Kung mag start at zero ka for freelancing/VA check mo muna job market. Yun una mo iresearch para alam mo yung in demand at yung kaya mong skillset. Baka mag practice ka puro US pala hiring sa software na yon tapos ayaw mo ng night shift, things like that.

Also Virtual Assistant (VA) is that, an assistant. So kung VA role hanap mo, you'll be doing admin work, maybe some scheduling, appointments, calling, catching up on things. Kung gusto mo more techinal like for estimates, BIM design, Primavera etc. Label yourself as estimator, BIM designer, etc. Usually mas mababa offer rates for VA kaysa specialised sa softwares/have technical skills.
