I got 2 job offers with the help of The Skillmates' training and tips in sending cover letter. 😊 Thanks again.

Good morning, Classmates! I just landed a job just this morning. Thank you and thanks to my classmates and batchmates for referring the company to me.

Camille Blanca

I just want to thank Romie and appreciate her. After 2 rejections on Upwork, I got approved with her help. 10 seconds (Upwork approval) is real.

I got hired! I can't believe it. The Skillmates' coach and classmates' encouragement really helped. Super thank you especially to Romie because I was able to take pride of what I have learned from our lessons. Goodbye corporate (in-office) word, finally!

Good evening Skillmates! I just landed a job this morning and I'm so grateful to this group and Ms. Romie for accepting me, especially to Ms. Yayie who I thought was an Australian on the phone call.

Adine Angbengco

I am super happy because Upwork approved my profile. Shoutout to our group leader, Ms. Yani dela Rosa-Ebal. Thank you to the whole Skillmates and especially to Ms. Romie. I've learned a lot from all your tutorials. Glory to God!

Hi Classmates! I just want to share my small win yesterday. I just got hired by my 2nd client on Upwork. I am his first VA. I'm super excited because the client is super kind and it makes me super motivated to know that I am his first VA. Thank you, Romie Carillo!

The tasks are very challenging especially for newbies like me. But the way Ms. Romie explained it makes me more motivated to continue moving forward, no matter how "alien" it is to me. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
