From Dream to Reality: How One Filipino Virtual Assistant Found Success with Sphere Rocket Jobs

September 16, 2025

Jeachelle’s story proves that you don’t need a diploma or BPO experience to succeed as a Filipino Virtual Assistant. With the help of Sphere Rocket Jobs’ free job-matching platform, she connected with a U.S. business owner (Engagement Partner) and started her Work From Home career. What makes her journey even more inspiring is that Sphere Rocket Jobs continued to provide training, resources, and community support even after she landed her first client. This blog shares how reliability, consistency, and willingness to learn can turn everyday skills into high-paying remote opportunities.

The Struggle Many Aspiring VAs Face

Have you ever dreamed of earning in USD while working from the comfort of your home in the Philippines? For many aspiring Virtual Assistants (VAs), that dream feels far away. The doubts start piling up:

  • “Do I need a diploma?”
  • “Do I need BPO experience?”
  • “Is this even legit?”

The truth is, many Filipinos give up before they even start because they think remote opportunities are only for a select few.

But stories like Jeachelle’s prove otherwise. Her journey as a Virtual Assistant shows that with the right support system, training, and community, everyday Filipinos can thrive in remote work no diploma or expensive fees required.

Jeachelle’s Story: A Journey of Perseverance

“Sphere Rocket really helped me in my VA journey; they didn’t stop until I landed my first client. What I love most is that even now that I already have a client, Sphere still provides training and makes sure to stay connected with their VAs. That’s why whenever my friends ask why I chose to work with an agency, I just say, ‘Why not?’ Thank you so much, Sphere Rocket fam!!” — Jeachelle

At first, Jeachelle had doubts like many aspiring Filipino Virtual Assistants. She wondered if her skills would be enough. But through Sphere Rocket Jobs, she found a safe pathway to get matched with a U.S.-based business owner.

Even better? The support didn’t stop once she landed her first client. With continued training and community check-ins, Jeachelle was never left alone in her remote career journey.

Why Training and Community Make All the Difference

One of the hardest parts about starting as a Virtual Assistant in the Philippines is feeling like you’re doing it all on your own.

Sphere Rocket Jobs removes that fear by offering:

  • Free training resources—to sharpen both beginner and advanced VA skills.
  • Ongoing mentorship and support—because questions don’t stop after you get a client.
  • A real VA community—where Filipino VAs can share wins, struggles, and tips.

This is what made Jeachelle feel confident. She knew that no matter what, she had access to coaching, resources, and a supportive VA community.

Question for you: Would you feel more confident if you knew you had a community backing you up while you learn remote skills?

The Power of Matching, Not Hiring

Here’s where things get interesting and where compliance matters.

Sphere Rocket Jobs is not a recruiter or employer. That means:

  • Clients, not Sphere Rocket, make the hiring decision.
  • VAs are independent professionals, not employees of Sphere Rocket.
  • There are no fees for applicants. You keep your full rate.

Instead, Sphere Rocket Jobs is a free job-matching platform. Think of it like a bridge: Filipino Virtual Assistants on one side, U.S.-based business owners on the other. Sphere Rocket builds the bridge so both sides can find each other safely.

This is how Jeachelle got matched with her first U.S. client. It wasn’t about “being hired by Sphere Rocket.” It was about being connected to the right opportunity.

From Hobby to High-Paying Skills

Many Filipino VAs, like Jeachelle, don’t start out with years of experience. Some come from hobbies or everyday skills they already have.

For example:

  • Love posting on social media? → That’s a start for Social Media Management.
  • Good at organizing tasks at home? → You can be an Executive Assistant VA.
  • Like creating designs for fun? → Canva and design skills are in demand.

Sphere Rocket Jobs helps VAs turn hobbies into professional skills. By providing training and real-world examples, they make it clear how small talents can grow into big opportunities.

Why U.S. Clients Value Skills Over Degrees

One of the biggest fears aspiring VAs have is not having the “right background.”

But here’s the truth: U.S. business owners (Engagement Partners) are less concerned about diplomas and more focused on results.

What do they really look for?

  • Reliability: Can you meet deadlines?
  • Communication: Can you clearly express ideas?
  • Consistency: Will you show up every day ready to work?
  • Willingness to Learn: Are you open to new tools and tasks?

That’s why Jeachelle succeeded she proved she could deliver. And that’s why many other Filipino VAs thrive even without formal experience.

What Roles Can Filipino Virtual Assistants Do?

The opportunities are more diverse than many realize. Through Sphere Rocket Jobs, Filipino VAs can be matched with roles like:

  • Executive Assistants
  • Social Media Managers
  • Marketing Support Specialists
  • Video Editor
  • Real Estate VAs
  • Customer Support

This wide range means there’s almost always a place for different skill sets. Whether you’re creative, organized, or tech-savvy, there’s an opportunity to use your skills and get paid in USD.

Why Stories Like Jeachelle’s Matter

For many Filipinos, remote work feels out of reach. The fear of scams, the lack of guidance, and the confusion around where to start often stop people before they even try.

That’s why testimonials like Jeachelle’s are so powerful. They prove that:

  • You don’t need a diploma to succeed.
  • You don’t need BPO experience to start.
  • You don’t have to do it alone.

With Sphere Rocket Jobs’ free job-matching platform, training resources, and supportive community, the path to Work From Home is clearer than ever before.

Weekly Live Sessions for Aspiring VAs

To make things even better, Sphere Rocket Jobs hosts weekly livestreams with Clea and Myro at VA Buddies (every Thursday, 2–3 A.M. PHT).

These lives give aspiring Virtual Assistants the chance to:

  • Ask questions live
  • Hear real stories from Filipino VAs
  • Get tips on skills, confidence, and tools needed to succeed

This is another way Sphere Rocket Jobs stays connected with the VA community long after they join the Talent Pool.
