Ask any RemoteStaff.com.ph contractor and they’ll tell you that there’s absolutely no reason not to find professional satisfaction and fulfillment from a home based career. In fact, Filipino Professionals consider offshore work as a great new way to broaden their career options. Here’s what some Filipino remote staff would like to say:
Although it’s a comfortable and stress-free setup, there are many responsibilities that go with it too, like, you continue to work on building your employer’s trust and confidence in what you can do. Day after day, you should prove that you are worth it, and you’re doing great even if they cannot see you. And this can be achieved thru consistent communication, top level output, abiding in their rules and processes, and on time submission of deliverables.
For you to grow in this kind of working environment, you need to constantly learn and study on your own, and train yourself with the best available materials you can get. Thru this, you will bloom in your independence - and that’s the best thing you can achieve by working from home.

At first, I thought working from home is less stressful and more easygoing but I was very wrong with my perception. My job as a Senior Web Designer is not at all easy but very challenging. Challenging because I was always pushed to my limits…limits in my designing. But what I like most is that I was given a free hand to be more creative with my design and hone my skills even more.

Working from home just eliminates the unnecessary stress-contributing factors in life, professionally speaking. And the highlight is "there’s no place like home."

Phone Customer Support Staff Davao City, Philippines
Working from home has many advantages. There’s less stress. I can save huge amounts of time on the commute everyday. I can be available in emergencies. I can cook my own food and eat better. I can concentrate on my work more and therefore be more productive. In my previous work, if we’re having problems in the office, I really need to go to the office in order to fix those problems even on a Sunday, but now I can solve it here in my room and have more time for doing other important things.
Roy
Web Developer Cebu City, Philippines
I don’t have to wake up and allot several hours for preparation and commute to cope with my schedule. Therefore, it’s easier to save money and manage stress. This kind of scenario offers a lot of disadvantages as well, like, it’s more difficult to collaborate with my team-mates since seeing the real thing and gestures aids a lot in absorbing the ideas of a member who is explaining it. That is why, it is crucial for me to think outside the box to cope with the demand and accomplish all the tasks given to me.

Remote Staff has helped me find exactly what I was looking for – a work from home career that is challenging, fresh, lets me be creative! Best of all, my Australian client is absolutely wonderful!
As an advanced SEO specialist for Remote Staff, the more relaxed work environment enables me to focus and concentrate better on my campaigns – giving way to more productive end results. Working from your own home eliminates the hassle of interacting with annoying co-workers. Moreover, I can do what I do best even while I’m in my pyjamas!
Daghang Salamat! (Many thanks!)

SEO Specialist Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines
I love what I do here! Working for RemoteStaff has given me a fulfilling career while working from home. Not only did I learn to manage my time effectively, working with highly skilled individuals gifted with excellent talent also makes me learn something new everyday!
Becoming a Remote Staff independent contractor is the perfect work set up for professionals who want to further their careers but are tired of the corporate jungle. Imagine learning from your colleagues and getting paid a competitive corporate while working from the comforts of your own home!
Grace
Marketing Assistant Davao City, Philippines
Before joining RemoteStaff, I was a working mom who dealt with guilt daily for having to leave her child in the care of someone I pay to attend to his needs. I used to work in an office an hour’s commute from home. And, as if the rising costs of transportation were not depressing enough, it was equally disappointing to realize that my earnings were getting spent on frivolous things like designer coffee or the latest fashion trends in order to keep up with the corporate image.
With RemoteStaff, I no longer battle apocalyptic weather during a typhoon only to be told work has been cancelled...I no longer break into a panic when news of a transport strike is announced. My earnings are not wasted in trying to comply with a corporate dress code. Best of all, I am still physically able to look after my child even while locked inside my home office!
RemoteStaff compensates me for the quality of my work & doesn’t put a premium on how good I look. RemoteStaff gives me the best of both worlds: I have a gratifying career that has eradicated time otherwise wasted on long commutes and morning preparations.
Apreel
Website Publishing Coordinator Antipolo City, Philippines
Working at home gives me peace of mind. I don’t have to worry bout my family because I’m with them 24/7. There’s no reason for me not to report for work or be late because my work station is just a few feet away. I can make the most out of my 8-hour shift and meet my clients’ expectations at the same time.
It’s a great feeling knowing these people place their full trust in me inspite them not having seen or met me – but the even greater feeling is being able to prove that I’m worth it at the end of the day.

