Leslie Baliong – Real Estate, Administrative Assistance

leslie-baliong-vaAn investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Being at the age of 43 doesn’t hinder me from learning and exploring new things. Age is just a number as they say, while learning is a nonstop experience until you breathe your last.

I’ve been a VA for more than 13 years now. With these long years of experience, I have learned to grow, mature, and appreciate the virtual life. It was challenging being a single mum of 2 kids but what matters most is that I’m able to provide for my family and my kids. I also get to spend time with them. Work and life balance is attainable in this virtual employment. It gives me an edge to be a hands-on mum and experience both the joys of working and being a homebody.

Then came the pandemic (COVID 19) and losing employment had been a global concern and I wasn’t exempt from it as companies closed both nationally and internationally. Nonetheless, I’m grateful for good health and now I am ready to get back to working after experiencing great loss in my family.

leslie-baliong-vaI want to grow and build relationships in a company that I work with, so I always make sure that I do my best and ask questions if I’m unsure. It’s been my philosophy that asking questions or confirming is not a sign of being weak or slow but being cautious. I feel I have achieved a great deal when my clients are satisfied with my work, and I always look for avenues to improve my skills. I would love to train more and explore my skill set until I can maximise my efforts. Corrections are very welcome for me as long as it helps me to improve my work ethics.

Now, I’m looking forward to the advancement of my career. Working as a Real Estate VA, Administrative VA, and Online English Teacher have been great avenues for me to learn things and improve my skills. I am willing to work on new tasks or the same tasks. I am knowledgeable in MS Office, Google Drive Docs, Calendar, Excel Sheets, PropertyMe, Price Finder, My Desktop, Outlook, Kunversion, Keyword Research, Dotloop, Basecamp, Clockify, Time Doctor and a few more.

I enjoy my hobbies of reading, listening to music, watching movies and Korean Dramas, swimming, random bonding with my family, traveling (which is halted due to this pandemic) – to name a few.
