Help What's, Where's, and How's of Working From Home coming from a BPO Company?

[nickoi]

Hi all,

May kapatid po ako bago lang nagka baby so kailangan ng bagong work with better pay. Galing po siya ng sa BPO companies.
Tanong ko lang po

1. Ano po pwede applyan na positions pwede sa kanya aside from Virtual Assistant?
   1. Ano usual responsibilities and qualifications na kailangan for a Virtual Assistant or other position you suggest?
   2. Ano po ang mga techniques para makakuha agad ng interview or job?
2. Interested din kapatid ko sa Video Editing or Photo/Image Editing pero di pa sya marunong, pero plano mag self-study.
   1. Anong level of competency or good enough portfolio kailangan before applying?
   2. As far as I know Web Design lang mejo long term employment, sa tingin ko may iba mga one-offs freelance like few edits lang end-of-contract na. So po ibang opportunities?
3. San maganda mag apply aside from OnlineJobs PH?
4. Anymore advice you can share?

Thank you po sa tutulong
