get that job in this episode I'll share with you top 5 questions that I got from my previous virtual assistant interviews and how to answer them plus tips on how to prepare on your first ever virtual assistant interview interview question number 1 tell us more about yourself remember not to say what's already on your resume or portfolio because the reason they're asking you this is they want to know more about you and not hear you say what they've already read best answer would be tell them at least two personal things about you such as having two beautiful kids and reading a book as your pastime you may even tell them what types of book you read and why and and tell another two to three things about what you have been doing the past several days or months related to your skills or personal development for example most of the day I watch YouTube tutorials to improve my skills and to add knowledge I also prepare content for my social media accounts to help build my online presence and you know every week I also listen to podcasts these are the things that they know nothing about you and they will appreciate it because you have loosened up a bit and made yourself more human by sharing these things interview question number two what made you apply for this project I always hear this never tell that you applied for experience or just because you badly need a job no please no the best answer would be emphasize that you carefully choose which projects to apply to and you applied for this certain project because it's more than just experience for example I don't usually apply to projects that don't fit my skills and personality so the reason why I apply for this job is one because I think I have the skills to make this project successful and two I want to work with a client who values teamwork and values individual contributions interview question number three what are your strengths and weaknesses this is so overused but that's because it makes sense never say your weaknesses in a literal way best answer would be share with them top three strengths and one thing you need to improve for example I am confidently beautiful of course not that one this one well I must say I am good in product research that's because I am able to find sellable products and reliable suppliers from Alibaba I am also good in product descriptions I can create descriptions that are SEO friendly and are easy and friendly enough for potential buyers to understand emphasizing benefits more than features ecommerce aside I also love talking to people that's why customer service is also a role that I enjoy most providing solutions and fixing errors is a fulfillment for me but I also have one thing to improve not really a weakness I'd like to improve my graphic design skills because as of the moment I am using canva for graphic designs and I am very interested to learn more about how to use Photoshop and other advanced graphic design software interview question number four where do you see yourself five years from now take note that clients ask you this to know if you're the long-term type of person or not never say you are not sure the best answer would be to share your aspirations and goals in life let's say but for one I'm seeing myself working with you for the next five years if given a chance but personally I see myself financially stable in the next five years giving and being able to provide the necessities of my family while having savings on the side I will for sure be a virtual assistant for long-term clients interview question number five do you have questions for us they ask this because they want to see how interested you are best answer would be yes I actually have some questions for you may I know if there is a required hours for this project should this not be mentioned in the project or you may also ask how long have you been in the industry what were your struggles and what are your plans for your business so now let's proceed with some of my tips on how to prepare for a Virtual Interview first things first do a background check check the company's background to have enough knowledge just in case they ask you second would be prepare questions about the company third wear something semi formal not just a shirt you may wear something with collar or what you usually wear when you go for an interview for ladies and women put some light makeup on fourth be prepared thirty minutes before the interview because there are clients who are ready earlier than the scheduled time so it's best to be prepared fifth relax and be confident make sure your tummy is full so that you'll be mentally alert remember our stomach is connected to our brain so I guess that's it I hope you learned something today and if you did please give it this give this a like share your thoughts and share this with your friends till next episode
