Virtual Latinos Community: Next Steps on How to Join

Dear Virtual Latino Professional,

Congratulations, you’ve completed the first step to join Virtual Latinos!

Thank you for your interest in the Virtual Latinos community, and for completing the first step in the application process.

The goal of Virtual Latinos is to give you an opportunity to connect with North American businesses who are interested in hiring virtual marketers and assistants to help them grow their companies online – and who’ll pay you more than what you’re probably earning today in your country.

What’s the Next Step?
In order to help American businesses determine whether or not you’re qualified to work for their companies, the Virtual Latinos team needs to learn more about you, your education, skills, English level, work history, and overall profile.

To help us get to know you, please complete the following:

Step 1: Take an online test to estimate your English level.

• Visit this page: Standard English test + Official Personalized English certificate.
• Sign up and complete the free 50-min EF SET English test.
  • Note: Do NOT sign-up with Facebook when registering online to take your English test, instead use “Sign-up with Email”.
• Your test results will be aligned with CEFR levels.
  • The minimum requirement for Virtual Latinos is 61 points (C1 level).
• Make sure you take note and save the link of your online English Certificate results, you’ll need it for step 6 and for later stages in the process.
  • The link to your English results will look like this: https://www.efset.org/cert/czHPTw
• Don’t forget this step, as we can’t accept anyone without an English test result. Be sure to send us your unique link, not the sample above.
  
• This is the only valid test for this purpose, we won’t accept other tests like TOEFL, IELTS, and others.
  • The validity period for your EF SET test results is 1 year. Please retake if your score is older.
