Efficient Calendar Management as a Virtual Assistant

Ana Barros

In 2019, I had the fantastic opportunity to work as a virtual assistant, managing the calendar of the esteemed hairstylist Manoel Mendes in Bogotá. Picture this: my days were a whirlwind of coordinating appointments, ensuring every client felt like a VIP, and keeping Mr. Mendes' schedule on point with effortless finesse.
As Manoel Mendes' right-hand (well, virtually speaking), I was the maestro behind the scenes, making sure his days ran smoother than a perfectly styled bob. From juggling back-to-back appointments to handling last-minute changes with grace, every day brought its own blend of challenges and excitement.
Beyond the administrative hustle, I had the pleasure of peeking into Bogotá's glamorous hair and beauty scene. It was a playground of creativity, where trends were set and transformations happened right before my eyes. Whether it was prepping for a major photoshoot or a celebrity client's red carpet moment, I was there, soaking in the buzz and energy of the salon world.
This role wasn't just about managing time; it was about crafting experiences. I learned how the right hairstyle could boost confidence and transform moods. It was about connecting with people from all walks of life, from fashionistas to everyday trendsetters, and making sure each interaction left a lasting impression.
Working with Manoel Mendes wasn't just a job; it was an adventure in professionalism and passion. It taught me the art of multitasking with a smile and the importance of keeping things light-hearted even in the busiest moments. And yes, I admit, I may have picked up a few styling tips along the way!
Overall, my stint as a virtual assistant for Manoel Mendes was a blend of hard work, creativity, and a touch of glam. It was a chapter in my career that I'll always look back on with fondness, knowing I helped shape more than just schedules — I helped craft moments of beauty and confidence for clients and colleagues alike.
