism. Another question that stumped me was about a time when I had to learn a new skill quickly to meet a deadline. It made me realize that I had more room for growth and improvement than I had originally thought.

As the interview went on, I found myself getting more and more emotional. The pressure of trying to impress the interviewer while also being true to myself was overwhelming. At one point, I even started to tear up as I shared a personal story about overcoming a major obstacle in my previous job. It was a moment of vulnerability that surprised me, but ultimately left me feeling relieved and empowered.

Despite the tears, I managed to answer all the questions to the best of my ability. The interviewer seemed impressed by my honesty and authenticity, and by the end of the interview, I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. I had survived my first virtual assistant interview, and I had come out of it stronger and more confident than before.

In the end, I learned that interviews are not just about showcasing your skills and experience, but also about showing your true self and being willing to open up and share your story. It may be nerve-wracking and emotional, but it is also a valuable opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

I may have cried during my virtual assistant interview, but I also smiled, laughed, and learned a lot about myself in the process. And for that, I am grateful.

    I only watch the first few minutes. I like your honesty on the job background mentioning you got laid off. Other Feedback, you can ommit unecessary words (I noticed this is common among filipinos to insert an extra word) e.g:
    "I'm very much excited about.." (you can remove "much")
    "..regarding about.." (you can remove "about")
    Hope that helps you or readers out there.
