Did I make a career shift?

The Freelancer

Shira Sepida | Versatile VA

I am an Admin Support Specialist and I have been freelancing for over ten years. Link building is my foundation. I specialized in data space support and mastered lead generation since 2015.

Every profession choice is certainly not an easy to path to take with, certainly not full of butterflies for freelancers too. The journey relies on how willing are you to go beyond your skillset. How much more time and knowledge you’re willing to impart for your growth.
