He’s an undergraduate.
Buried in deep debt, he tried his luck in the call center.
He worked as an agent for three years and quit.
Become a web specialist.
Fast forward to today.
He has already hired people to be part of his team of web developers.
The best part?
He’s able to see his kids grow, spend time with them, and be there for his family during every milestone in life.
Tomorrow, you’re going to meet Jeff.
Be inspired by the story of this super dad in our JasSuccess on this replay!
Tutorial on how to make your on portfolio
“Way back 2008 before I started with call center job, I really don’t speak fluent English. As time passes by, I want this - I read books, watch movies.” - Jeff
"I read books, I watched movies. It wasn't really an easy path but I was able to overcome that." - Jeff
“You need to make sure that you know the culture of every country.” - Jeff
"You have to make sure that you can connect with the clients." - Jeff
“You need to make sure you can connect with the client.” - Jeff
"Usually yung interview is about your personality, if you're fit to work with the client." - Phoenix
“If you lose your client, if you don't win your potential client, it only means you are not a good fit in communication. It has nothing to do with your skills. ” - Phoenix
"All of your experiences can help you sa freelancing." - Phoenix

Creating portfolio - “You only need to showcase the best that you can. At least 5 or 6 that you can showcase.” - Jeff
"You only need to showcase the best works that you have. At least 5-6 of your works." - Jeff
Hi po. Watching from Capiz Province po.
Don't forget to share this #JasSuccess Interview
"Check your emotions before putting up your portfolio." - Phoenix
Putting up a portfolio - “Check your works. 5-6 works have to be technically good.” - Phoenix
Jeff had the top score in the written exam but in the interview he failed. “I was the last applicant to be interviewed - I was hungry and cold - I was shaking.” - Jeff
“Pagdating sa freelancing, it is very important that you have good habits in writing your cover letter - your real step through the door.” - Phoenix
thank you sir Jeff...
Sana All new Iphone14 🙂
Blessed sa client. Wow!

Tips on making clients buy our PCs “I have this PC for 3 years. Lately I was experiencing blue screen. I asked my client if I can upgrade. He sent funds, he really invested in me. I was really thankful. We had plans on making great things.” - Jeff
Hohoy my mentor Jeff . 🙂
“Instead of paawa effect, introduce improvement (to client).” - Phoenix
"Give suggestions on how to improve your output." - Phoenix
Avoid presenting problems to your client.- Sir Phoenix
“Try to avoid presenting problems to your clients. We are problem solvers. Present the solution to the problem.” - Phoenix
present solutions/options to problem ... as freelancers we are our own bpo and service provider.
Client and Time Management on having more clients - “The current clients are the priority before other gigs. Instead of applying for other full time, other clients are project-based and my team are helpful in accomplishing those projects.” - Jeff
What made you decide to build your own team? “I was a one-man team with 5 full time clients with shifts until 3-4 AM. That’s one of the reason why I outsourced.” - Jeff
When should you start entertaining the thought of outsourcing? “(1) Need for extra hand to help (2) Helping the team to get a job.” - Jeff
HR is just a stickler with client's requirements...
I encountered and experienced a lot of times - “you’re an undergrad, we cannot have/promote you” - Jeff
HR ba ung nagiinterview
kasalanan ng company kasi they implement those qualification but very low salary.
Trust is the common ground to building a team.
nakalimot ko unsa to ako na mention pero sa ako to experience ug ni paul hahaha
Were there any problems that you went through as a team? “So far none, I manage them myself. When we have a project, we have a meeting for brainstorming and questions. Issues arise when you immediately do the project without asking them.” - Jeff
I like that bro Jeff, brainstorm then heartstorm to avoid the real storm
“My team wouldn’t be here for a long time if I am not a good example. Whatever we have, we have a win-win situation.” - Jeff
nag aaway ang team dahil ang iba sipsip at mahilig manira para umangat sila.
Sana maka training din
Brother Jeff is one of my mentor sa web dev. 🙂
Jay-r Jones Legaspi Racho thanks bro 🙂
