Incoming 3rd year next month currently wala pa din akong solid project lahat is in progress. these past few days sobrang down ko dahil feeling ko wala akong progress, currently yung techstack ko is Typscript, Nodejs, Tailwind, MonggoDb at minimal experience sa supabase. After ng project na ginagawa ko ngayon which is e-commerce multi-store feature plan ko is mag aral na ng python at postgre since fullstack and data analyst ang aim ko.

For a 3rd year cs student ok na ba ito since andami kong nakikita na school mates ko andami nilang ibat ibang programming language na alam which is feeling ko left behind ako sakanila kaya wala akong gana gumawa ng project mentally drain na ako.

Questions:

° ilan projects ang ideal sa job application

°ilang programming language ba dapat ang aralin ko .

1 week na po akong depress about sa current situation ko nag feeling ko is sobrang behind ko na sa mga classmates ko wala akong proper project na nagawa lahat ay on progress. Isa pa sa dahilan nito is yung techstack ko na parang wala na akong ibang natutunan currently ts,nodejs, monggoDb, tailwind lang ako habang yung mga nakikita ko na school mates ay may 3 programming language na alam. Ngayon tinatapos ko palang ang pinaka unang official side project ko na e-commerce website na multi-store feature using(ts,nodejs,postgre).

Pa advice na din po kung ano pang magandang tech stack na idadag since plano ko is fullstack/backend, data analyst.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to break into freelancing, particularly as a Virtual Assistant (VA), and I'd like to get advice from those who have already established themselves in the industry.

For context, I have over 1 year of experience serving as a Secretariat member in our school organization. My responsibilities included managing online documents, organizing and maintaining files, taking Minutes of the Meeting (MOTM), coordinating administrative tasks, and helping manage events and online operations.

My skills include:

- Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)

- Familiarity with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Forms, Calendar)

- Experience creating AI automation workflows

- Knowledge of Front-End Development and experience building web projects using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and TypeScript

- Canva for basic graphic design and content creation

- Basic video editing using CapCut

- Document management and online collaboration

I believe these skills are transferable to the VA industry, but I'm finding it challenging to land my first client. I'd appreciate any advice on how I can better position myself and stand out in a competitive market.

A few questions:

- Based on my background, which niche would you recommend?

- Would it be better to market myself as a General VA, Tech VA, or AI Automation VA?

- Which skills should I focus on improving?

- How did you land your first client?

Any advice, feedback, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