Thanks to RemoteStaff I have now a wonderful and challenging homebased career! At last my dream job is not a dream anymore...

What people say about Think Innovations - Remote Staff labour hire service
"Virtual office becomes a reality"
"Small businesses are starting to take advantage of cheap overseas labour by outsourcing work such as marketing, web design and office administration. Budding entrepreneurs say that thanks to the internet, they have been able to source white collar workers from overseas at a significantly lower cost than in Australia."

“RemoteStaff.com.au searched and found me an an offshore professional assistant to work remotely with me, who met my criteria based on my job description I gave to them. I can tell you it was the best thing I have done. Now my remotestaff assistant puts my videos live on the website, does my SEO work on the website and is teaching me things along the way as well. All my websites, blog’s and social marketing efforts online are up to date. Anytime I need help on a new task she is there ready and waiting. She is dedicated to my work and does an absolutely fantastic job. I know that I am also making a difference to her life as she is a single Mum with a daughter. So knowing that I am supporting her to be able to work professionally from home and be there for her daughter is a good feeling.
She is online each day with Skype and email and Remote Staff keep track of her work and hours all on my behalf. It took me about two weeks to settle in with having her set-up and now she pretty much runs a lot of my work. I actually feel a lot freer again and have more time for my kids and more time to sleep.

“I use a staff member from Remote Staff who’s currently in Taiwan, but who began working with me when she was in the Philippines. I also use a virtual assistant in Brisbane, and I am based in Perth with clients around Australia, in New Zealand, the US, the UK and South Africa. I am a truly global business!
When launching Home Biz Chicks I knew that I would require virtual assistance as I was three months pregnant. I wanted to ensure that service for members continued smoothly when I went on maternity leave (Sept 09). I also didn’t want the hassle of hiring staff and dealing with staff issues – plus I work from home so can’t cater for staff to be physically located with me. I also had trouble finding suitable contractors in Australia who were affordably priced. My main need was for help with online services as the majority of products and services are virtual – so I needed a hand with e-newsletters, web site maintenance and web page creation. I came across Remote Staff at a networking event, and have been pleasantly surprised by the service. I was able to go on maternity leave knowing the business would continue to operate without me and with no high overheads.
I had never considered using a virtual assistant from overseas before hand, but the price and professionalism afforded by Remote Staff made it a ‘no brainer’. My assistant, Kim, began with me in June of 2009. During that time she moved to Taiwan for studies and will return to the Philippines soon. The fact that she was able to move countries, while continuing to provide a great service for me was fantastic. I didn’t have to worry about losing her and then finding someone else. We can continue to operate together no matter where we are in the world – as long as you have an internet connection. “

“We have tried many design companies but they are expensive and slow. Since we have a full time designer with remotestaff.com.au now things have been moving a lot faster for us and we have been able to hire more staff in our Australian office. We have big plans over 2010 which includes hiring both more onsite employees and remote staff employees like programmers and a SEO manager with remotestaff.com.au.“

“Since engaging a telemarketer with RemoteStaff.com.au in November 2008, and after training one of its outsourced staff, Ness Consulting has built a sales pipeline totalling $2.3M for one of its clients; a great result given that this results come within the traditionally slower festive season.
Very happy with the solid controls put in place by RemoteStaff to ensure a positive outsourced staffing experience. My staff work together with me on a day to day basis and the experience is just like having the staff working from the next room, rather than in another country. “

