After getting married and moving to Japan, everything was new to me. Language, culture as well as people. I felt as I was lost somewhere. Most of the time I was indoor because of my husband s busy schedule at work and I rarely spent time outside. This was really starting to bother me and at one point I nearly went through a phase of depression being alone and unoccupied. When things started to get from bad to worse I lucky got a job offer as a Virtual assistant through the internet.

I work from the comfort of my home and according to my time flexibility. This is a rewarding and a challenging job to start your career.
