Best community for virtual/remote employment

Business Outlook

Pros

Athena is a permanent work-from-home employment that provides Executive Assistants to CEOs, founders, and up and comers globally. It is unique compared to other virtual employment as it has a strong community that supports us to become better in what we do, there are coaches who will guide you in every challenging situation, and readily available tools to continuously enrich your knowledge and skills.

Cons

Only a few would make it in Athena as some of my referrals who are also experienced virtual assistants and tenured agents in the BPO did not pass. I re-applied as I want to get in and was able to pass on my 2nd try.
