Did you start volunteering or dive straight into paid work? Share your story!
I landed my first VA shift by walking into a GP clinic with a one-page resume around 3 pm and saying, “I can start with kennels today if you need” — they let me shadow two hours and hired me for weekends the next week; if you try it, wear scrubs and ask for a short paid working interview, though volunteering can be a good toe-in if they’re fully staffed. What city are you in?
