Hello, I'm Hariz Baluyut, but you can call me Hariz. In my previous job, I worked in lead generation and data mining, specifically for a rehabilitation website service. My primary task was to identify the right contact person, and we utilized various tools like Hunter.io and NinjaOutreach for verification. We managed emails and ensured positive follow-ups with clients. Additionally, I have nearly 5 years of experience in HR (human resources). In this role, I was involved in the recruitment process, handling tasks such as recruiting, hiring, and training new staff for specific departments. I managed 201 files for both newly hired and existing employees. Responsibilities also included payroll management, recording hours, overtime, mandatory deductions, bonuses, and more. I was responsible for billing our clients, as they were an agency. Addressing employee concerns, whether related to violations, promotions, or any other issues with our agency or the company they worked for, was part of my responsibilities. We also handled client concerns, always ensuring a strong and positive relationship. In my experience, I am more effective when I make a list before starting my day. I remove items from my list as I finish them and add or rearrange things depending on the requirements of my client or manager. Doing that helps me focus and not get distracted or pressured when deadlines pile up. being a virtual assistant gives me freedom and flexibility that has been missing in my professional life. I don’t regret getting into this field, and I see myself working as a virtual assistant for a very long time.