“Over the next few years my intention is to use remotestaff.com.au as my back end offshore staffing supplier to run my entire New Business Development team via Remote Staff and all 24/7 IT Support. Right now we are contracting one staff.“
Fernando Paul

“My remote staff web designer allows me to deliver existing projects faster and easier. But now it also lets me enhance my services to deliver more to my clients, because i have hired someone with a bigger skill set and more experience. By hiring my offshore staff with Remotestaff.com.au I have double my return and saved 80 hours per month on my time each month.“

“I couldn’t afford to pay $45,000 to hire someone to answer the basic questions in a call centre capacity for my business. I was trying to save cost by employing Uni students but they didn’t want the work so I looked for other staffing options. I came across remotestaff.com.au and found for a fraction of the price (Approximately 12k a year) I was able to hire someone overseas who doesn’t have the same opportunities that we take for granted, she was hard-working, diligent and very friendly to our customers at levels you seldom see in customer service these days.“
“Bringing my VA (Virtual assistant) on board has allowed me to sell my CV writing service and offer a better employment service to my clients, in turn helping more Australians get employed. Thanks to my assistant I have more time to focus on marketing and increasing my brand awareness whilst my remotestaff employee holds the fort and deals with all the calls and questions. The feedback I’ve received from my clients about my assistant has been fantastic!“
Tom Anusic APEC Sales Director http://www.cvgraduate.com.au
“I just transitioned from another outsourcing company that placed with me a legal assistant that supposedly had 3 years of experience and I was paying twice the price of what it being charged by Remote Staff . Remote Staff placed with me a far superior assistant who not only has greater abilities to the other outsourcing company's staff member, but the Remote Staff member has superior language skills to those of many of the local job applicants.
Keep up the good work!
Best regards,

“I’ve had many interesting experiences with Chris J over the years; experiences that let you get to know the quality of the man and his soul. I’ve seen him not panic when he was in the cockpit of my plane when it caught on fire. I’ve seen him jogging on a beach with a smile on his face just days after a brain tumour operation. Whatever Chris J may teach or offer you will be useful, but it’s the character of the man I
most admire, and in due course you will too.”
Peter Bond $1.5 Billion dollar LINC Energy company chief, Peter Bond,

A Leading Australian broadcaster from 2UE Radio interviewed Chris J a few years ago on his talk show and introduced Chris as “An Amazing young man who can inspire”.

"I have to confess I have been unbelievably impressive working as a sub contractor with Remote Staff. Not to be a suck-up (excuse my term) but REALLY..my Remote Staff experience is just the most satisfying job experience I have ever had. I never experienced a delay with my payroll which is the very,very important. The in-house staff are very (virtually) approachable, totally an open-door management policy.
Having a VA job seems to be an unfulfilling job for some because you just got to stay home and sit in front of your computer, click that mouse, type something, call someone to sell something..It's true I get to do all that (not yet on hard core selling though) but it's not at all unfulfilling or a no-brainer. In fact, it's challenging and if you think you need a "chill-ax"(slang: chill-relax) job then Remote Staff is not for you..Basically the whole scenario is..This job is your typical work in the corporate world or call center industry but you just don't get to travel long hours to get to your job because it's right there, within an arm's reach..All I am saying is..work standards should not diminish when you get a REMOTE STAFF job..In fact, you should even find more ways to "schmack (is that an actual word?!) yourself in the face" and motivate yourself to meet or go beyond your client's expectations. Your client has a business to run and most of the time you will be left on your own..And that is were the dilemma starts..when you are alone..what will you do? "sleep" on the job? or have the integrity to live up to the work standards you claim you possess during your job interview?"

"Remote Staff has been the best kept secret around. I'm so glad my competitors don't know about it! We hired a personal assistant and she has been fantastic. We are now hiring more staff as well. It's amazing how talented the staff are that are working with us now. They are so professional and have a very strong work ethic. More importantly, they truly do care about our success, and that is the most value of all. They are reliable and task oriented, exactly what you want in a staff person. Remote Staff is a world-class company and their staff they have access to are second to none."
